Hi all.

So I am finally able to build my custom rig for the first time (first time pc builder). I have all the parts that I need but there's one that I don't, The case. I hereby challenge the forums to find me one!

I have a micro atx motherboard and I have a power supply as well. I also have a cooler master hyper 212x, a 5.5" DVD drive, an 2.5" ssd and a 3.5" hdd

I want a case that is about £40 - £60 that I can get cheap in the black Friday sales (it's kinda hard to find one that you can afford when your a student thats not old enough to get a job).

Good luck guys :)

If you plan to buy it on Black Friday, it's best to wait until Black Friday and see what's on sale.
We don't know any better than you what will be discounted, and it's sort of foolish to pick a case and hope it goes on sale if you're on a really tight budget.
