Default Antec 902 alternatives....? - 12-24-2009, 20:54 | posts: 7 | Location: Essex

So im looking to upgrade my case fairly soon, and the best case that i have found within my budget is the antec 902, but even that is stretching it a little, so i just thought i would see what useful suggestions the guru3d community could suggest to me Maybe just a big case with room to add another 4 or 5 120mm fans

Cant afford to spend more than £90, and having a psu in it or not does not matter

would like some sort of cable management in the case but if the price is significantly lower than the antec 902 im sure i can invest in some cable ties

thanks for reading all, look forward to reading your suggestions

one last thing, from uk sites please, or at least sites that ship to the uk for a decent price

There's the CM690:



Or the Centurion 590:

I built a rig with the Centurion590. Really good features for such a low price. Really good airflow and fan grilles everywhere. A little hard to find in stores though.

over here in australia, the cm haf 922 and the thermaltake v9 black edition are both cheaper than the antec 902 and should provide similar if not better cooling. try to see what the prices of those two cases are in your area.
