    Looking for a new cheap case

    Currently i have the in Win - DRAGSLAY - Dragon Slayer Micro ATX Mesh Gaming Case
    Although this is a very pleasing case i would like something a little more "tough" looking
    I have been searching around but found nothing within my price range
    I don't mind paying but i don't want to shell out on something that looks "plain"


    Any help would be appreciated

    Also it's worth remembering that a cheap case might not offer you the best cooling or cable management features, paying a bit more will help your components last longer and get you a case that's easier to work inside plus it might also get you a case that's more 'future' proof.

    PS - Why did you centre your post? I thought that you had posted a blank page with a signature at the end when I first looked at it.

    Ok, well I'm assuming you are going to stick with the Micro ATX form factor, in which case there's this budget option NZXT Vulcan.

    Or this more expensive option, Sliverstone Fortress FT03 which was explained in more detail at the 2011 Computex show by Silverstone.

    I wouldn't worry too much about the formatting on your first post, it just through me, I think I'm the only one that missed that it was your actual post as no one else has commented.
