Default How can I make this case more silent? [Lian-Li]
Thinking about buying this case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112218

Would like to make it more quiet as I'm thinking about using it as an HTPC for the living room.

Thanks.

Fill it with water.







Or.
You could use passive CPU cooling with larger and lower RPM fans.

Hmm... Just realized, this means I can keep my TT120 now! Yay. Think this case will be cramped with all of the things I have in it currently?

Also, what kind of sound dampening material?
