he has around £60 to spend but there are a few restrictions.

it cant be too deep ~22 inches
needs a solid door
around £60 pounds
2 usb's on the front.

thx for any help

I'm guessing he doesn't need a psu?

Antec SLK3000B
Thermaltake VB1000SNS Soprano (not sure on quality however)

If he can up the budget by about £20 -

Antec Sonata II
Coolermaster Mystique 631

Which are both much better quality

Hope this helps,

Dave

I used one of those for ages, I actually have my feet on it right now. Case itself is solid, nice and thick metal. The front door feels a bit flimsy, but mines still on and in one piece which is a pretty good performance.

The drive rails work great when they fit the drive, the rest of the time, they just snap, theres holes to use screws instead though, which I did.

Theres loads of drive bays, but if you have more than 4 or 5 hard discs you wont be able to fit any of the larger cards. My 7800GT went in with four though after a bit of wriggling. The cabling for the top port makes it a bit awkward to get the PSU in but nothing drastic.

The supplied fans aren't ultra quiet, but they wont bug you unless you're a noise freak.

Nothing remarkable about the case, but for the price you aren't going to get a remarkable case tbh.

I'd recommend the antec sonata II as well, it may be a little more expensive but it's a really good case and you can lock the door, that would mean that pesky little fingers won't be able to get in and press any buttons.

Try pimp modding and old beer barrel

The Centurion cases are great value now.
Also look at the ThermalTake cases. They are a little bit dear but they are the ONLY decent thing Thermaltake have ever made.

We've got a sonata, and its not bad.
- That said, its only a case, and the psu wasnt what it was cracked upto be.
- When i buy a case, 80% of the choice is purely on the exterier looks of the thing!
