Hello.

 

I am looking a good clean case my budget will be in/around the £60-80 mark. What I essentially want is to have a case which looks plain but provides a lot space for my components.

 

My current components:

  • Sabertooth x58 mb
  • XSPC watercooling reservoir/pump (dual bay)
  • fan controller (single bay)
  • 240mm rad
  • r9 290
  • current case is the HAF 932

If anyone can give me a suggestion for a case that would fit these components please feel free to let me know :)

Corsair air 540... man this case has some room in it, perfect for building in.. only downside IMO is only 2x 3.5 HDD bays... but has 5 or 6 2.5" bays in the PSU side of the case.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

I would be able to fit my res/pump combo but nowhere to really put the touchscreen fan controller. 

 

EDIT: Plus this doesn't fall into my budget atm.

Ahh I see, sorry didn't even see the budget.. my bad! - also didn't realise it was a touchscreen fan controller... there is room, but it would be sideways on and look horrible probably. I used to have an analogue fan controller that doesn't look bad being horizontal or vertical IMO, just LEDS and knobs to turn down or up the fan speed. TBH I don't bother any more with it though as I set it and forget it nowadays. I love this case though and how much room it has and of course there's the seperate compartment for the PSU and cables etc.. keep meaning to take pictures some time but compared to a lot of other people's builds mine just looks clean and tidy, no bells and whistles to speak of, lol :)

It does look nice, and if I could afford it I would be it in a heart beat. I have also been looking at the corsair 750T or something onto those lines it looks pretty good as well.
