Good Cheap Pc Case?

Looking to get a bigger case for my slimline dell 5150c. This is so i can put a GeForce 8600gt in it!!!





Needs to have 400watts or 400watts+ power supply.

You will need BTX compatible case, as the 5150C has pic-BTX motherboard.


A BTX specification case evidently will not accommodate the 8600GT, so you may need a case which meets both BTX and ATX specifications - so that's cheap pretty much ruled out.


http://www.scan.co.uk/ have one: 拢175 without PSU


which brings us on to the next problem - an upgraded PSU...


I would recommend a Tagan unit but Scan have a few others.


So, not much change from 拢240, plus the price of the 8600GT - sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but better now than later!





[Edit] Just a thought! Try Dell - at least some of their 5150/5150C machines appear to be capable of taking full sized cards. You might then need specifically a BTX PSU - that's Dell again, then...Good Cheap Pc Case?
try yoyotech or scan or ocuk
i got an icute with a big honking fan in the front, its a damn good case and it only cost me about 拢30.
