New Case City

[fatmas]

Right. Straight to the point.

I need a new Case,
I dont want a Side Window.
Black.
Good Design with cooling yet has to be quiet.
I want a 500W PSU or above also (although this can be separate)
Be able to support this system:
Athlon 2500
6800GS AGP
Couple of HDD's
Optical Drives.

And be able to support a higher system when needed.

Budget Including PSU. = £70 - £100
Recommendations?
Thanks Guys

Ok so 50/50 on the budget. £50 PSU. £50 case.

WHY do you need 500w? I ran my x2 4400, 7800gt, raptors, 250gb caviar, audigy 2zs, 2 dvd's of a 380w Antec, with loads of room to spare. Just need to know why you need 500w when a good 430w can run anything bar quad SLI.

Anyway, Lian Li PC7+ in black; that is the best case for £55 without a doubt, and a Tagan 430w for £55.

Goes over budget but I ran my main rig with that combo no worries.

If you want to fit it in budget change the case for a Antec Super Lanboy if you like its looks.

Cheers. I dont need a 500w. If a 400-450 runs everything that no qualms from me!
Thanks for the help

What do you think of the case suggestions?

 

[fatmas]

Yeah I had already looked at that one. It looks good.
Im curious though,
There is one below it that is more expensive but the only difference I can see is an additional 3 1/2 bay. Why the extra £££?

Thanks for the recommendations. Thats what i'll probably get!
Thanks.
Oh and Zefan said you would be the one replying to this.

Beneath the PC7+ is the PC-61, (I presume you are looking at the ocuk page)

The PC61 has a different chassis with 80mm fans all around rather than 120mm's front and back. It also has a motherboard tray which can be handy....
The pc61 has a better layout for the harddrives imo, can take more and makes better use of the space given.

However for the money the PC7 is the better case

 

[fatmas]

Yeah it was the PC61 on OC, The PC7 + does look good. Thanks for the advice guys
