Cabinets

Advantages: Great design, tool-less parts work, does everything it should
Disadvantages: Front vents clog with dust

I built my computer over a year ago, and decided to push the boat out a and spend a bit extra on a case. After reading some good reviews I chose to go with the Coolermaster Centurion 5 in blue, and am glad I did! I never really imagined the choice of case could make too much difference but this really is excellent. The design is simple and unassuming, yet somehow very classy, the brushed blue aluminium and blue LED's work well. Functionally it works ...
...fiddling with screws on expansion brackets (although the screw holes are there should you wish, but it is very secure) and the drive bay holding clips simply work, I transport the case a lot and have had no slippages. The case includes a rear 120mm fan, which is very quiet but very effective. My only problem is the front vents (surrounding the power buttons and in the empty drive bay holders) which contain a foam for stopping dust entering the system. ... Read review

Advantages: Small,Looks Good
Disadvantages: very small inside not enough room for full size graf card

Hiper Media Center Case: Bought this Case for me bedroom to go with my new television, The first thing I thought when I seen the case was how small it was looks similar to a DVD Player in size and you would not fink you could fit a pc in there. The Case its self is Black with a Small button in the centre of the case, this is the power button to turn the computer on. On the Right Side of the case there is a Plastic panel the size of the CD Drive ...
...a built in remote sensor, Hiper have soon fixed this with the latest model it has both LCD Screen and Remote sensor but it is double the price I bought this case for £55 from Ebuyer and it cost £15 for the Low Profile CPU Cooler and it cost £12 for the PCI Riser card these were both from XCase, all in all I would say that it is worth it if you want a very tidy media center pc in your living room, Well worth the money but you need to make sure you ...

Advantages: Plenty of access via the side panel, handy front USB & Firewire sockets
Disadvantages: Quite large and heavy

Strong and sturdy, with plenty of room to work inside, and conservative, understated looks, I would rate this as an excellent case for a gamer's PC. It's a little large, but that shouldn't put off the serious gamer. The only problem I've had is that the door on the front has broken off (a silly mistake on my part, nothing to do with the construction of the unit. I don't know if it would be possible to replace the side panel to display case mods/lighting, ... Read review

Advantages: Looks, size, motherboard tray removeable, no sharp bits.
Disadvantages: Price.

I brought this case from ebuyer, for £60, for my new build. When I first opened it, I was amazed, it is such a nice looking case, I brought the black one. It is very big, so there is a lot of room inside. Firstly, the case does NOT come with a user manual, however, you can download one from here: http://www.apevia.com/umanual/um-x-cruiser.pdf Useful to have... So, at the front of the case, you have these 3 dials, all back lit blue. There is a ...
...not sure whether there is any real point to this but anyway... There is a temperature dial, you can put the sensor anywhere within the case, to get the heat of the Heat sink, motherboard, graphics card, or just general temperatures, it is up to you. There other dial is the fan speed. 2 fans come with this case, and you can change the speed of the fans using a scroll button, to the side of the case. Also, on the front of the case, there are 2 blue ... Read review

Advantages: Great looks, well built, quiet, good display unit, built in IR Receiver
Disadvantages: Limited display options

Having only used budget cases to build your typical bog standard PC's before I was initially a little nervous at spending over £100 on a case. However I needn't have worried as this is well worth the money. The case is quite heavy and feels very sturdy, it does look a little on the chunky side but this size allows you to use a full size drive and expansion cards, if you choose a slimline case you will be more limited with the components you can ...
...smart with a bright blue display and (very bright) blue ring around the power button. The display can be customised to a limited extent through the included software to show a range of information including various system information, time and date, email status, local weather and news and media information (if using Media Centre or Win Amp). The rather large but tactile knob only controls volume and works fine with my system. The front panel also ... Read review
