Hey guys,

I am looking for a new PC case soon and need help. There are so many to choose from, so if anyone could narrow it down that would be great.

My budget is up to £70, and I would like it to be mainly black with some subtle red.
Would also like possible lighting (red) inside - but not sure if you can just buy that separate anyway and install later?

Also, I've noticed some PC cases have a nice metal cover that sits over the PSU - would like this feature too as I like the idea of covering that part up.

Finally, it needs to be at least 20cm wide as I have a Noctua 12s cooler that only just fits in my old case which is 20cm wide. It also has to be no taller than 50cm. And I currently have a DVD drive so it would be nice to be able to transfer that over :)

Optical drive bay cuts choice down a lot.

This one would fit your requirements:
ECLIPSE P400 TEMPERED GLASS RED
Though - there would be no place for your DVD drive. But who uses DVDs nowadays anyway?
BTW - Noctua U12S cpu clearance requirements are 158mm (not 200mm).

If you can scrape together a bit more, you can get the awesome Phantek Enthoo Pro for £82 (AWD-IT).

Be wary of the cheaper Pro M if you want to add lots of drives, by the time you have bought all the drive bays, it costs more than the full Pro model.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I made a mistake when I said Noctua NH-U12S. I actually have a the NH-U14S. Does that make a difference?
The width of my current case is 20cm and it literally only just fits in my current case...

Thanks for that. If it says 'Limitation of CPU cooler: 165mm' - then is this OK?
