I'm thinking of donating my old i7920 to my stepson. But we need a cheap case with adequate ventilation
What would you recommend ?

What is your maximum budget?
I would probably show your son the cases on this webpage:
http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-...formance-cases
He could see what cases he likes the look of most.
As ever Cat I am in awe of your knowledge !
Probably max £40.
What's your opinion of the CM335 ?

I'm going to jump in before Pob to recommend Casecom! Ebuyer have a range of Casecom K-series cases starting at £20, with bottom mounted PSUs and plenty of fan mounts. Check out http://www.ebuyer.com/search?page=1&...ltersubcat=418 - ignore the generic C-series cases, have a look at the K-series ones: both Pob and I have used these in builds and have been pleasantly surprised by just how much case you get for your money

damn you scaryjim
the C series is cheap flimsy junk, K series is decent, K5 is slightly better than the KM it's just a slight tweak to the design that fixed a couple of minor issues in the KM
I'll be selling my old KM-6788 shortly, I'll do it for you with fans if you like

Sorry photobucket links broken
Forgot about the K series!
Might have saved me a lot of posts!!
The Casecom K5-9388 appears to have a removable hard drive cage,which means long cards should also fit fine.

Well, yes, if I tried to put a hat on my cat it would fall off, then the cat would savage it. That's what cats do
And now I need to tell myself off for going off topic
Apologies.
