Help finding a new case (£60-£90)

[watforddude]

Well I never thought it would be that hard choosing a new case. I must have spent from 11PM till 3 in the morning with no success and most of today and I can't narrow it down so I've given in and come for help.

The cases I do like are the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, CM Scout 2 Advanced (very nearly bought it last night) and the Corsair 450D, also the Corsair Vengeance c70 looked alright but Im not sure.

Im open to any ideas and obviously the cheaper the better, just need convincing for one case over another.

I have an Asus 280x and I Corsair H50 so they need to accommodate those.

Thanks in advanced.

I like the C70 personally, but all I can suggest is that you find a good video review of each case and see what the reviewer thinks of them. For cases I like the reviews that Tiny Tom Logan does on Youtube, but his videos are long and he tends to ramble quite a bit, on the other hand he goes into a lot of depth and covers things other reviewers tend to miss.

In my opinion, the C70 is the one that looks the best, but if you were close to getting the Coolermaster case then it might mean that case is the one you'd prefer to be looking at for the next 3 to 5 years.

Well I like the look of the CM the most but I can't work out why it's considerably cheaper than other cases like it (59.99) I feel like I'm missing something hence why I put off buying it.

Want something with decent internal size too for ease of use.

Perhaps this but it looks quite small and the Asus 280x is huge.

Are you planning on using watercooling?

If you are, the CM Scout 2 Advanced has a drawback with the 2x120mm fan slots at the top in that they have included plastic fan clips which means you have to mount your fans in a pull configuration and this leaves the rad obscuring the top of the mobo, the clips get in the way of mounting the rad with the fans set to push. Other than that most people seem to like the case and it looks like it would be easy to build with.

No I won't be watercooling just air. I was also thinking about picking up the Fractal R4 windowed version.

I do love the look of the scout though, do you know if the cable management would be good?

There are quite a few reviews of this model on Youtube, here is one of the shorter reviews:
