Is this £30 case any good ?

Faisal A

I am looking to build a PC on a very tight budget and I am now looking for a case. Should I get a cheap areocool case or pay £10 more and get a cooler master case ?

cooler master case -snip long link-

The Aerocool case is ATX, the Coolermaster Q300L is mATX. if your board is mATX either will work, but if your motherboard is ATX, only the Aerocool case will work. 

 

Personally I'd probably just stick with the Aerocool case. Unless you really value the small size of the Q300L, it doesnt offer anything the Aerocool case doesnt have for a $10 premium

Of these cases, The Tesseract (I believe) comes with the most fans at 2, but the Core V1 has a 200mm front intake fan, so that's pretty close to having two fans. 

 

What's your system specs?
