Hey everyone Newbie here :)

Built my first PC about a year ago and it has been running perfectly :bounce:. I currently have an Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard in a Corsair Obsidian 650D Computer Case.

My main point is. After having the case for quite some time, I have fallen out of love with it. It is too bland in my opinion and also HUGE. It is that big for my living room it stands out like a sore thumb even though my heart, soul and wages went into it and when looking for a PC desk it has been difficult to find one I like that the case would fit in. (height and depth wise)

What I am looking from you fine folk is some recommendations on a slightly smaller and easier on the eyes tower that wont break that bank. Something that is not outrageous in how it looks, but looks more than just a giant box that has nearlty £900 of components inside it. I dont know much about how these cases are in terms of value for money or how good they are but Something with the looks of a Zalman Z11 Plus midi tower case or a CiT Midi Mesh Gaming Case but obviously a bit smaller.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks :D

Splendid
The add some color fans or put those Christmas lights to good use by wrapping it around your case and light it up like Vegas! :p
Seriously that Corsair case cost around $170. How much do you want to spend on your new case?
ATX board limits your cases to large size, so even though it's new it's still going to be somewhat huge.
What color is your surrounding area. Might be good to get a case that matches it, so it blends in.

Yeah just looked online at some of the Corsair cases that have been tidied up by using LED's and stuff and they actually look good may give this a try to see if it re kindles the love I had for it when I bought it. That is my main problem I dont want to go and spend another £100 on a case would rather get a decent looking one for about half that if I could.
