    Got a budget of £50, looking a case with good cable management solution, fans and heaps of space.

    You can pick up cheap cases that are plenty roomy in size, but dont expect too many options for cases with any/good fans or great cable management- many lower-end cases like this are cheap for a reason; a good case that is used would be your best bet for getting a quality item.

    Hence, check out the reviews and then go on a rummage around the tubes of the interweb...

    Bitfenix shinobi or a antec 100 are meant to be quite good.

    The Antec 100 is just under £40 at Scan at the mo. I don't think you can go wrong for that money, have a read through the BT review here.

    Seems a good buy for the money, rear and top fans included (AFAIK) and room for 3 more 120mms.

    Hell, it's not the best but I'd plump for it if I needed a case for £50.

    May I recommend the Zalman Z9 Plus - it's epic for the price of £45.

    Yep i have built in lots of Z9's very easy to build a tidy system in, plus the budget Fractal range are good for the money, better in real life then the pictures do them justice.
    The big one is the Core 3000:

    Or an Antce 300, as i think the one hundreds look too cheap.
