    First post from me for, heck ages. Basically I'm looking around at a new case. My Global Win 802 is getting a bit full and my hard drives are starting to over heat.

    Any sugestions, I'm looking at the Codeagen black case with Window from special tech as it has plenty of drive bays for my HDD's which are nicely separated.

    As much as I'd love a coolermaster or Lian Li, I really just can't stretch to one :(

    am basically looking at £50/£55 for my budget.

    Aria.co.uk have the Lian Li PC60 at £65 inc VAT which is a damn good offer... you'd have to be quick though, only 9 left :)

    Plus, they do often put Chieftec dragons in their deal for today page for about £42 inc VAT. Very good budget case with alot of modding capabilities :>

    I got a Chieftec- well built case with loads of room for HDDs, fans, etc. I was not keen on the design of the Dragon's lower front panel- didn't like the curved slots- so I got one with small rectangular holes. I can't remember the model name though!

    Cheers

    (it's a real pain buying anything out of the ordinary down here, isn't it. I live in Helston)

    lots of hdd and overheatin eh? get the chieftec dragon, quite big and well built with built in hdd cooler (well, hdd rack infront of the fan)

    at £42 its a steal. If ya do want alu on that price then £65 for a pc60 is very nice deal...shame u cant afford the cm201 for £90 tho :rock:
