Windowed case suggestions up to £80

[Elliot B.]

Hardware:

• 6700K (with slight overclock)
• Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler (quite large)
• Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme (one of the physically largest GPUs)
• 3x HDDs
• 1x SSD

Current case:

A mid tower Cooler Master HAF 922 from 2009.

 

It's rough dimensions are W25.5 x H50 x D56 cm.

 

Due to the size of the GPU and CPU cooler, I don't want the new case to be any smaller than this.

 

Any suggestions?

[Elliot B.]

Right, I've limited it down.

 

My three requirements:

 

1. Similar depth of my current case (the GPU only just about fits into this case, much smaller and it won't fit)
2. A side window
3. Up to £100

I like the FractalDesign series. But I did own a few HAF cases years ago.

 

Cases are 100% personal preference. Something that looks good to me, would look bad to you...

That is the case I have now.

 

I was inspired by a YouTube video -- How to build a PC.

 

Maybe this:

Hello,

 

The last three cases I bought were a Fractal Design Define R5 and two Define R4s.  No windows, though. 

 

I'm not sure about pricing (including VAT and shipping) in your part of the world, but if you are in their price range I would recommend them.

 

Regards,
