| 829886 | 2009-11-17 11:55:00 | What about the CM690? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 829887 | 2009-11-18 00:41:00 | If your going to go with Lian Li these (www.computerlounge.co.nz) look awesome. +1 for the CM690 (www.computerlounge.co.nz), although admittedly mines far from quiet with 7 case fans. |

| 829888 | 2009-11-18 04:50:00 | CM690 has my vote too. $160 is hard to beat for a case with that many features. Noise shouldn't be a problem if you buy low RPM fans. Spend a bit of money on these and you should be rewarded with a cold case and hopefully you won't be deafened each time you turn it on. |

| 829889 | 2009-11-18 05:23:00 | CM690 +1 I have one and it is a good case with good air flow and all your connection options on top of the case for easy access. Plenty of room for upgrades. |

| 829890 | 2009-11-18 05:52:00 | Antec Sonata is extremely quiet (with or without PSU). Really like mine. | ephesus (2509) | ||
| 829891 | 2009-11-18 06:42:00 | CM690 and LL-PC-K62B look to be great cases, but both a bit tall for the space I have (ideally up to 460mm). Perhaps I will have to break out the saw.... | Grimy (3041) | ||
| 829892 | 2009-11-28 02:47:00 | Still leaning towards this www.computerlounge.co.nz |

| 829893 | 2009-12-02 07:54:00 | Okay, I've bought the LIAN-LI PC-A05NB. Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate them. I'll let you know if I made the right choice (is there ever a really right/wrong choice?) once I've got it all together (which could be a while-still buying the other bits and pieces). Don't worry, if I've stuffed up I will confess!! |

| 829894 | 2009-12-02 08:26:00 | Curiosity only, here. There is mention above of 5" & 7" case fans. Why would these be needed? My Metla built only has the PSU fan & the CPU fan, but it does not overheat. The case fan would not take the place of th CPU fan would it? Thanks PJ :help: |

My Metla built only has the PSU fan & the CPU fan, but it does not overheat. The case fan would not take the place of th CPU fan would it? Thanks PJ :help: Its all about moving heat outside the case, cooler air inside the case lowers the temperature of of everything. Higher end rigs generally generate a lot more heat mainstream rigs. High end power hungry Graphics cards, possible overclock on the processor (I7's Quads run hotter than AMD x2's for example), multiple hard drives etc all generating heat. If your overclocking especially you want good airflow, the cooler the better. Most new cases run 120mm+ fans, although big they spin slowly so there is much lower noise than the older cases with the smaller faster RPM fans. |
