    can't asses bios screen on new build.

    Anything a little less 'gamey' looking? I'm looking for something with a see through side panel and without the crazy aesthetic of gaming cases. Something like a zalman z5. Thank you for once more!

    budget build (help out a tech-idiot)

    Went ahead and tried to configure my own build. Just need some confirmation that it will all work! And a case suggestion to fit it all in would be nice (the cheapest possible). http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3vgq4 £
