Case Choices
An often neglected part of building a computer is the case. Its the part that defines the look of your custom build PC, holds all the components in their place and importantly is responsible for a large chunk of getting rid of the stuff that kills computer parts - heat! Here at UK Gaming computers, we only use the best cases out there, which is unlike a lot of our competitors who we are increasingly seeing using cheap substandard cases. When choosing a case, we recommend you pick the best one that you can afford as it is one of the parts that you will probably reuse upgrade after upgrade.
It is also worth noting that because we are not tied to a specific brand/supplier we can provide you with exactly the case you wish. If you have seen something and want to incorporate it into your build or want to know what we think of it then please do feel free to get in contact with us.

Corsair Carbide 400RThe 400R has been carefully designed to provide a generous amount of internal volume, and it puts that volume to good use. There’s room for eight PCI-E cards of up to 316mm in length, and even room for a full 240mm radiator for compatibility with the Hydro Series H100 Liquid CPU Cooler and modular watercooling systems. Superior airflow is a requirement for high-performance components that will be regularly pushed to their limits, so the 400R has ten fan mounting points for cooling flexibility. Three 120mm fans — two in the front, and one in the rear — are included, so you’re ready to start building right out of the box. Support for USB 3.0 and 2.5” SSDs is built-in. Two USB 3.0 connectors are provided on the front panel and connect directly to motherboards with compatible USB 3.0 headers. Integrated SSD support lets you install 2.5” solid-state drives in any of the hard drive bays, without having to deal with adapters. The beauty on the inside goes beyond the black-painted interior. Corsair’s innovative cable management system provides a straightforward way to route cables behind the motherboard, not across it where it can interfere with airflow and give your system a cluttered look. And since looks are an important part of any build, you’ll appreciate the ability to turn the front panel fan white LEDs on or off with the push of a button. |

Corsair Obsidian 800DDesigned for Years of Performance. The Obsidian Series 800D is built to last through years of motherboard, power, memory, cooling, and component upgrades. The steel structure has a matte black coating both inside out and is finished with a brushed aluminum faceplate for a professional look that’s both serious and awe-inspiring. A windowed side panel makes it easy to show off your work.The power supply compartment, main compartment and the SATA bays each have dedicated cooling subsystems to prevent heat buildup. A dust-filtered 140mm fan draws in cold air at the bottom of the chassis and exhausts it at the rear and top. This clever design forces fresh air directly over the graphics card and CPU. The SATA hot-swap bays are cooled by a separate 140mm fan which vents from the chassis via a sealed chamber and prevents the heat generated by the drives from entering the main compartment. The power supply compartment has its own dedicated intake and exhaust, also isolated from the main compartment. Need even more cooling performance? The Obsidian Series 800D has pre-drilled support for top-mounted single, dual, and triple radiators, or up to three additional 120mm fans. |
