    Best Value Mid Case?

    I am looking at building my first PC and was wondering what the best sub £60 case would be? I am looking at putting one Graphics card inside and will not need space for Water Cooling.

    The coolermaster Storm Enforcer looks a quality buy for £60

    Or for £40 the Lian Li Lancool k60B has decent build quality.

    I have the first version of this and absolutely love it: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coole...e-sata-w-o-psu

    Amazing airflow if you add your own fans to the top and bottom with plenty of space inside for some of the biggest components(I fit a Thermalright Ultra 120 on my CPU)

    £40 (well £46 after p&p) for the K60 is a great bargain a solid case which comes with a full set of fans so you don't need to buy extras and the best tooless features bar none.
    Main down sides, not black inside, slightly older drive bay layout 5x external 5.25" and 4x internal 3.5" hard drive bays.

    These have now been replaced by the K61, which has a more current 3x external 5.25" and 6x internal 3.5" or 2.5" bays in two separate removable caddies
    Not easy to find the K61 in the UK there is the K59 which is the replacement for the K58 and like K58 it's the same case but lacks the two additional top fans and requires special screws to fit 140mm fans only in the top.
    Although I prefer the look of the K58/K60 to the newer K59/K61

    Nice price on the storm enforcer which is also a really nice case for the cost

    Although it does depend a bit on what you're putting in it, there are some decent sub £30 cases about eg CaseCom K5-9388 http://www.ebuyer.com/239238-casecom...an-k5-9388blue or Bitfenix Merc Alpha (ok just over £30) http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/...pid-14520.html, although for £10 more that K60 offer beats most of them easily.
