Case recomendation? Functionality over looks

[KevinUK]

Hi, I'm after a new PC but I can get tips on other posts apart from the case

I will buy a PSU seperatly as I want a posh extremely silent one

As mine sits under the desk and cant be seen I'm just after a functional case. I want this PC to be silent and have some usb on the front too. A midi ATX case is fine.

There are plenty to choose from on dabs but the pics are too small to see them!

I'm also not bothered on see through panels etc, im guessing being see through they dont dampen the noise levels down either?

One thing im not keen on though is having a door covering access to the dvd drives. Finally, if theres no access for a floppy drive I'm not bothered cos I wont be adding one!

Thanks!

I have a chieftec dragon. Good quality/plenty space, well designed inside. Quite nice, but heavy (solid) and lots of case vents - so no muffling of internal noise.

I've changed my mind, I'll go for one with a door probably this one:

Anything PC Pro likes, I like.

Coolermaster do good cases. This one may suit, it's a smaller version of the stacker, and can be found for ~£40.

Nice looking - very minimal

Rediculous case time \o/

Thermaltake Aluminium cases the new Armor VA8000 model, fair enough retails at £116.33 from Xcase.co.uk
thermaltake link here
its one of the newer cases that advertises "Totally Fanless thermal system" and is BTX compatable with the upgrade kit, so you can keep the case for the next few years

Not extreme examples but works fine for me... I particularly like the case for accessibility etc etc ...
