FN-FORUM: [OFFLIST] Computer Cases

date posted 1st September 2003 20:28

Hi Adam

This is what I do all day for a living so I might be able to help ( and no
I'm not out to sell you anything :D ) It all depends on how much you want
to spend on a case to be honest. Cases start from about £35 and go up from
there. These days most cases have the same inside chassis, such as
coolermaster and thermaltake for example.

If you have £50 spare then I can really recommend the Coolermaster centurion
(www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop) as it's had loads of good reviews, very easy
to work on and would suite the spec that you have down to a T.

If i can help any more then please let me know

Cheers
Mark
