hi all im thinking of purchasing a new case but im looking for a case that has a side window, the case must also be big enough for my vapour x 5870 and a akasa freedom tower cpu cooler. my budget is around £100-£200, has anyone got any recommendations or ideas of a decent gaming case? thanks
Something I am looking at currently... http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Silv...Tower-Case-Black-Aluminum-with-Window-w-o-PSU - £144.49 I know it isn't a latest model (hence it is cheaper than it used to be) but you can't fault the build quality (and it is aluminium). The top half of the hard drive cage is removable for extra longer cards which also allows more air to flow over the GPU. Due to the width, you should get any height CPU cooler in it with room to spare. Edit: Even cheaper here...http://www.ebuyer.com/product/156829 - £137.93
I can second that as i have one sitting right next to me. Plenty of space for your components inside, also the included fans are nice and quiet. The dust filters work too, although one of them is a bit of a pain to clean. Very solid case. Looks are debatable - i really like it, but my 'mac' flatmate thinks it looks dull
Couldn't you just add a case window yourself? Its not the hardest of jobs and it'll be "unique" then. The only down side i can see with this option is you'll end up modding the whole case and you'll never be fully happy with it, or is it just me?
