    I would go for the Phong II, as for ugly I suppose that is all personal opinion, I think it looks quite cool.

    If you are interested I'll take some photos of my system tonight so you can see it "in action".

    As for places to buy it, you can pretty much only get it at PC World, they must have a distrobution deal with Jeantech. PC World's order online/pickup in store works well though.

    You said you don't want coolermaster recommendations, so I won't recommend the excellent Centurion ones, have you looked at some Antec cases? I think the Sonata looks ace, for eg.
    I've already looked at the Coolermaster ones and they seem to tick all the boxes for me at least, I just wanted recommendations for some other options

    In terms of Antec, I've just been looking at their PSU's and cases. Based on my initial research, they seem to be a pretty decent company in terms of the quality of their goods?

    Another vote for the Antec Solo here - best case I've owned.

    Not too big, nice silencing features like the sound deadening panels and silicone gromets for fans and HDDs, three speed fan on back and a really nice high gloss finish.

    If you like a nice classy, conservative case rather than some big gaming monstrosity that looks like an aliens head or something. It's a case you'd be happy to have in your lounge alongside a high end hi-fi or something.

    Enermax Chakra is a half decent sub £50 case........Shame it doesn't come with the 250mm fan though.

    I finally decided on a case... Antec P180 ...and broke my budget while I was at it.

    Bought off eBuyer and a bargain at £80 so I can't really complain.
