Looking for a new case

[Aidy660]

hey guys, currently I am looking for a new case and having some trouble finding one I like. My current case is http://www.ebuyer.com/172779-casecom...-km-6788-black I got it back when it was like £12 or something, but recently I have noticed it getting rather hot at times (specially at night) when I play games. I have my eye on the Antec LanBoy Air http://www.ebuyer.com/236179-antec-l...761345-15004-0 mainly because of the look, I love the mesh look.

Can anyone recommend anything better(and or cheaper) than this? In the term of cable management, air flow and style (I dislike the cases with funny faces like the NZXT phantom). Thanks in advance

I'd personally recommend 2 cases, one of which i currently use. The Corsair obsidian 650D and the Corsair Vengeance C70.

Cable management is fantastic in both since they use very similar base bodies with some changes to the outside, they have plenty of room behind the actual innards for cable management with rubber gromits allowing you to thread cables through and the airflow is almost identical with fans on the top and either end.

The 650D is my current one, it's very sleek, professional looking and suits me great, but you might prefer the C70, it's more "meshy" and has a militaristic feel, it's available in white, military green and black.

Also, the C70 is closer in price to the antec, so I think that'll be a better choice for you!

If you get the Lanboy air you will be peeling layers of dust off it like a dryer.

If you have a micro motherboard then the NZXT vulcan is good. Its also a great lan party case.

the cooler master haf 912 isn't bad either if your wanting that mesh look on the front. In Win makes meshy type cases as well like the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811108236 or the mana http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811108409

I have seen reviews on the C70, but I don't really like the "ammo box" style, just a personal thing.. I guess I'm shallow.

Also I should have mentioned that its not for a micro board, its just the typical mid sized one.

I love my Silverstone Raven 02, I like the inverted motherboard and the airflow is amazing.

Corsair Carbide 300R, 400R or my personal favorite (and the one I own) the 500R
