I've recently sold some stuff and now have enough money to put together an extremely budget system.

 

The one thing I'm stuck on is a case. I live in the UK and have ~£30-40 to spend, less if possible.

 

The Source 210 Elite looks tempting, but I'm not sure if it's the best I can get for my money.

 

Any help appreciated!

For the price, it doesn't really get better than the Source 210 for a mid tower.
