Need advice on a case.

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for opinions on a new case. Here's some points to keep in mind:

- I'll be using an ATX Abit P35 Pro motherboard.
- I'll be using a PCP&C Silencer 610 (which is slightly longer than normal PSUs)
- I'd like aluminum.
- I'd like something small, I won't need much more than 1 optical, 2 HDDs
- I'd like something slick and low-key (Lian Li's are nice)
- Decent cooling, though I won't overclock much at all (if any)
- It'd be nice if it weren't terribly loud.

I've been looking at the Lian Li A-05B

But some people say they have problems with heat building up in the top corner above the video card. Except for this, it fits all my criteria above. Should I find some sort of slot fan and call it a done deal? Aren't those loud?
 
I think you should get the A05B. It has the issue you mentioned, but there are a few ways to tackle it. I just bought one a couple weeks ago and plan to cut a blowhole to alleviate the heat. This will reduce noise compared to a slot (leaf) blower. :p

This thread has a ton of reasons why you should get it: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1133290
