Looking for a case + heatsink/fan for $150-200

[assassinmunky]

Hey guys,

Just looking if i can get some recommendations on a new case and heatsink+fan.

I prefer QUIETER than cooler and i dont want to spend more than $200(maybe including PS)

i was looking at the antec sonata III... is that a good quiet case?

any other recommendations?

thanks,
Assassinmunky

For $200 you could get an Antec P182 and a Tuniq Tower - then you would have quiet AND cool. No power supply though.

hmm... looks good, is it really quiet? looks like it has a lot of fans...

any other suggestions? is the huge zalman fan better than the tuniq or no?

The Antec cases are generally made for quiet, especially the P180/182.

For a ton of info check out silentpcreview -

I would take the Tuniq or a Thermalright cooler over the Zalman any day.

One of the best cases out is this bad boy, I own it and can say hands down its the best case ive had. Check around for prices tho.
