Recommend me a good case

MadClown · Apr 12, 2009

Can someone recommend me a good quality case that isnt more than a foot wide or 21.5 inches tall, i just need a wider case for my 120mm xigmatek that i bought way back in january with intentions to do a little overclocking for once, my current 7.1'' wide case is to skinny, by about half a inch. As far as price, it isnt much of a concern, as long as the case is good, it doesnt need to be a full tower, but if thats all that would work i can prolly squeeze one in.

edit: fyi i have a 120mm Xigmatek HDT-S1284

Lol I read it twice for that reason, must've overlooked it twice then...

Silverstone Fortress. Small, but enough room for everything. Even a Xigmatek S1283 has plenty of room. It's pricey tho. But it looks really nice and feels sturdy.

+1.
Coolermaster cases rock! :rockout:

Best VFM IMO, I love my CM 690. Best mid tower I have owned

MadClown · Apr 12, 2009

Im sorta leaning on that cm 690, good price good size, but keep the suggestions coming, seeing as its Easter my order wont get processed for a day or two anyway.

kyle2020 · Apr 12, 2009

Slap some 14cm fans on the 690 and its the best performing case for sub £100. And one of the best looking this side of a Lian Li

alexp999 · Apr 12, 2009

£60 gets you a mid tower that is probably the best performing for its size, even out of more expensive cases.

I have 3 x 140mm fans, a 4 x 120mm. Dropped my GTX 260 temps about 10*C over my last case
