are there any cheap cases that are 230mm wide plus?

Why you need a wide PC for?
just need lots of room inside, the wider it is the better. don't care what it looks like either as i will be taking it apart and putting it back together for something other than a pc.
Most cheap cases are narrow, less material, less weight, cheaper shipping costs per unit.
The cheapest wide case I know of is the coolermatser HAF 912+ (as they don't sell the the basic HAF 912 in the UK)
You might be able to pick up a cheap 2nd hand Akasa Eclipse

It's an older design of case but still a good one with modding potential http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tp...=AK-BKCSE-01V3
Only thing wider are the old ATX cubes, mountainMods are the most well know of them http://www.mountainmods.com/computer...o-c-21_32.html not cheap and you'll have to import it.

that one on ebay is it the same as the one in the link to the Akasa site cos that looks ideal and i need a fan controller as well so its a winner.
If it's the one in the photo on the auction then yes it's the same case, it might be the non-window version.
I also think it might be the original one not the 64, which if I remember correctly only had mounts for 2x80mm fan in the front not a 120mm, although a 120mm or bigger would fit it might need some minor modding.
best bet contact the sell and ask if it's the Eclipse or Eclipse-64

Silverstone Fortress FT02 - seem to remember these were roomy inside.
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silve...-ap181-w-o-psu
better yet the new raven 3 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silve...window-w-o-psu much cheaper, nearly half the cost of the fortress02, but still rather costly, compaired to the HAF 912+ or this 2nd hand eclipse.

dude he has been looking for the price range around 20 pounds..FT02 and raven03 are far too expensive, second hand cases might be the only choice.
210mm is doable... but 230mm probably isn't.
I'm looking around. If I find anything will post it up for you
The NZXT source 210 was one of the cheapest cases I could find recently when building a system that would take a Megahalem.

It's woth looking out for a second hand Eclipse 62, I got one off ebay a while ago, I'd offer to sell you mine but it's in a state !
What do we think of the Akasa Venom Toxic at the moment. This seems to be a great value case on Promotion pricing. Looking to build my first rig and would like the benefit of having that legroom for watercooling and great cable management. I am a stickler for tidiness. Can't really say no for 85 quid....
