Hey I've been looking at these cases to hopefully go with an i7 and either h50 or megahelms (i know i've spelt that wrong but hopefully you know what I mean!) and then probably something like a 5770 and a corsair psu.
I'm basically at a loss to which one to choose or if theres a better option thats very quiet?
cheers for any advice you can give! xx

For what kind PC?
Basic gaming PC or high end graphics card and lot of drives and everything?

As very affordably priced option there's Fractal Design R2.
From more expensive/bigger cases few Lian Lis have equally silencing friendly design after installing combination dampening mats.

And that heatsink name can't be so hard to remember, you should really practise remembering such simple names... Babylon 5 creator's name Joseph Michael Straczynski is good for practising memory.

Mostly CAD stuff I'd say, probably only 2 drives.
Ill have a look into Lian Li

And Ill definitely work on my memory skills lmao

thanks xx

My P193 is very quiet, yes, but certainly not silent. It sits in the living room and doesn't interfere with my other half's evening tv viewing! But it does cool fantastically well.

I get the impression the OP would be safer buying a pre-built system.

i have a p190 and would only change it for a 800d.

i love my p190 and as people have said it is superb at cooling,load's of space and different chambers to keep heat separate.

ive had mine 2 years and cant see me changing it for a long time.

It is helpful if it saves you several months rma time and hundreds of quid in stuff you might ruin.
