This is actually the first case that wasn't pre-modded for me. Really like how it turned out, glad I went ahead and bought the red cath, because it just doesn't look right with just the blue on. Love how silent it is :D

With the acoustipack sound insulation liners and fan controllers, it sounds to me like you are trying to quiet your computer.

I see three more noise sources though:

1) The notorious Asus A8N-SLI Northbridge fan. That eggbeater runs at an INSANE 8000rpm. It's probably half of the noise coming from your computer. :laugh:

2) The vid card fan. I see you got a stock cooler on it, and there is no such thing as a quiet stock vid card cooler.

3) Whatever your PSU is, it's not as quiet as a Seasonic. :D

HTH.

LOL, that's because their noise is being drowned out by the other three eggbeaters I pointed out earlier. :laugh:

1. I'll be replacing that next

2. I'll get some VGA Silencer's when I get 2x6600GTs

3. My PSU is actually really quiet. It's a Forton Blue Storm.

1. good.

2. good.

3. Read Silent PC Review's review of the Blue Storm. more than 10 decibels louder (remember it's logarithmic) than the Seasonic Super Tornado throughout its operating range. Just so that you would know where the noise is coming from once you have eliminated all your other noise sources. :p
