Cheap Full Tower Case

Does anyone know of anywhere to get cases cheaper than ebuyer (in the UK)??
On ebuyer the cheapest one is about £30.
I've tried dabs and a few other places.

Why do you want such a cheap and nasty case.
The PSU will brobably be rubbish and nothing will fit right.

I think www.staktrading.co.uk do cheap cases that are ok

Although id save up some extra cash and buy an antec.

I bought a generic cheap Mid a year ago. I had the parts, but didn't have the box. I gotta tell ya, cheap cases have a serious impact on your PC building pleasure.

Blood? Guaranteed. Yeah, your's. The front panel nor the top of the case could be removed. Extra challenge, what? PCI cards lined up beautifully with the back of the case. In a parallel universe, perhaps. Not in this one. Hacksaw and metal files were necessary.

All in all, a lesson that cheap cases require an extra day of unpleasant labor before you can button them up and hit the Power button.

The best thing about that case was hearing it rattle down the garbage chute. The Dumpster ten floors down was empty. A most satisfying crash!
