Alrighty, now that ive decided on my power supply i was looking in to getting a new case aswell!
so basically im just asking what cases you like and/or give the thumbs up to?
I like the look of the mid-tower thermaltake soprano DX! http://www.thermaltake.com/product/C.../ve7000bws.asp
And possibly the Aguila version, my price range is roughly £70 quid-ish
recommendations lads?

Beats the Thermaltack stuff imo, Lian li's are good too ? :rockon2:

Good choice in recommendation.
Im using a CM cavalier 3 - top build quality but the cooling seems off balance due to the front 8cm intake, but I added a Scythe Kamabay which helped although Im now feeling the case is a little cramped with all the cables around.
Nice. Would that case house a water cooling system also?
Lian-Li eh...would you be kind enough to point me in the direction from where to buy them? :thumbsup:

Not my favourite shop but this case is sweet as in your price range. I've got a Coolermaster Wavemaster being modded at the moment and thats only got 80mm fans (got a 120 in the roof now !) but the build quality is brilliant, owned two Thermaltake cases (before seeing the light) and they dont compare imo !? :rockon2:

More or less the same as the above, but meh :P
If you can stretch 20 quid then i'd seriously recommend this (akasa): http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=137809
Really impressed with the coolermaster! The mystique 632 especially, looks great and got good reviews (from you lot anyway) lol
I was looking at the Lian Li website, saw the funkiest case i ever seen!

Reminds me of a snail :laugh: (sorry if i offended anyone whos actually got this case lol)
www.kustompcs.co.uk have a great range of Lian Li cases. I got mine from there. Brilliant service too.Quote:

I hate doors on cases. Apart from the obvious drawbacks I can't see how you can get good airflow into the case.
side vents and ones underneath and maybe from some up top.Quote:

nice one mate! great help, does it come with filters aswell for the fans? most likely gonna get the nine hundred now. I was plannin on puttin a water cooling kit inside or would this case remove the need for one? Happy building by the way, post pics when ur done! :thumbsup:Quote:
