Wanting a nice case on budget?

Hey guys!

My budget is £350 to £390 pounds and I think I am about done...
Here is my build, however I am not sure if I should change the case. I understand that this is a good reliable case but is there anything with the same reliability for the same price but looking a bit cooler? Maybe a side window, a LED fan on the front or something! My budget for the case really only goes to £30 pounds so it will be hard. Also, could you just check out my build and tell me if it is OK and if I could save a little money anywhere?

here's a case that will be well built: http://www.ebuyer.com/344637-coolermaster-elite-361-min...


My prince rage is £15 to £35 pounds, although if it really is a better option I could go to £40.
I want a case with a LED fan on it but I don't want a case that is too small or impractical either.
Can I get the best of both worlds with this budget?

Thanks!

That one has lights, they are just not lit up. Is it a good idea anyway? Or is the one you suggested second better? :)

Its more of a matter of opinion, both have 120mm fans, both have lights, both are mostly built to the same quality, its your decision, there mostly the same. Actually get the antec one, from tom's hardware, it has 2 120mm fans.

Sorry for benig annoying but I have narrowed it down to the CoolerMaster 430 and the Zalaman Z9...
Is the Zalaman really worth the extra £5 or shall I stick with the coolermaster?

The zalaman has more than one fan, so for cooling options, the zalaman is better. I would expect it would be louder though.
