guys........

I just bought an Antec Overture for my future HTPC but I didn`t realize till now that a lot of reviews reports temperature around 70C full load!

I guess I'm taking it back, am i?
 
yeah, :(

Well I don`t want to run that hot though! Problem is this: if I get a Silverstone LC03, then the whole case, PSu combo will cost me nearly $400CAN! That is an insane price!

I don`t know what to do :(
 
If you're ok with a slightly larger case... I really like my coolermaster cavalier.

It supports full ATX motherboards, and is virtually silent - I only run the PSU fine. My temps with an Athlon XP 1700+ are just fine. Tbred A, so it runs a bit warm anyway. My load temp is about 47 degrees with a 800 rpm 80mm fan on an alpha pal8045.
 
I use the Coolermaster ATC620 and the PCtoys SimpleMax. Can't give temps ont he coolermaster. Iloaned it to a friend and can't remeber the averages off the top of my head. The Simple Max runs in the low 40's. One note on the simplemax though,it uses a smaller PSU and it is not very deep. Sits nicely in my rack, but will not accept some of the newer vid cards because of size. It fits my 9600 just fine though.
