They want a desktop case, otherwise I would highly recommend my CM 690 I have for sale :D

And can you fill out your system specs:

Namely for the CPU Cooler and graphics so we can suggest a good case.

2 x 140mms in the top
1 x 140mm in the bottom
2 x 120mm on the side
1 x 120mm in the rear
1 x 80mm behind the mobo
1 x 120mm in the front (Plus one more if you get a fan bay adaptor, like I have)

So 8 stock, with the potential for 9.

Oh and you need to make sure the drop down to show system specs is set to yes. We still cant see them :)

done, if i did buy your cm 690, how many fans would you include for the £55 price tag? and does that including shipping or would that cost extra, and how many fans would you sell me for a total of £66 (including case)

The case is £55 shipped.

So for £66 that would get you The case, which already has the front and rear fans in anyway, and then you can choose any of the fans in my thread minus £1 each for shipping.

So if a fan says £5, you get it for £4 shipped with the case.

If you can stretch to it, the 140mm Yate Loons would go great with that case. Then you are pretty much sorted in terms of fans
