New Case, Suggestions please Options

[Shub0xx]

Good evening everyone,

I am currently in the hunt for a new case. Would love to get a full tower, but since I'm limited for space I'm restricted to a mid tower or smaller.

I currently have a Tt V9, but have had issues with it and don't want to use it for my next build.

Any suggestions as to what I look into???

If it's for your next build, what parts are you looking at for that build?

Also, what's your budget?

Not sure on both yet, so for the case let's say no more than $150-160.

I spent $1.5k on my last rig, but that was everything (monitor etc).

Well, I respect what R4N did.


Get a mini-itx mobo, (Zotac H55 is very nice), i5 750, decent gpu, Lian Li cube (space for up to 28cm of expansion cards), your set.

I know this may not be R4Ns exact build, but it's a very nice lanbox.

Using pccasegear.com for pricelists:
Intel Core i5 750 $245
Zotac H55-ITX WiFi H55ITX-A-E Mini-ITX Motherboard $198
Galaxy GeForce GTX 470 1280MB $429
Lian Li PC-V351 Black $161
Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5C (2x2GB) DDR2 $149
Corsair HX-650 Power Supply CMPSU-650HX $159
Migrate HDDs and Optical $Free
Total: $1346.00

You could get a much better price by shopping around, but that build is really small, 279mm x 262mm x 373cm.

Only thing is, I am not sure if that case takes full sized ATX power supplies, but as I have seen nothing to the contrary, I am assuming it does.
Also that case only has room for 2 harddrives and 2 opticals.
