    I think I'm going to plump for an igloo4, looks better than most of the other cases and it has everything the other have, and extras that the others haven't

    It's cheaper too

    Unhappy

    Yea your right Fezz, i was looking at getting it from there, but i was ordering my motherboard, CPU and RAM from scan, and i hate paying more P&P than i have to, even if it does work out to be the same price

    But anyway, i may get that green one afterall now. Im pissed off with Scan, they didn't dispatch my stuff on Monday, as i expected, as any other half decent company would have, and now they left it until 4:30 today to email me and tell me that silver case is out of stock ! Even though their bloody website still shows it in stock, they say I have to wait a week for more, or i can cancel it, or my whole order. I didn't even want to order from them in the first place, its just they work out to be the cheapest. Can anyone else find a place where it is cheaper overall to buy:

    AMd Athlon XP 2500+ Ret
    2 x 256Mb PC-2700 (I chose Corsair value select, but anything with some sort of decent name is fine, im not looking ot overclock it)
    MSI K7N2 Delta -ILSR no graphics

    Also i ordered a case and 3 80mm fans. But its the system parts im intereted in, i just pick the cases form the choice i have, unfortunately very limited from scan, an less you have ££££'s to spend on Aluminium.

    oh well, thats enough ratting for this hour

    I think im gonna get one of these 2 cases from www.xcase.co.uk

    http://www.xcase.co.uk/acatalog/XenonBlack.jpg

    http://www.xcase.co.uk/acatalog/SilverORB.jpg

    both £45.83 + P&P

    comes to about the same price as the £55 case i was going to get.

    What you guys think ? Could i get them cheaper somewhere else maybe? I dont really want a PSU ......
