    New case time

    Have a Chieftec Mesh case here, way too big, and im off to uni. Need something smaller and better for cooling..

    Budget of £50, possible to stretch it.
    Needs space for 3 hard drives, 2 dvd drives, an ATX case a True Black cooler and a 5770 gpu.

    Apart from that everything should be pretty standard in terms of fitting.

    What have you lot got for me?

    Slightly more expensive than budgeted @ £80, but the Fractal Design R2 (and soon to be released R3) is an excellent case with nice looks.

    or wait for the new version to come in stock.

    or look at the new precision range from Silverstone, look great imo.

    Re: New case time

    The oft-mentioned Casecom 6788 is worthy of consideration, although it looks like ebuyer are having some trouble getting it back in stock (last time I checked it said stock due on the 9th, that's now been pushed back to the 20th...)

    Re: New case time

    Been offered a Thermaltake Element G for £36 delivered, taken that, seems like a great deal.

    Yeah, buying it off someone. They have sprayed the hard drive cage red, but IMHO looks very good.
