Wozzer · Jul 3, 2008

Hello all,

Can someone reccomened me a gaming case. I dont it to big, and i'm not bothered by LED's or any thing fancy like that. However, I am bothered about heat.

I'm thinking of this:

Budgets really £50. Can anyone beat that ?

Christ - Quick replys. Thank you. Not sure still. All I need is a case which is really well cooled. At the moment, the one I picked seems to be the best. I might be wrong though.

Cooler Master 690 is a far better choice over the Antec 900 or any of the cases listed.

We aim to please, and as for cases, it's mostly a personal choice. As long as it holds everything you want, not going to break; you can mod the worst air cooled case to become an efficient one.

I forgot about size's and all of that. I'm going to have to check that against the specs that i'm going to get. I'm pretty sure its all okay for size. My specs are here:

Crucial 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL6 Lifetime Warranty

You can also consider this one - it is almost the same price as the Nine Hundred - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144802

Wozzer · Jul 3, 2008

Fair enough. I like both of them. Which one would be better out of the two. Any ideas ?

dark2099 · Jul 3, 2008

I have an Antec 900 and it is an ok case, the one downside to it is there are no filters on the fans so the case get's very dusty and fitting some of the newer PCI-E cards in there can be slightly hard due to size of the case.

The coolermaster centurion is a pretty decent case - I've never had any heat problems with it myself, just remember to replace the fans with more powerful ones. Its really easy to work with as well.

You can get a side window for it, I have one myself

I agree 100% on that, The 900 get's really old really fast so does cleaning it :mad:
