    Which Case + P4 Mobo for about £150?

    I was thinking about these two:

    Asus P4P800E-Deluxe
    Thermaltake Tsunami Black with window

    That is £150 from microdirect.

    I want a motheroard which will take both 533/800FSB Processors, Dual channel memory (Must take DDR266 + 400)

    Just want to make it futureproof

    All suggestions welcome
    Ben

    What's wrong with the Case though?

    The reviews i've read suggest that it's a good choice and i like the looks for the money. I think that people don't like it because it's a copy of the Wavmaster in looks.

    Also it has 120mm fans and i would plan on making my PC silent in the future

    anyone else got any suggestions on alternatives?

    If not what are the best prices for these two?

    I got about £150 for both at microdirect including P&P

    dunno about mobo, however the Tsunami is a copy. I mean even the name is a copy, tsunami meaning big wave/tidal wave iirc... and it still looks crap.

    Get a nice lianli...

    How about an Antec P160 - I was thinking about one before I sorted out a Lian Li
