hola, I just felt like putting my computer in an HTPC case and put it next to the TV and play some racing games on it. so I'm going to do that...
I want a black or silver one that can fit my 9800GT with a zalman VF900-Cu cooler on it.
max price 200euros (am in Sweden so europe would be much prefered)
no LEDs or anything, just a clean case that has got a nice display that I can see my music playing on.
suppose there is no remote control bundled with any case so I guess I could use one of those too? a nice looking one that can change song, mute and raise/lower volume
comp specs are
Q6600 with stock cooler
p5k-premium black pearl stuffstuff...
4 harddrives
2 pci-cards (network + soundcard)
the longest card is the graphics card which is .. 9 inches I believe?
normal atx psu (ocz nonmodular stealthstream or something)
going to have only one optical drive, not bought yet but just one. bluray most likely.
but, my main concerns are that every single one of them have these superugly brushed alu fronts... in my price range
and that I want to build it as silent as possible, which I basically have no idea what to do to achieve that. some isolating materials and silent case fans I suppose? my current case fans are horribly loud and I'm getting sick of that. rubber hangings for the harddrive any good? anyway, I just want some directions on how to make a silent case that doesn't make my computer burn.
not very picky about performance and airflow as long as it meets my criteria above
I apologize for my messy writing but I'm tired and hungry, and thanks in advance!
