    I currently have http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134803 "Black Mid Tower Gaming Case With 12cm Tri-Colour Front Fan - No PSU", I woke up this morning and noticed the window has a 4" crack coming from one of the fan screws. So I'm looking at replacing it with a Superior case.

    • No more than £100, but can stretch a little
      Mid Tower Only
    • Air cooled and option for water cooling
    • Stylish
    • Side window prefered
    • Dust filters (I hate dust), But no biggy if not
    • I also have a thing for a door hiding drive bays. But I'm sure i could live without one

    Please post with your options and opinions. Anything and everything is appreciated. thanks

    im not sure how can having a side window be stylish when you are blasting people with blinding lights, but each to their own.

    at just over £100, here's Antec p182, superb looking case, very stylish. with easy access dust filters and door hiding drive bays.

    or Antec 902f for £85. have side window, but no doors for drive may, and feels a bit tacky with its LED fans.

    pc world ( yup i know not the most imaganative of places ) are doing the coolermaster Cosmos S case for under £100 atm.

    all drive bays and side have dust filters, perfect for adding water, made from alluminium to aid cooling. As for the drive bay im thinking of making my own cover similar to this...

    I have had some replies from another forum such as

    Cooler Master Storm Scout (Downside- no room for watercooling)
    Silverstone Fortress (Downside- Doesn't look £135)
    Antec 902
    Lian Li PC-7 YCF B Plus II
    Thermaltake Element S
    NZXT LEXA BlackLine (Downside- Misleading images of this and they don't carry the black on the inside)
    Cooler Master HAF 922 (Downside- Doesn't have dust filters)

    that Cosmos S is really cheap! definitely go for that.

    failing that, Antec 902 won't fail you.

    have you looked at the CM 590 and 690?

    no door, and no side window - but the 2 140mm fan grates stamped in the side are window enough for me.
    front is fully mesh, and filtered. i don't know uk prices, but USD they run about $59 and $69 respectively.
