Spec me a new case bumlords

The case I am currently using is old and crappy(about 4 years old now and only has two fans) and it tends to cause over heating problems unless I take the side off. Was wondering if any of you fine gentlemen had any recommendations or could point me to a decent reviews site? Can probably stretch to about £150 but cheaper is better with Christmas not far off. Cheers in advance.

You bothered about looks?

Antec 300, 900 900/2 or 1200 are all good high airflow cases. All ugly and blue. the 900/2 has dust filters and a revised design to the 900, the 300 is getting a bit small for current gen gpu's to fit.

Coolermaster HAF cases are lots of fans too. And yes, they too are ugly cases.

The coolermaster sileo is apparently a good low priced quiet case, but I'd imagine it's not especially quiet and gets hotter faster.

A spare £500 would get you this. I can't decide whether it's amazing or makes me mouth sick, so I'll just say it's awesome.*

*as in inspiring awe and not as in freakin' gnarly dude!

I can't tell if it's a PC case or a coffee machine.

That is quite odd looking, and i dont have 500 notes spare for it! Think im probably going to go with the antec 900 or 1200, cheers for the help

I'd suggest the 902 over the 900, it's a bit different in looks but the filters are something I wish for every time I end up hoovering inside my case because of the shit ton of dust.

But the 1200 if you can get it has more space and is what the 902 is based on, it's just plain better for that extra bit of money.

1200 is £119.93 on dabs, £119.96 on ebuyer, £139.99 on overclockers. Around £130 on amazon/novatech almost £140 on overclock.

The walkin of the dogs is finished? Any reason?

Lots of reasons, mostly because I`d had enough of the boss taking the piss, it was either leave or I would have lost my rag

with her and bitch slapped her around the kennels. Although that might have been fun, would have prob landed me in a whole heap of shit.

Ah well, no jobs really woth it if it causes that much rage. Unless it pays shitloads for no real work. You looking for a new one or being a doley over xmas?

Have been looking for work since I got out of the RAF, and still no joy. So I`ll prob be a doley for a while.
