    is this case any good?


    Hi
    Next weekend I am planning to get a new case for my pc
    I will spend to a limit of 60 pounds
    At the moment I seem to quite like this one and I just wondered if it was any good

    Hey Ash, um, the page you posted can't be found..

    404 Error! but for 60 pounds you could buy let me check an UK retailer...

    Here: Antec Three Hundred Midi Case: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

    Or this one: Zalman Z7-PLUS Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Computer Chassis: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

    Or even this: Thermaltake Mid Tower WingRS 201 Case: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

    They're all under 60 pounds :)

    EDIT: ok, now the page shows.. Um, well.. it's an OK case, personally i don't like it but it seems like it has some sort of airflow going on, and it'll fit your computer parts without any problems.

    I like the Antec 300 the most. it's a simple case, not too much decoration, i like things simple :) and with the right cable management, and some fans you'll get a really nice airflow inside, keeping your parts cool :)

    Hey Ash30000,

    I kinda like the look of that “turbine” on the front.

    When I’m shopping for a case I write down what I’m looking for in regards to how functional it is first.

    -Does it have front panel ports
    -Can you fit large video cards
    -What size motherboard will it accept
    -How many drive bays does it have
    -How well is the cooling
    -Is it tool less
    -Cable management
    -Does it have dust filters

    From there I set a budget then look for the best looking one that fits my needs. Also keep in mind that your case should be the most future proof component in your system. You don’t want to be upgrading a component down the road such as a video card only to find that you need a new case because it won’t fit! Also keep in mind the new interfaces such as eSATA and USB 3.0. In the coming months you will start to see more and more storage devices using USB 3 or eSATA. And reaching around the back of a case just to plug in a USB 3 thumb drive will be a royal pain in the ***!

    Hope this helps and good luck with your purchase

    Odd place for the front panel ports - on the bottom. That speaks to me poor design.

    Depends on where you put the computer. Place it on your desk and it will be the perfect place for ports. Have it on the floor and yes, it could pose a problem.

    dont waste your money on that generic rubbish

    get a antec 100 or 300

    the 100 is better and newer but the 300 is still great if you cant source the 100
