Urgent Case Choice Help Required

I'm about to build my first system (with a mate's help) and having spent ages getting the spec right went to place my order with Scan only to discover that they're no longer stocking the case I decided upon - Coolermaster Centurion 530 due to the number of returns they were getting.

So I need some input on alternatives ( I chose the above case due to some good reviews) looking for a black case ( so I don't have to respec all the DVD drives etc) with a 120mm fan, understated looks, no PSU (I'm going for a Tagan on the basis of the help from this forum) and preferably from Scan to take advantage of the free p&p but not essential. Oh and budget up to about £40.

Looking to place order tonight or tomorrow morning hence urgency

Cant find anything better on Scan. Try www.xcase.co.uk

I personally like the look of the centurion 5 and teh silverston temjin j01b and j06b, although the jo6 is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggeee. Or theres always the stacker, which imo is gorgeous

Try this Antec case ... Only £37

Had some good reviews.

Used one of the Antecs ^^, they are great to work in, simple as you like but with the time saving features. Well ventilated when the fans installed, relatively quiet aswell.

Looks pretty dull though. Personally im not a fan of Antec.

Another vote for the antec.

I have the slk3000b and it's got very good ventilation and as with most cases that take 120mm fans with the right fans is very quiet.

Looks plain I agree but that's what I was after. Depends how 'understated' you want, everyone has a different notion of what that means to them.

By the way it has a door and some people absolutely hate them. I bought it thinking I would just remove it immediatley but found I got used to it very quickly and it didn't bother me.

The centurion is quite nice.

The Centurion is sweet. :x

Antec P180 - works for me - looks good too. Plus i've just watercooled mine, and it's almost silent now! :-D

It's cost 3 time more than his budget dude

Go for the Centurion 5 or better still, the Chenbro gaming bomb. Its black and well built. I have 2 of these and I really like them. The gaming bomb is also under £30 from scan.

Another vote for the Antec - not the best quality around but very spacious and has 2x120mm fan mounts. Also very quiet (check out reviews on silentpcreview.com).

I stuck on cheap vinyl floor mats to the case and its whisper quiet now with zero resonance. Only whoosing of air through the system and a faint sound from HS.

Thanks to everyone for the advice I have plumped for a Centurion 5

I did have an Antec Sonata which I thought was a pretty good case, nice hard drive mounts with rubber to stop vibration noise, a couple 120mm fan mounts, but wasn't a big fan of the door, just sold it to a mate and replaced it with a TJ06, much bigger but very nice. Another mate of mine has a gaming bomb and it's a pretty solid case, he managed to squeeze watercooling into somehow as well, lost the use of the top 2 5.25" bays though.
