    Not sure how your currency translates into American dollars, but I own an Antec 900Two case and it has excellent air flow. I paid $129 American Dollars for it back in 2010. Here is a link to the site and the specific case: http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=722&fid=4

    Re: Good air cooling PC case £100

    Hi Anti-Uber182,

    You had started two identical threads in the Hardware section asking this question, so to avoid confusion (i.e. people answering twice/different people answering the same question in different threads) I've merged the two threads into one, and put it into the most appropriate section (cases/mods). It's always preferable to stick with one thred per topic/question, as it makes it easier for people to know who's asking what question.

    Regards,

    Jim (forum mod).

    Re: Good air cooling PC case £100

    Im using the Bitfenix colossus atm, very good case, though it lives up to its name. Going for £94 on scan now, it comes with 2 230mm fans, one front and one top for exhaust.

    I really like my http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silve...window-w-o-psu

    It has excellent air flow and rivals many a larger case but is around the size of a midi-ATX. Its excellent performance is a result of rotating the mobo 90 degrees so the GPUs are mounted vertically where they get better cooling as heat rises straight out the top.

    The smaller size does pose a few problems with working in the case but in my opinion it's worth putting in the extra effort for a case with good airflow and a relatively small form factor.
