arronleeds

hey guys, id have £85 but amazon f**ked me and made me go overdrawn so the bank took £10 and amazon are paying me it back within 3 days (i cant wait that long lol), so the budget is £75, it needs to support my cooler which is 168mm in height (r1 ultimate) thankyouuuuu.

having used one for a friend, it is perfectly fine apart from the 24 Pin, which has a weird "shroud" (I have no clue what to call it)

My current build - Ever Changing.

Number 1 On LTT LGA 1150 CPU Cinebench R15

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the S340 will fit the R1 Ultimate, the max cpu cooler height for that case is 161mm the R1 Ultimate is 168.3mm

Personally OP, if you are situated in Leeds, I would try and find £3 under the sofa, and go over to CCL and get this

where is ccl? bradford? would cost £5 almost for bus, the phantek doesnt have removable bays either and doesnt look very nice, thinking about getting the define s windowed and just having regular delivery, either that or the source 530, which would you get out of them two.

Fractal Design cases are really nice (I used the R4 myself) as long as you haven't got a crazy SSD/HDD set up the Define S should serve you well, if however you do have quite a few HDDs and an Optical Drive I would bet you could find windowed Define R4's now in your price range (SSD brackets aren't removable, but that has never been an issue for me... screw them in on the back panel and forget about them).

 

Saying that the S530 does look like a nice case, I have no experience with it though.

Could you use Scan's UPS collect from a local shop service? £4.79, and there may be somewhere quite close they could deliver to?

theyre cons, they took £79 from me the other month and they made me go overdrawn, it was because of amazon prime, they were on watchdogs about it.rang em up today and told em straight, said if you dont pay me the amount the bank charged me im taking it further.
