My current one is a bit battered, so need to get a new one, but dont want to spent alot of £££ on it.
Just found this one:

- Optional front I/O for USB and IEEE1394
- Support up to P5 Prescott 3.6G
- Optional 2nd fan for upgraded ventilation
- Excellent cooling system with room for expansion
- 2 new side venting areas dedicated for CPU and AGP in support of enhanced heat dissipation
- Full EMI features prevent radiation emission
- Friendly design for fast assembly/maintenance
- C-curve design enhances mechanical strength and eliminates sharp edges

Price: £34.50 (£40.54 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Only thing im worried about is cooling.
I currently have 4 x 8cm fans on my case, 2 at front, 2 at back. Dont think its possible on this one?
My current one is doing my head in, rattles and sounds like a jumbo jet taking off

Thats where i found the case Bart - on overclockers
That is a nice case, but i dont think i can transfer my PSU over to another case, or can i? Its only a 350w one, but dont fancy spending another £70ish on a new PSU, mine works fine as far as i know...........

I'm getting it more for necessity than looks......it's 617mm deep, which means it has a lot of space for decent airflow (unlike my current case, which overheats quite badly).
