    Xigmatek Midgard or similar

    Does anyone have experience with this case? I'm looking for one around the same price (£50-60) and this seems to be excellent value for money, great looks and comes with 2 quality fans. i've also checked out the popular antec 300 (Kinda dont like it) and a few random cheapo ones.

    Wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for a good looking case around £50 that compares with the xigmatek.

    Re: Xigmatek Midgard or similar

    yes there's loads

    My personal choise would be the lan cool K58
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Lanco...97-Audio-ports

    Also the Coolermaster 690 (the case that midguard is based on)
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Coole...-Panel-w-o-PSU
    and the 590 same internals, except the hard drive bay

    /
    CM gladiator 600 (only a single top fan)
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Coole...r-Case-w-o-PSU

    Then we have the latest set of cases, these are all almost identical inside they must all be made by a single OEM.
    NZXT M59
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/NZXT-...r-Case-w-o-PSU
    Akasa Freedom Xone
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Akasa...r-Case-w-o-PSU
    thermaltake v3
    again same insides, but a normal front/back hard drive bay, don't ask me what this etailer is like, it's the only one I can find selling it off hand is all.

    Thermaltake element T, but as this is a copy of the antec 300 I doubt you'd like it

    edit: also the xclio night hawk

    Go with the lancool K58 if you want quality. I also would recommend the Coolermaster CM690 as this is also good, but my personal choice would be the K58.

    Re: Xigmatek Midgard or similar

    Personally I'd go for the LanCool K60 but it's not sold in the UK only the K58 or K62

    Difference is
    K58 no top fans included, grey inside. (cheapest)
    K60 all fans included, all black
    K62 all fan included and blue LED, all black, window side panel. (most expensive)

    I should mention the CaseCom KM-6788 as well, lowest quality but basically the same as the M59 or Freedom Xone inside (but only one top fan) however it's very cheap at under £30 it's still a nice case.
