Hi everyone, new to the site. Looking to build a PC grow case.

Having some trouble finding the right case though, after looking for ages, the best case I could find is this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133145

Dimensions are : 19.5" x 8.3" x 18.9" (H X W X D)
It can be locked and has 3 fans. 1 exhaust at the rear, and 2 intake's at the side and front.
Is this case ok? Do you know any better cases? (budget of £60 & only UK sites please)
Oh and I plan on growing smallish strains only.

Thanks for any help
:bigjoint:
 
i'd personally try and scrape together a little more money and get somehting like an akasa infiniti etc (although it's not much bigger). you really want to be looking at full tower chasis. i've tinkered with thermaltake cases and they are not as large as they look in pictures. after you add bulbs and pots you'd have very little growth room.

if you can find a Chieftec Dragon DAO1-BLD Full tower case then that would be perfect, althouhg i believe they area discontinued product (not even sure if chieftec still exist)

looks like the one :) i'm not familiar with it's actual depth, but the extra height should allow for some good growth. just grab yourself some tin snips or similar and gut that sucker out :) i think i'd be opting for omething like that if i went that small and stealth. there are certainly better available, but not at the price they demand :) let us know what you go with
 
google this Chieftec Dragon Series DX-01B-D-U-OP thats my one mate if ur intrested
