Hi,

Am gonner build a new System very soon in the UK and was wondering about PC cases. Can anyone highly recommend a Case for under £100.
I have been scouring the resources thread here but..
I can find loads but not sure if any are any good, i want a smart one... but not silly looking (i.e. No eyes etc. lol).
That price does'nt nessecarily have to include a Power supply because i have budgetted for a separate one.

Cheers

What are your requirements for a case?
How many opticals/HDDs, etc.?
How will you be cooling it?
What size motherboard must it accomodate?

It's easier to pick a case if you already know what must go in it.

Is this asking us to choose a style? A look? :unsure:

£100? I donno ur requirements, but that will get a godly case. That's like $200 CAD and i can get a sweet case with that kinda money.

Here are a few examples. I picked them simply because they include a 120mm fan. Many cases can't take a fan that size, so you have to use noisier 80mm fans.

Yeah sorry should have given a few more details...
I want mainly a gaming rig, probably 2 hard drives only
i want a normal motherboard and i hope it to have 120mm fans for slightly quieter performance.
