The ports on the back dont line up with the ports on the case pictures ive seen. I included a picture in my original post. :P

all you have to do is take the I/O shield out of your old case and transfer it over to the new case.

This Case is the P160....It's a super case, loads of space, 2x 120mm fans (1 included)
Like the P180 is uses a HDD cage...the HDDs are cooled well and noise is a minimum....If/when you decide to watercool you can fit all you need in here ;)
I use the same one, except no side window

It costs 110euro....that's ~£65...A bit over your 50 budget but well worth it.....A good case will last 2-3 system upgrades....Just like a monitor....pay now save later!!!
