Yes, I remember the dilema I had over cases last year ..

In general I quite like Coolermaster but havent really looked yet .

I did see this however that quite liked the sound / look of.

what do you think ? ( never heard of the make myself )

Inwin are reasonably well known,although for more obscure cases and budget ones.

Your right, Im probably better trying to go for something more trusty and proven like this.

Though I do like the look of some of those mini aluminum cases , Im guessing most would impractical for anything that might require overclocking or gaming.

and some more ..

I must admit Im more tempted to go with Scan given their installation protection ( which for me prob is a good idea ) unless theres OCUK do it too ?

I would also look at the Corsair 300R though - it can take longer graphics cards. I would make sure whatever case you choose can take at least 12" long graphics cards.

Funnily enough i was just watching that on utube.

Antec 1100 was another.

The Xeon E3 1230 V2 will have a semi-locked multiplier unlike the Core i5 3570K meaning very limited overclocking capability in comparison. However,the Xeon E3 does have 8MB of L3 cache and HT,which might help with some games in the future. However,an overclocked Core i5 3570K would still be faster. IB runs hot if you push the overclock so I would advice you get a decent enough cooler.

The older case you have would be OK if you were not overclocking and I am not sure how long a graphics card it will take.

A newer case would be easier to build into,have better cooling,and more space.

I notice the i5-3570K & Xeon E3 1230 V2 are almost the same price on Scan ,but down to £149 on Amazon compared to £194.09 for the Xeon

Why ??

5 series cards are not out of date unless they are less than the 5670 cards. you can get a great card for around $110 us. the problem is, gamers are running cards at extremes resolutions and it burns the **** out of the card, which is why they are always upgrading.
