I Need A New Case What would You Recommend?

Hi All!

I'm looking for a new Case and I'm not sure what to go for? o.O I would like to have a clear panel on the side though and maybe some nice LEDs :) 

Colour? Any :) And Budget £100 

This is my current Case : BitFenix Colossus Venom Edition ;)

You can't go wrong with an NZXT S340, although you will need to purchase your own LED lighting for it

It depends what size motherboard you have. If you want RGB lighting I recommend just buying LED strips and fans and installing them yourself. :)

Deciding which case I should go with was the absolute hardest decision, and I wound up picking, and loving my Fractal R5. I got the windowless one both because I love simple and sleek, as well as having the option of removing a cover on the side panel to allow use of an extra intake/exhaust. 

 

I really, really wanted a case with a few external 5.25" bays. I used one bay for hotswapping/connecting an SSD and/or HDD (Both fit and can be connected at same time), and the other bay for media card reader with USB expansion.

 

I wanted the external storage bays so that I could still easily add extra drives, while allowing me to remove the cages at the front. I'm planning on getting a radiator at the front: you can see just how much space it has!

The meshify gets really good airflow. It has some of the best ambient temps I have ever seen in a case.

You have no idea how tempted I was to get a 1080 instead of waiting for the 1080 Ti. The anticipation for the pre-order borderline drove me insane. I try not to think about how much of a dent it put into my wallet. :{

Haha, I keep telling myself my Enthoo Pro M is close enough, but I still want the Meshify C

The Pro M is still a good case! The meshify does a little bit better air-flow wise than my 570x but I'd still take my 570x over it any day.
