Good used marketplace?

[Craig855S]

Hey all, does anyone know any good UK based computer forums with a good marketplace section (or a forum specifically for selling used bits)

 

I'm looking for a decent case for my computer but am not exactly spoilt for choice on ebay. And brand new the kind of cases I want are over £100 which i cant justify (I could justify £70, even with some wear and tear marks on em)

 

Cases Im looking at are Corsair C70 vengeance in green and the Corsair 600T (ideally white)

Oh and before someone mentions it I am aware that there is a 600T in white on ebay ending soon, im all over it but the odds are its going to skyrocket over budget

i use a.c70 and i can says its an utterly fantastic case and well worth every penny. extremely good.build quality as well. but i wouldnt bother with it unless u got.high end components that need all the cable management and cooling that the c70 offers

 

id recomend something like an antec 900. they can be had for about 40quid second hand nowadays and they too are very very good cases.....everything antec is good quality

TBH the looks are a factor, and I would be putting good components in there, along with being festidious about tucking the cables away and lighting it up

Sorry if your not looking for case recommendations but I've just built two new PCs in these:

Coolermaster Elite 330 - Basic i3 based office PC for my new company:

Although the cable management looks poor, there was plenty of room behind the motherboard mount to tuck away all the cables, plus I used a modular PSU to cut down on the unnecessary crap.

- I've built a PC with one before, returning customer! - I'm not a fan of those "Terminator" style gaming cases...

 

Coolermaster Elite 120 - i5 based bedroom HTPC/Mini gaming PC:

Probably the most amazingly versatile, full size component ITX case... period!

(fits ITX motherboard and slim CPU cooler... but every other component is full size including full size gaming GPUs!)

 

- As you can tell, I like Coolermaster cases... They literally think of everything and they cost around 50% less than run-of-the-mill gaming cases.
