I'm quite shocked to see the prices of many cases! There are so many over £100. I seem to remember just 3 years ago this wasn't the case. ( :D ).

Anyway, I'm doing a new build and here's what's going in there:

Standard: Mobo, RAM, PSU.

The specifics:

- I will start with one GFX card, but may upgrade to two (SLi'd).
- Want some decent cooling so at least 3-4 fans for me.
- Up to 4 HDDs.
- Up to 2 DVDRW drives.
- Sound card.

It's not a huge amount, and I'm not one to have six hard drives etc. but it's not minimal either.

Which case will fit all this in quite comfortably with a bit of space, be fairly quiet and not cost me a bomb? I'm looking ideally to stay under £80.

I've read about: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-065-AN

Within budget, looks good, fits everything, rated 5*. However, I will always ask on the forums about these things - anything I should know about? Apparently the PSU sits at the bottom meaning sometimes the cables aren't long enough?!
 
The Akasa Eclipse/Mirage although slightly over budget come to mind.

However although its not my cup of tea the Coolermaster Stacker 831 Special Edition with Silver Mesh can be had for one penny less than your budget from another online retailer.
Lots of people here have the antec 900 and are happy but for me its like everything i hate in cases personally.
 
The Antec NineHundred indeed places the PSU at the bottom. Cables will be plenty long enough for fitting all the hardware.

Only need extra cable length if you wish to mod the case and run the cabling behind the MB/case with some PSUs (esp the CPU power cabling)

Its a stonking case and keeps me running cool! Would recommend!
