For 100, whatta budget, spent £30 on my case Coolermaster Centurian C5. Are you looking for a PSU for that muhc as well?
Could alwase spend a little more http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=139159
I like this: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=301962&cks=PRL. It's aluminium, so it is light. It's well made, motherboard tray, lots of thumb screws. It's the best I could find for the price.

I adore the Tsunami dream
I still like the Coolermaster wavemasters and the various clones like the Silverstone Temjin J05 & the Thermaltake Tsunami.
I like the enermax PSUs they are efficient, reliable and quiet. I think 600W is overkill for 99% of PCs and the enermax 485W will be more than adequate. Everyone recommends Tagan but they are not as efficient although they are good in other respects. I'd like to give the Fortron blue storm a try which is another very efficient PSU and slightly cheaper than the enermax with a single 120mm fan.
I picked up the black cavalier 3 for £35 at komplett and it's a great case for the money. I was looking for another the other day and the cheapest I found was silver with a side window for £43 at scan.

Lian Li PC-60 (Aluminium) or PC-61 (Black Aluminium)
I paid around £80 for my PC-61 and have adored it. Though it is a bit hard to find a tape drive fascia in black >:E

I ain't taking my Tape drive apart.
Didn't cost me a penny to buy it, but it will cost me a chunk if i break it :@

Anything with 120mm fan holes
I would have used to say Lian Li as I used to swear by them but the Akasa Eclipse I have (or had ) is the best case I have ever used. I have built around 300 systems in my time across different platforms and cases and this is by far the best.
120mm fans and lots of space

TJ05 is nice, pretty big, i have one for sale, but it's been modded.
i think im going to go for the tsunami dream, looks nicer than the other ones mentioned and doesnt seem to have been put together badly either. 80 quid is a nice price

i know some people who had some bad experiences with the tsunaimi, go with the wavemaster instead
wavemaster was my second choice. What problems did they have exactly?
