OT - recommend me an new PC case....
I've had my new i7 machine up and running for a while now and I'm looking for a half decent case to stick it in
(it currently lives in a horible looking case I got new for £20 8+ years ago)
I'm after something quite big (needs to fit an GTX285 or similar, maybe even 2 of them later on)
Idealy I looking for one thats farily simple/plane and as solid as possible
it doesn't need a PSU with it as I've got one already
budget wise no more than £100 (alot less if possible)
I had my eye on one of these but they seem to be just about impossible to get at teh moment:

I got a cheap server case for my last one, but the nasty plastic door fell off the front and it looks horible 
any ideas?

any of the Eltec series will do the job,one of the case has it so the hard drives push in from the side rather then squeeze them over the mother
board from behind..
why do you want 2 gtx 285 gcards

I've got 1 285 at the moment (it huge! thats why I could do with the space)
I'm not wanting another at the moment, but you never know what'll happen in a couple of years time

I had a brushed aluminium Lian-Li PC7 case, still have it somewhere
cost maybe 80 quid back in 99, best case i ever had, huge inside, no tools needed to assemble the unit. Awesome

Silverstone - best cooling capacity of many, not cheap but then you should get what you want for £100.
Best place is probably HERE

I have a Thermaltake Kandalf LCS.
It comes with a water cooling system too!
Mine is an i7 system @ 4gz  also have a GTX280 which fits no problems.

I like the Antec cases for cheapish hooj cases with decent cooling.

Lian Li make the best cases for the money.
I have a PC7 case too, and they still make them, which has more than enough space and cooling to deal with the most powerful system

Absolutely agree, but they can be a lot of money, my main machine lives in a PC343, almost perfect for me, but silly money.
Also, that's reminded me Lancool are Lian Li's budget line, might be worth a look.
