Case question.

Ok here's the deal. I am building my first pc (specs in sig) and I have almost all parts. The only thing I'm missing right now is the PSU and Cooler (which ill be getting in the next few days) and the Case (Phantom 530). Now it turns out that the case won't be available until mid October here in Sweden, however I can't wait that long cause I want my pc NOW! :) So here is my question should I go and by the simplest case I can find for around 300kr (50$) and have that as a placeholder for my parts until the Phantom is released. I just really want to use my pc now and not wait until October.

What do you guys think?

I think you should do just that. Buy a simple case and wait.

Either that, or pick from one of the other phantom cases, they are pretty similar, and if you can live with being another case, you could do that.

But if not, get a cheapass case, something from coolermaster like the elite 430 or something

Everyone have a cool signature. I don't, so I thought I would write something.

- Cool right?
