    what about my build?

    Evga 600b
    Asus m5a97 r2
    AMD FX 6300
    SKills 8GBP ripjaws x Ddr 3 2133 dual kit
    WD Cavier blue 1tb (recently passed away)
    Powercolor Devil r9 270x
    CIT vantage type r case in red.
    Windows 8
    Samsung basic 240GB sdd still to be installed.
    Samsung 24 inch ips screen but I forget model.

    I'm looking to replace the case as it is flimsy cheap and poorly put together. I love NXTZ Phantom 630 but would not be able to open th front door/hatch due to pc location. Any similar alternative with buttons on top would be appreciated.

    Is it just the case you want to replace? Budget?

    For a good case with the front ports and buttons on the top have a look at the fractal design ARC midi r2 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/fract...usb-30-w-o-psu
    Or the coolemaster 690 III http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coole...side-window-w-

    With ports&buttons on the front but at the top of the front
    Corasir 300r http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsa...usb-30-w-o-psu or 230T http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsa...ck-with-red-le or the old Antec 302 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/antec...g-case-w-o-psu

    All are far better quality than that CIT

    I like the design of the fractal design one an would save me a few quid over the ones I'm looking at. The buttons on th corsair at on the front though.

    I have £300 to spend but unwilling to go over £100. The CIT has put me right off budget cases.

    EDIT: I have went for fractal design i think this case is really good for the money. It also allows you to clip on two ssd's the the rear of the MB:http://www.scan.co.uk/products/fract...k)-with-window

    Personally I'd stick with the midi unless you're planning on water cooling loops, you really don't need something the size of a full tower
