Whats the best cool/quiet case?

[Stiler]

Please suggest somthing besides a li, i am not rich, have not much money, something i could get for at least under 100 maybe...
Want it to be able to keep everything cool and be on the quiet side, i'm going to o'c my processor and such so i need it cool.

I suggest you purchase a CHIEFTEC Server Chasis (Workstation Tower) Model DX-01WD-300W; AMD Approved Power Supply from newegg for $59, $77 shipped (unless you live in CA, where you pay our 8.25% tax)

and then purchase 4 panaflo l1as from bgmicro (scroll to very bottom) at $3.19 each, or $18.76 shipped (unless you live in texas, you pay ur state tax)


18.76 + 77=$95.76 shipped total

Panaflos will be quiet and at 24 cfm will provide decent airflow, YOU WILL be impressed by the case (unless youve worked with lian li/enermax cases before)

can i get it cheaper somehow by not getting a psu? i already have a enermal 500w psu with a ball bearing fan.

Buy the Antec SX1000 here, and 4 Panalfo L1A's at BGMICRO and you'll be all set. Come to think of it, I think it's cheaper buying 5 Panaflos, but others will know for sure.

That Antec SX1000 at www.provantage.com is a steal at $37.90.

I've bought and used the Antec SX600 several times, and they have been very good for $36.54.

* note shipping will add to the cost.. but provantage uses Ingram Micro as their fulfillment house.. so shipping is fast if you live near one of the 8 regional distribution centers.
