Decent case compatible with my build?

Friji · Nov 21, 2014

Hello. I recently finished choosing the components for the computer I want to build, but can't seem to find a reasonably priced case with good cable management and air flow. I'm from the UK, and would prefer to use Amazon if possible.

That's a very nice case indeed, but maybe a little too pricey for my budget

. Any alternatives?

Xavier Bouttier · Nov 21, 2014

'nice' cases with decent airflow and all the goody spaces behind the back plate for cable management are usually in the 70-120 pound bracket

True, but this website is full of geniuses, I'm sure there's a secret diamond somewhere!

Friji :

True

I dont know low end cases though, i like the bells and whistles they offer

I fell in love with the 500r (my rig at the moment) and my next rig will most likely be the 760t

or the 900D still need to decide on that

That case doesnt have front panel USB 3.0

And with a non modular PSU, he's gonna have a tough time with cables since there is barely and clearance behind the mobo tray, and no cutouts i hear.

Xavier Bouttier :

Just dont connect . Furthermore motherboards have a lot of rear USB s

Thanks for all of the replies. I'll take a closer look at each of the suggestions, but in the meantime does anyone know if the CPU cooler I've chosen will fit in the BitFenix Comrade? If not I think I'll try and save up a little more to try and get a case in the £40-£50 range, any suggestions at that budget if the BitFenix isn't an option?

What is your total budget, including case, for this system?

Friji · Nov 21, 2014

logainofhades :

Around £450. The whole system excluding a case is currently £426.19 on Amazon.

Thanks for taking the time out to build that for me.

Do you mind if I make another thread to get other opinions on which build to go for?

Friji :

That's not true! You can get some decent cases for about 50 quids such as a simple NZXT Phantom case.

Decent case compatible with my build?
