Hey all

I am considering building a computer dedicated to my music hobby.. I run GigaStudio w/ an Audiophile 2496 card. So I'm looking for a pretty basic case, mid-tower.. but it has to have RFI/EMI shielding to cut down on noise the sound card might pick up. Any suggestions? I probably won't be upgrading this machine too much really, since it's only doing one thing.. so no need for fancy cases w/ easy-access mb trays & such.

Thanks!

I would imagine a run-of-the-mill steel case would do the job fine. I think EMI shielding has more to do with keeping the EMI inside the case, rather than keeping EMI out of the case, but if you want some cases to consider, Antec 660AMG or SX630II, Enlight 7237 and In-win S-series are all designed with EMI clips to cut down lengthy gaps into shorter segments. I vote for the Antecs if you have multiple hard drives that you would like to cool, since the Antecs have a HDD bay with a holder for an 80mm cooling fan.

Cool, thanks! What's a good place to buy cases? I'm looking for a wide variety to choose from...
