High I'm new to this forum.
;---------------------------------------------------------;
----------------------------------------------------
After searching for a cheap extended atx motherboard capable full towers I realised there non-existent (no cheaper than £63 seem to exist) and decided to go for a more capable case.
I was seriously considering the CaseCom CL-86 Full Tower PC Gaming Case with 2 Installed Fans from amazon.com (not on .co.uk site) but all reviewers describe the companies delivery as utter rubbish (whole months late!). So after struggling to be able to pick which case was best for me I decided to ask the experts.

What I'm looking for is a full tower e-atx compatible gaming pc case:
- below £150,
- not noisy (quiet fans),
- good ventilation (got a new motherboard),
- sleek smexy design,
- a reasonable (the more the better) amount of expansion slots:
at back for PCI-E Expansion Slots, at least 8 for my e-atx motherboard, the more the better.
and Disc and Hard Drive trays, the more the better, not low quality mounts.
- LEDs aren't necessary.
- No cheap case cross legs under the chassis (the set of two horizontal legs which look tacky and cheap).
- any additional features (e.g. extra controls, usb, etc. slots)


Hi, which of the following full tower pc cases is the best one:

- In Win E-ATX GRone gaming case
(the grey ascetically is my favourite pc in this list, great window; BUT apparently the fans are very loud)

- NZXT Phantom Full Tower Chassis with Orange Stripe - Phantom Black
(Cool looking - I believe its a Phantom based on the images (doesn't state under model))

- Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker XL-ATX Case
(Supposedly great cooling, nice overall design)

- Aerocool X-Predator Avenger Edition Full Tower Gaming Case with White LED Fans

Note: can't fit in the GRone Black as 10 is max poll count, if you like the black one just vote for the shared one, thanks.

IF you know a better one please recommended it to me. It needs to fit an e-atx motherboard thanks in advance .

Thanks Blackbird, I looked at it but it's out of stock, it has a nice amount of expansion slots at the back and looks like it has nice fans but I'm not really liking the design.

hmm... I like the design more, theres a nice amount of trays at the front and 3 custom holes for other stuff;
better bbird

I'll prob use more than 8 pci-e slots though (due to graphics card - going to be using extention cables to access blocked slots and use a custom built holders for cards I don't need access to (like additional graphics cards)

I'm going to wait to see if any one can beat blackbird to the punch.

Hi,
I wanted to get the In Win GRone Gun Metal Grey case, but it has too many drawbacks (load fans, only 7 slots, etc...), but now I'm defo thinking of getting either:

Aerocool X-Predator Evil Blue Full Tower Gaming Case No PSUUSB3Blue LED Fans

http://link1


Aerocool X-Predator Full Tower Gaming Case with No PSU and Orange LED Fans - Black

http://link2

Both have 'good, quiet cooling' and 10 pci-e slots and a good enough amount a expansion bays/ trays.
I am still open to more suggestions though, it would be nice to get a wider opinion on this topic to weight my options.


EDIT: In the end I went with The Aerocool X-Preditor Evil Blue; thanks blackbird for the suggestions
