A superb piece of case engineering that costs a lot, but suits top end PCs to a tee.

But if you want the best, you’re going to have to pay for it. At $190, the Antec P182 is expensive, but it’s such a superb piece of engineering that we’d go for it every time. Unlike most cases, the interior is divided into compartments, so the power supply sits in its own enclosed section to reduce the amount of heat spread to the other components.

The cables snake up through an adjustable opening into the main section, where you’ll find a removable caddy for three hard disks with a three-speed fan at the front. Another fan can be placed at the rear or in the top of the case. The P182 is quite bit bigger than the other cases here, and you’ll need a power supply with long cables to reach the motherboard, but its innovative design is perfect for top-end PCs.

 I teamed this up with the Corsair Hx620w and a Radeon 4870 for a cheap powerful abd quiet PC. Awesome case.

Satisfyingly clear audio from a relatively cheap pair of closed ear headphones. The Plantronics GameCon headset gets our seal of approval
