As per the pic above. . . .

You can get one of these: OcUK Solar YCC-62FI - Aluminium/Beige Case for £29.89 inc VAT

You can always spray it another colour with enamel based spray, also has wheels included, can have 1 120mm fan at front & 1 120mm at back, its a great case trust me. ;)

It's basically the same case as the Akasa Eclipse 62 which costs £91.99 inc VAT :eek: (See Marlos's pic above!)
 
there is nothing that seperates cases - they are all similar layout etc

pick one you like

if you want a gamer case - you should look at one with blue led's

if you want class, go for silverstone
there are a few lian li's that are good but in my experience - some of them are poorly made

you need to state budget and describe what you are looking for if you want help

cases are personal preference - people will only reccomend their own case
 
Got an Antec 900 on Friday to replacement my Silverstone TJ07. best case I've ever owned. The NB runs 11deg cooler for starters!
 
Well I bought an Antec 300 for gaming (amongst other things) and it looks great. Easy thumbscrew access, spacious, superb cooling (idling at 30degC core) and really quiet too.

my reply to that is.
components are becoming bigger and more power hungry and ive got the power in my psu's to power them in the future.
whats the point in buying a psu to power what you have and then buying a new g/c and finding out you need a new psu.....waste of money imo.

But you can't though because all you really have is a 650w

The 550w is doing nothing and never will be.
 
ive been looking at the antec 300 but i would like your advice to see if its a good gaming case and what fans i would need to buy
thanks scezy
 
It comes with a 140mm and 120mm tricool exhaust fans as standard fitted (you can change the speed of these to low/med/high with a switch on each of the fans).

Now below is to buy as extra if you wish.
There is space for two 120mm intakes (directly in front of the hard drive bays) and a 120mm gpu intake on the side panel. The front intake fan spaces have a removable/washable dust guard behind them.

Obviously by adding these extra fans you're getting more cooling and of course you can give your case some bling with coloured leds.

If it's a good gaming case, well it depends what you put in it I suppose. ;)
 
Imo I don't really like the Antec's (dislike grills), think they spoil a clean look.

I would suggest either the Hiper Osiris or the Coolermaster ATCS 840 (expensive though)
