I now have the CPU (E8400) which I want to OC to at least 3.8Gigs, the motherboard (Gigabyte X48-DS4) and 2 Rams 4 Gigs of the G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ, which will eventually go to 8Gigs. It will have 4 HD all SATA's and 2 SATA DVD Burners Now I am having trouble picking the case. I want a case that Keep it queit and Cool. Any Suggestions?

My case is pretty quiet and it has a lot of options for watercooling equipment. Its on wheels so its easy to move + perforated side panels which is a nice touch.

Go for the Thermaltake Armor. It's a great case and has great airflow.

not necessairly. you can get "neutered" water (forgotten the name of it), so it it does leak, nothing shorts out.



on topic - My case is very good for cpu airflow with a fan on top of the cooler and an exhaust right next to it to get alot of low pressure in there. that was a bit of an oxymoron...

If you dont like the signatures that go as follows "*insert high percentage here* of people have *insert random verb.* If you are part of the *enter low percentage that adds up to 100 with previous percentage* that *insert the antonym of the verb used previously* then put this in your signature" then put this in your signature!!!
