Ahh. I can't find my...

I can't find my dream case. :frown:

Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

I want...
- a quiet case, I'm sleeping right next to it.
- stylish, nothing bland and boring
- a window is optional, although I'd really like one, but if not I'd like a place where some LED's can shine through
- Standard ATX
- good ventilation/cooling
- as far as drive bays, I'm building a new system so I will accomadate it after I find my case

Any ideas for a quiet power supply?


Thanks for all the help!

Word of advice, build your own. You will never find the perfect case, it wont happen.

I'd like something thats

-aluminum (Extra Thick or foam the perfectly covers the inside)
-1x120mm in the back
-2x80 going or the HDs

Obligatory Kingwin 424 series recommendation. See review at: http://www.extremetech.com .
Ditto Antec SLK3700AMB/Compucase 6A19 . See http://www.coolcases.com .

Check out the Asus A600A case. I have one, looks classy yet sharp.

Kingwin 424 is one case I don't have, but wouldn't mind owning.

Any of the Antec cases with 120mm fans. I own one similar to the 3700AMB (same chassis, different front and brand). Very nice.

Power supplies...

Antec Truepower are nice. Fortrans with 120mm fan are nice. I've owned both. A+GPB 420W Titanium is nice. Haven't owned one, but two friends do and it is near silent, plus really nice looking.

How about the Antec P-160WF
P-160WF @ Newegg
Its great with 2*120mm fans

Also, the PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510 Deluxe is very silent, cant hear it over my Raptors.

Hey Zap,
. Didn't you mean the AOpen A600A. And it is another good choice. Directron has the silver version at a crazy low price.

someone's got a fanless power supply comming out, or already out. i can't remember who it is for the life of me tho. the whole outer casing looks like one big heatsink, with the coils all around. i haven't heard any reviews yet for it tho, so i can't really suggest it to you.

 

[Zepper]

Yeah, it's already out and costs ~ $150... SVC.com has it - I think it's a Coolmax.
