best UK-available cheap mATX case customer builds?

[d3v]

Hi all.

Wondering if there's a good quality mATX case available in the UK preferably under £15-£20 as they will be for general low-end customer builds.

ditto this request for the US. Something in the range of $20-30

Coolermaster do a brilliant, I think it is the 442, it is very very well made, they are about £23 though and don't include a PSU, but you shouldn't be selling anything that costs £20 with a built in PSU anyway as they are potential fire hazards.

best UK suppliers in my opinion - Scan.co.uk, Aria.co.uk, microdirect.co.uk and cclonline.com

first 3 are Manchester and Bolton.
CCL are in Bradford.

I've built a budget machine with this, and was extremely impressed with the build quality, they have put the price up to £26 though

The finished PC, though just a basic 775 system (re-using the customers old CPU) felt like an extremely high quality product.

Bluepoint Have some good quality cases starting from £7.00 up, You will need to sine up for an account to see the prices but it is well worth it I get 90% of my part from them and if you have a chat with them you can get some good discounts.

Hey thanks for letting me know about Bluepoint. They have some seriously good stuff for sale. I've just submitted an application to join them, hopefully they will accept!

I intend to build low-end socket 775 machines, with FSP/Corsair power supplies marketed as affordable, reliable long-lasting office/home machines.

Yeah just edited my last post before noticing your one.
Glad I posted this thread as I think I'm on to a winner with these guys.
What you doing up 3am anyway, lol.

What is the point on Bluepoint and the song and dance of creating a huge registration form with them? After using them to price different builds over the past week they are only pennies cheaper than everywhere else

You should give them a call, you will get a good discount on parts.
up at 3am to cope with the workload.
