Cases

[Lead_Head]

Hello all,

In the new year I'm going to be building a whole new PC. One of the most important parts of a PC is the case.

I've got a £50 budget, and I've not decided if that includes a PSU or not. It will be to house the Intel 955XBK.

So what case recommendations do you have? What PSU's are good as standard bundled with cases?

I've built a few SFF machines before but this is my first time on a ATX case, so need a bit of guidance!

I like Beantech Igloos myself - made of aluminium, well made, motherboard tray, 3x80mm fans, fan filter, etc. Alternatively, you could go for a Chieftec Dragon - the only bad thing, from my point of view, was the weight - it is heavy! It might also be too big, depending how big you want your case.

normally the power supplies that come wqith cases are poor so if you want to overclock you would need to buy a decent sperate one

I'm not too bothered about overclocking to be honest, but I don't want the PSU to goose all my parts!
