But that involves ordering from OCUK. And I for one have sworn never to use them again. They are ****ing shocking.

Try these guys for pre-modded cases - http://www.planetmicro.co.uk/results_subcat.asp?subcat=163&sort=az&title=Modded%20Cases

If you order from the first link I gave u, the guys at CPU City are very good. Infact Mani pointed me their way. Always good customer service. At OCUK customer service is unheard of.

This is the case i bought not that long ago, very good indeed.

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=44356

Quickfind code: 44356 on ebuyer.com

Full tower antec case, large for extra airflow, only £50, comes with two fans at the back, space for two on the front, one cooling your HDs, and one on the side. 5 case fan holes, two supplied. I got this case mainly for the cooling.

with that mate what fans does it take? from what i can tell

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=3113136351&action=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3BhZ2U=&subcat_uid=439

this url has some Antec(probably best to get same design as case?) and has 3 fans which are 80mm:

Antec Cooling Fan 80mm Orange Uv
Antec Cooling Fan 80mm Blue LED
Antec 80mm Blue UV Cooling Fan

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=3113136351&action=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3BhZ2U=&subcat_uid=439

the holes itself are that size i take it from: 5 fan mounts for 80mm case and HDD fans

update are they also easy to fix? dont wanna pay shitloads of cash for some person to do this for me when i only need the mobo put in

You can have any 80mm fans. I had this one on the window to light up my case, real cheap, 43059. Then i had two of these at the front: 54153.

It comes with two fans at the back sucking air out, then three 80mm holes for extra fans for you to add. One at the side, and two at the front. One of the fans at the front blows air on your HDs.

It's pretty easy to setup. It doesn't come with a PSU so you have to screw that in yourself. All the fans just click in, no screws needed. The HD and floppy disk sections just pull out, so you can screw your HDs, etc. in and then just click the mount back into place. The optical drives at the top slide in and out easily, so you can change them quickly. It comes with two USB on the front, two on the back, plus whatever your motherboards got. It's got firewire ports, etc.

Plus it comes with this overclockers tool which you can screw on the back next to your PCI slots if you want it which checks what's failing to start your PC if you're overclocking and need to know why it's not starting. It's a series of lights, so you plug it into your motherboard and it'll flash like three times if it's a RAM problem, twice if CPU, etc.

If you've got any other questions just let me know, the case is sitting right next to me so i can have a look and tell you anything you want about it.

Personlay i like this one

http://www.extremepcs.co.uk/DYNAMIC/itemdesc.asp?ic=561306&eq=&Tp=

but the fact that it doesnt come with a PSU is a bit of a bummer since spending £80 on a case to then spend another £40 on a halfway decent silent 450w powersupply is pritty gay!



Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

You don't need to spend alot of money on a PSU tbh. I spent £15 on an ebuyer one and it's ran fine for months *touch wood*, and my PC's on 24/7.
