I really like the plain looking simplicity of the Sunbeam Freezing Storm.

Unable to post a link to the Sunbeam site as I've not got a minimum of 5 posts but if you Google you should find it.

A bit of a struggle to find one to buy at the moment though - used to be on EBuyer but not any more.

Sunbeam's are decent quality, old internal layout/design.

they seem to has dissaperaed from ebuyer


Add to Zak33's list the coolermaster elite 330 or 331, NZXT Evo Beta, Silverstone Precision PS03B, Zalman Z7 Plus and AKASA Raptor
Also the coolermaster elite 370 (although it seems to be massively delayed )


But I'd remove the sliverstone PS04 from the list, it's too narrow

wow what happened to those antec 300's they used to be a lot cheaper

The Coolermaster Elite 370 is under £35 and is worth considering too.

The 430's been heavly beaten with the ugly stick, ok it's not that bad, but I really don't like the bezel, the window design in nice.

I can now hopefully post links!

The Sunbeam Freezing Storm product page is still up on EBuyer:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150298

but is sadly saying it's likely to have been discontinued which is a shame. Looking on the Sunbeam site here:

http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/...ing-Storm.html

it does look nice. Maybe it is still being made as it is still up on their site.

It's a real personal preference thing is a case but I do like the plain simple ones myself although the CoolerMaster 430 is quite nice! You can always lose the fan with blue LEDs at the front.

Ninja edit FTW!

The 430 has a LED fan so it had to go!

[Homeking]

Does anyone have the Elite 430?

Is the front grill in front of LED fan as fragile as it looks in pictures?

Also apologies for hijacking the thread but anyone know what the Elite 500w power supply is like that's bundled with the 430 here:

Don't know, probably best to ask in the Scan section of Hexus

The coolermaster fans are fairly decent quality generally, not the best but not the worst.

Out of all those cases i would still go for the CM 690 II i linked because i have seen it go on sale for £45 on scan today,the case has excellent cable management and black interior.
