Fractal Design 2300

[xavu]

Hey guys, this is my first forum post and hopefully one of many to come (and hopefully not at the same time)

 

I was wondering if this case is the best I could get for my money as looking at it, it seems like a pretty solid buy. It's £40 here in the UK ($50) and out of the many cases I've viewed at this price range (£50 max) it seems like the best option to be honest. It has 2 pre installed fans, dust filters (although I don't know how good they are), has 7 fan areas, pretty lengthy and can fit pretty much every graphics card you put into it (380mm), and has a pretty sleek design. I'm not looking for appearance, all I care for is that my parts will have cool airflow and that the build quality of the case will last me. If this isn't the best option here, then please recommend one that is please 

 

Thanks.

Hmm, seems like a solid case, although it has the same pretty much the same specs as the 2300 so I'm not quite sure if it's worth the extra money. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Which one do you mean? The Lite version or just the normal one?

Both are fine but I was thinking about the lite.The S340 is only 65 though so that might be a better choice

Hmm, the Masterbox lite is definitely an attractive case with its see through glossiness and also has a large place to work in but I'm not sure if it's better than the 2300 practicality wise. The back of it has no openings so cable management would be pretty hard whilst the 2300 has this. I'm not quite sure if the looks will win me on this one. On the other hand, the S340 seems pretty nice, it has cable management options, and has 2 fans plus it's extremely nice to look at. I'll spend some more time to think about this but thanks!
