Sub £130 case

YoungDelinquent

Hey guys, I'm currently looking at the CM storm stryker, but I reckon it's too expensive. Anything to suggest? I don't know if I want a full tower or mid tower. I would have 1 gpu but might like to upgrade and add another later. The case also would need to last a long time (hence large budget). Anything I would be able to carry is a massive bonus and any widow as long as there's no fan vents in them. I detest them!

Fractal Design Define R4

Ehhh it's so simple and boring I have it and it's functional even though the top dual 140s do not fit any sort of radiator

The corsair case is a little ugly lol, however, it looks very functional. Why does everyone love the r4 so much? Thanks for the recommendations btw

240s fit up there, not sure about 280s though.

Yeah 240s for sure, as long as they aren't too long. I even checked the compatibility for the NZXT Kraken and it would not fit at the top like it said it would, so I had to take the hard drive bays out and the hards drive bay "holder" I guess at the top screwed to the bottom of the optical drive bay and to fit it at the front. It's a good case, I just think I have an "exclusivity" complex where I need stuff no one else has and we all know everyone and their grandma has the R4

I like the R4 because it looks very good. I think it has a very clean and mature look to it. I also like that it has silencing features. And I like the way it's organized on the inside. There are many cases which has good internals, some that have noise silencing and very few that looks as good as the R4 ;) Another thing is that reviewers tend to say that it's a lot of case for the money. 

 

You could also look at the Arc Midi R2 :P
