    Need a quiet case for the new build

    Have you had a look at the Obsidian 550D? It sounds like what you would want - if it's too small maybe have a look at the 650D?

    Fan setup in Obsidian 550D

    Yeah that's why I like it, because if you don't have the same setup for every fan they're impossible to compare in any meaningful way. I also think the side fan gives a bigger benefit in terms of temperatures than the top fan, since then you would be putting air directly where it's needed...

    The absolute best case for silent PC build.

    Have you looked at the Silverstone FT02? Not sure how it does on clearance though, but it certainly is a big case.

    Fan setup in Obsidian 550D

    Got some input on the side fan situation. Apparently there is space on the bottom mount for a fan, but not the top one. So maybe I can put one fan on the bottom side (my GPU will presumably be happy) and one on the bottom mount. Because as you say, it's not so important that it's silent when...

    Fan setup in Obsidian 550D

    Fan setup in Obsidian 550D

    So I'm planning on building an Ivy Bridge and GTX680 setup in this case in the near future. The plan is to upgrade to SLI sometime later if necessary, but for now I will have just the single card. I was hoping to do some overclocking, and to that end I'm going to buy a Noctua NH-D14 for the CPU...

    Corsair Obsidian 550d?

    I was thinking of getting this case and putting in two Thermalright TY-140 fans in. My thought was to put them in the side door (following http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/02/10/the-big-cooling-investigation/1) but probably experiment a bit. Has anyone tried playing with fan placement...
