NZXT LEXA or P150?

[Jacoby]

I would like to buy the LEXA + librety 400w or the P150 (that comes with neo 430w), and also it will work with HD2900XT \ 8800gts.. depends how it's the XT is gonna be.
what do you think is a better choice?

 

[Jacoby]

someone? please?

I think 400/430 watts is going to be really borderline. Theres alot more to consider than just the CPU and GPU, got ot also consider Everything else thats going to be in that case. both the P150 and NZXT will be good cases, it will come down to personal taste as there radicly differant when it comes to asthetics/style.

E6600
2gb@800mhz
320gb HD
8X00GT\S / HD2900XT

so what PSU should i take ?

I'd definitely go for something better than what comes in those 2 cases. Corsair 620W would give you a lot of headroom, so it's good for the price.

 

[Jacoby]

and what about the case? which of them is more quiet?

someone?

Get a P180 from Antec B stock and put the corsair PSU in it, the case is really quiet

 

[Jacoby]

Well I can't afford that, in my country it costs too much to pay for a total silent pc.
so I think i'm left with the lexa / p150.

P150 is much better, IMHO.

HD suspension, sound-insulating side panel, NeoHE power supply, stock 120mm TriCool fan ... provided you're not bothered by the white exterior, it's an immaculate case, and comes highly recommended from SilentPCReview.

I took some pictures of the P150 I gave my sister for christmas... link

The P150 is steel and the NZXT Lexa is aluminim and plastic (the front curve is all plastic).

But he has only 1 120mm. lexa got 3 120mm and 1 80mm.
so the temperatures should be lower on the lexa, or not?

I would go Lexa.

 

[Jacoby]

I really don't know what to do
I just want to buy the computer!

both choices will be a good choice if don't OC?

 

[Jacoby]

someone I know has the case (P150) and E6600 and on stock (no oc) the CPU gets to 42C and when playing to 55C.
and he added 2 92mm.
how is that possible? the P150 is that hot?

 

[SnakePlissken]

Personally i would go the P150 route.

Jacoby If you going to build a silent computer your build should start with the parts your going to put in it.

Also if your truly trying to go the silent computing route you may want to post a thread over at silentpcreview.

what is the CPU temp in u'r case?
I want a silent pc but i heard that lexa is quiet enough, and that is the question..

if the P150 isn't hot i'll take it.

 

[DarkStar02]

I had a Lexa and the front kinda felt flimsy. Never broke though.

I don't check my temps constantly. I checked them one time, and it was when i did the overclocking of the cpu currently in the machine, and at that time the temps read 35 no load 46 under load.

Bottom line their both good cases, and they both have their shortcomings. no case is perfect unless you build it yourself.
