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.

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.

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.

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
Issue the orders Sir, and I will storm Hell. |

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.
