    CBC are doing the Fractal Design Core 3000 for just £47.40 delivered.

    Great case, 3 large quiet fans pre-installed, simple fan controller for up to 3 fans, nice hard drive trays (3.5" and 2.5 compatible!). Built quality is excellent!

    link to manufacturer's product page

    Case comes highly recommended.

    If your friend can't stretch, then the Casecom KM-6988 and Casecom 5788 aren't bad. Also their included fans are a little too noisy for my taste and I don't like the drive mounting system.

    Casecom K5-9388 http://www.ebuyer.com/239238-casecom...an-k5-9388blue

    It's an improved tweaked version of the KM-6788
    Probably the best sub £30 case (and that can take a long graphics card by removing the drive cage)
    Fan's are not the best, if you've already got fans then the cheaper option of the K5-7688 http://www.ebuyer.com/251582-casecom...nt-fan-k5-7688

    Ended up ordering Xigmatek Asgard III Chassis with Window from Play. Massive cost of £32.99!

    Thank you all for your suggestions though!
