Case from Scan for <£50

[Rack]

Hey everyone,
I am looking at building a PC, and I was pretty set on the P150, however Scan do not sell it!
Since I was hoping to buy everything from Scan, this is a bit of a let down, but I won't let it stop me.

I need something quiet and generally appealing - ie looks good quality and classic styling (not lots of LED's, windows, etc)

So has anyone bought a case from scan in the <&#163;50 mark that looks classic, and has 2 x 120mm fans (1 in, 1 out)?

Any recommendations?

I found this gigabyte one:


Sort of what I'm after, but it's on the limit of my budget.

This is a case i have bought from Scan and it is really nice:



Only about &#163;30 too!

Are they drive stealthers on the front?
The gigabyte one has a brushed Alu front, however that's &#163;20 difference... I am putting together a machine for &#163;800 though (that's inc. monitor, windows, AV, etc), so would like something a bit nice. Does the front look plasticy? (in the flesh)

Cracking chassis for the price.

Might be a bit dated style-wise and is too heavy for some people to lift

enough space for a family of four to have a camping holiday, and enough places for tidying the cables as well.

Not 120mm fans but 80mm - so couple the case with some good quiet fans (sharkoon for example) and it's quite nice actually

I found this one too:

it has 120mm fans, a easy-removeable dust filter and looks like drive stealthers too... now I'v got too much choice.

Looking for a midi-tower! I like it for value, but I'm replacing the P150, not P180!

OK, I'm going to keep going on this... anyone used this case:

I like that one too, but it's on Pre-order...

The Gigabyte case does look nice but a bit pricey IMO.

The Akasa is the one I was going to recommend but it sells out pretty quickly. They should have stock within a week though (IMO).

The one Lee's recommended may sound like a hairdryer with all fan spaces filled!

The Arctic Cooling isn't the best - see review on silentpcreview.com.

I ordered the Akasa recently and it went out of stock so got the Antec SLK3000B from Ebuyer - it was &#163;32 with free Super Saver delivery. They have put the price up to around &#163;39 with free delivery though - just checked and out of stock.

Best place for the Antec is lowestonweb.com for &#163;40 with free delivery then - just checked and out of stock again.
