Antec Cases Currently on weekly ,, would be a no brainer for me . I have the P110 in my living room , the build quality is better than any thing phanteks has in that price range

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Antec DP301M Dark Phantom Micro-ATX Case - Black Window= £35.99

1 x Antec P6 Micro-ATX Case - Black Window= £40.99

1 x Antec P8 Midi-Tower Gaming Case - Black Glass Window= £52.99

1 x Antec P110 Midi Tower RGB Gaming Case - Black Tempered Glass= £77.99

Total: £241.50 (includes shipping: £33.54)

I am considering the 110 myself but cannot make my mind up, i take it from your comment that you would recommend this at 78 quid?

for £78 id choose something else tbh... That's my opinion though, It depends what you want from your case

nothing against the case its probably a great case and a good price... Just personal preference tbh, I see there are NZXT cases around that price and I know what they're like to work with inside the case and looks great... Also I really like the Phanteks p350x at £65.. RGB bits if that's your thing and looks great.. My other Phanteks cases ive had have been brilliant quality

Ahh cheers. I have an NZXT case at the moment but it's ancient so it really needs replacing and it was all I could afford at the time so I bought a cheapo one. Im not actually fussed about RGB, it was more the tempered glass side panel and the other ones I looked at by phanteks didnt have them, although Ill have a look at the 350x.

if in doubt, just get a fractal design case

can't go too far wrong

I had the S340 with the smaller window but now they do the full window it looks mint... Every pc I build has to have a side window tempered glass I think it really shows off the build but you need to make sure cable management is on point

I like https://www.overclockers.co.uk/frac...ower-case-black-tempered-glass-ca-07f-fd.html but I kinda want a 5.25" bay fan controller so its not really an option with that one.

i've got 2 FD cases and they're both easy to work with...so can handily recommend them

ah yeah, personal needs/tastes differs so will just have to get a case that suits your needs

The antec p110 is better than any phateks case that's under £100. The build quality on phanteks drops significantly on the sub £100 models of course that's just my opinion too

I had the Phanteks Evolv ITX and must say the quality on that was pretty damn good for a £70 case at the time...

Can't say I agree having looked at both. The Pro for example beats it hands down and that's a 4 year old case.

well i have to bow to your wiser wisdom, as you will have seen them all. i dont have the funds to try every case..
