Pretty much as the title says I need a new case for my PC (I have all the other parts but the last case sorta broke, whoops turns out using it as a footstools is not a good idea) and it's currently out of commision anyways so what is a good case to transplant the PC to. it needs to be ATX and havea 5.25" drive bay (so I can get an internal disc reader in it (as I do occasionally actually need to use CDs and yes I do know the year :P)) It also needs to support at least 1 360mm rads as I have one to coole my 1920X (it sorta broke but I am RMAing it) and as much cooling ability as possible would be great as I quite like having a PC that doesn't overheat (I was thinking at least 2 other fans excluding the rad fans, perferrably filtered). I don't know cases great so that's why I am asking here. And the budgets about £45-75 (lower is better). Also at least 1 internal 3.5" is needed (again more better)

 

Also on a side note setting up a new topic on a laptop with broken left and right click buttons is hard :P

Corsair 750D is quite a nice case, you can find them used for about £50-70.

That's great an all but the main problem is it's over £60 over budget I have a budget of £45-75 and it's £130

 

This case would work right

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M will take a 360 rad on the top. Phanteks lists a tempered glass version of the case, but I'm not sure it is available.

 

(Oh, I was researching and didn't see your post above. Yes, I think it will work for you. Maybe the best choice in your price range.)

Those are it on your budget and needs,The odd drive is slowly getting deleted from all cases.

yea I know it's both understandable and annoying when you still need to use it for driver disks for wierd old programmes for FPAs or old games

 

I have just looked at the Rosewell one their and it is breaking my mind, why does it have support for 2 PSUs, when as far as I can see it only supports 1 Motherboard at a time

Extra power to multiple GPU's. Back in the day where you might run many devices at once, and PSU's werent available in 2000w

thing is, I already need to buy a new case and spending money on a new case then another £40 on a fast external reader doesn't not sound as efficent as juts buying a case with support. As I already one some internal readers
