Case for a 3700 XP possible SLI

[Loosecannon]

Hi,

After help in the other parts of the forum now looks like i will be getting the following:

3700 XP with retail fan
Asus SLI motherboard
7800GT
2gb ram
Samgsung SATA hdd
DVD RW

Im not planing on overclocking, but i want a case that is as quiet as possible without my comp frying. I am considering using sli in the future... does that affect the case i choose?

Thanks

Would either the Arctic Cooling T1 or T2 be suitable? They seem to be quite nice cases. I need something with a PSU and under about £70 to be honest.

Does SLI need a certain type of PSU?

Ta again

Oh and wrong forum, but any ideas of alternative coolers for the gt or the cpu?

So if i drop the idea of an sli motherboard and the future possibilities...

does that change the case you would recommend, or still go for the Antec Sonata?

My current case isnt that old - its an Eye T 500W case if that means anything, would that be up to the job?

came with the case, but the case was only £35!

Every built a few PC's before, but this is the first time ive gone for something quite so up to date. Up to now ive just got value cases. Im honestly not being difficult, just hard spending so much money.

In effect, if you say the antec is the best way to go, then i'll have to go that way... your advice means a hell of a lot and thanks for the time doing this. I really do not want to fry £700 of new kit!

Well ive ended up going over budget anyway...

I have ordered a 7800GTX and a Athlon 3700XP.

Asked in the motherboards forum if they still recommend the sli board now im not too bothered bout sli.

Since im guessing the powerdrain will be more with the higher processor you have sold me on the Sonata.

Ta again for all your help, very much appreciated.
