    New case advice- budget £40-50

    Hi

    I need a new case for my machine as the one i bought was a cheapy 19 quid one.

    I want it to look nice and tidy but I dont want to bling it up, just look tidy. My primary concern is for it to have good airflow and be withing my price range.

    There will be no neon fans etc going anywhere near it

    I have a 6800GT, 64 BIT athlon 3500 Venice, 1 Gig of Ram. Nothing overclocked.

    Thanks

    Id say either coolermaster or silverstone are your best bets. Probably a Centurion is the best case youll get for that kind of money, and a TJ05 if you can stretch to 60 quid.

    if you could bring your buget upto 70.

    Though if you can find something decent for the price you'd be better off going for something with 120mm fans

    Try the Antec slk3000B runs quiet/cool and is within your budget.

    Buy from Amazon or Microdirect... both around the £33 mark inc vat & del.
