Where can I view PC cases for real life in the UK? Like and actual store with every case imaginable?

some of the large UK tech website have brick and mortar store like overclockers have a store in newcastle

I think Curry's PC World might have a good selection, not sure if it's exclusive to where I live here in Scotland though.

 

In my local Curry's PC World store, I've managed to see a dozen cases, notably a Cooler Master H500P which I found to be extremely large in person.

Lol CURRYS? Maybe it's different there in Scotland, but here in England, Currys is utter dog crap for PC's. It's for grandpa and grandma. My local Currys have a selection of about 4-5 pc screens for example; most of which are not powered so you cannot see what the display looks like, and all of which are low end garbage.

Look how small it is. They probably have about 7 cases in there to look at.  It would cost me £250 just to get there.

It's probably because I live near two megastores and just got lucky, the selection is much more vibrant here. There's cases, memory, storage, monitors, and brand-specific products like Corsair fans, Cooler Master coolers, and gaming peripherals. I don't recall seeing CPUs or graphics cards though.

There's at least 7 visible in the image. I would say 8, but the one on the bottom could be a litter bin  

 

Where in the country are you? Assuming nowhere near the north, that would put you in the south... but how far?

 

The only store I've personally visited would be Scan in Bolton. Much bigger than the above one. I tried at least as many gaming chairs when I went. The only other one I can think of would be Novatech in Portsmouth but I've never visited. The google images only look like about a dozen cases in the back. Thing is, many of these are primarily warehouse style, so they don't have a massive showroom area.

8 cases is barely scratching the surface. 

Yes I live in the south of the UK. London. 

God that scan place is even further. 

There's a street view style view of the scan store, but it's still not that big at all. Still barely enough cases to view
