NZXT unveils its Feature-rich Beta Chassis
NZXT is known for its affordable, yet nicely featured chassis and the new offering from the manufacturer is no different. The new Beta mid-tower case is priced around the €50 mark but boasts of features that would do any gamer proud.Weighing 7.28kg with dimensions of 200mm x 430mm x 500mm, the NZXT Beta can accommodate five 3.5in hard drives and four 5.25in drives. There is also space for a 10.5in graphics card, with USB, eSATA and audio jacks on top. The seven expansion slots on the black painted chassis provide lot of room for upgrades.
For cooling, the case has a 120mm blue LED intake fan on the front and room for one 120mm rear and two 120mm side exhausts. The mid-tower case can accommodate standard ATX motherboards and PSUs. Pre-drilled holes have also been provided for easy setup of water-based coolers.
The meshed backplates and front panel give the chassis a simple yet appealing design. While the case has none of the styling hype of costlier cases, its features do not fall short in any manner and should easily meet expectations of most gamers. The Beta is likely to become available from 12th June and will sport an extremely affordable and attractive price tag of €49.90.

Re-read the post and that should answer your question. :/
What made the cases 'not adequate'? Was it just size or features etc?
Cos if you've got size restrictions you may as well just go grab a PC8.
