Hi Guys,
I intend to build a new computer when Vista comes out and I am doing some component research at the moment. I absolutely hate overly noisy computers, so what I really want to have, to somewhat minimize sound annoyance, is a low noise computer case. After reading some reviews I stumbled across the Lian Li PC-S80, a beautiful case built with acoustics in mind. Now, what I am wondering, is there anyone on this forum that actually has this case? I can easily find some (semi-)professional reviews on the net, but it's hard to find user reviews; seems the case is not that well known.
What I want to know:
-How's the airflow?
-How quiet is the case?
-Is it possible to replace the built-in fans?
-Will an 8800GTX fit in this case?
The reason I'm asking these questions, even after reading all the reviews, is that the reviews are not conclusive. Some say that the case airflow is fine, some say it's not very good. And still no answers to the fan and 8800GTX questions.
