Another Mid-tower design to look at is the NZXT Panzerbox, it has similar dimensions to the Antec 902 and a lot of nice features.

imo, this is pretty much as good as it gets, price/quality wise, room for i think 7 120mm fans. mesh front. the whole interior is stealth, and for the price you'd be silly not to! read loads of reviews, there new company and there products are cheap as chips

I have used the Coolermaster 590 Centurian case for half a dozen systems I built for other people. It is a very good general purpose case. Ventilation, airflow, and cooling are good.

If you are a gamer, then I would recommend looking at the Coolermaster 690 Dominator which is the 590's big brother. Ventilation, airflow, cooling, and cable management are better than the 590. Technical reviews are very favorable.

If the OP is looking at the Thermaltake V9 and Coolermaster Centurion 590, he is not looking to speed $200+ on a case. I admit the case listed by obsidian86 is sweet, but I would never pay that price for a case when I could get an Antec 1200, CM HAF 932... for $100 less.

I'm in agreement with JohnnyLucky... the best case for the OP's price range is the Coolermaster 690 Dominator

What... you didn't see a budget listed in between the lines... [:mousemonkey:5]

No there is no budget listed, I just took by the cases that were listed, the OP was looking for a case under £100 ... so it could all be [:thegreatgrapeape:6] on my thinking
