Hi, folks!
It's all in the title really but I'm looking for quite a bit for not a lot, and thought I'd better get some advice on it. xD
My budget is tight so I really don't want to spend more than £45 on the case, but I can stretch up to £50 at a push if there's a really good reason to do so. Ideally I want to spend less.
I don't care about looks, the case can take up as much room as it wants and I'm not even too concerned about build quality as long as it's decent - I'm always careful with my stuff.
What I am looking for is air-flow, dust protection, cable management and good built in fans. Money is tight right now but over time I'm hoping to build up a strong, probably overclocked animating/rendering machine in this case. That in mind it's also got to have plenty of space for dual graphics cards and cooling gear... when I eventually get them. xD
USB3.0 on the front panel would be a real pro but isn't vital, I'll be adding in a multi-card reader on a drive bay at some point, so USB3.0 can come in with that if need be.
So far it looks like the best budget case available is probably the Corsair 200r; I've been keeping an out for an on-sale/pre-owned one for a while but no luck so far.
So, any other suggestions?
I'd love to hear them!
Cheers,
Paul
edit: Also, anyone know any good places to go for second hand cases and RAM? Other than ebay obviously, I've not been off there for the last 3 days. Haha. Cheers.
