    Looking for a new case!

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a new pc case for myself My system is currently houses in an NZXT Apollo but its getting a bit toasty and cramped in there so I'm looking for something a little more suitable. I have a few guidelines I would like to follow but they aren't strict, I'm open to pretty much anything

    Needs to be able to house an air cooled mid range system with a couple hard drives and a 9800gtx comfortably

    • Cool and quiet
    • No 80mm fans!
    • Preferebly with a window or with the option to buy a side panel with a window
    • I like brushed aluminium but I'm open to any paint finish, preferbly the case should be silver or black
    • Must be mid tower size, I recently purchased the coolermaster cosmos S which is a truly beautiful case, but when it arrived it is simply far too big for my needs so its in the process of being returned, the build quality was absolutely superb though.
    • suitable for the possibility of switching to water cooling in the future
    • I like black interiors but unpainted is fine as well.
    • Good cable management! I love my cases to be clean inside
    • Needs to be around the £100 mark or below.

    I quite like the PC-A09B so that is a definite possibility, interestingly enough I have also been looking at the Hiper cases as well but the osiris version instead, the mesh/plexi window is a very interesting idea.

    Remember that xcase prices do not include vat.

    No side window but have a look at the PC-7F

    Also rather out of budget but the silverstone fortress
    http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/823772/fort...se-window.html

    I will say that the Hiper osiris does look very nice, but I don't think it's that small.

    In response to the suggestions of the Hiper Osiris and you wanting a black interior -

    http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?NOV-HIPERC

    Cheaper and it's black inside

    It's 4.98*

    It's a good price
    But AFAIK all Hiper Osiris's come with black interiors, the difference here is black power & reset buttons and a novatech logo instead of the hiper logo.

    I'd still check the size as it's not a mid sized tower case.
