Hello guys,

I want to buy a new case as the one I have been using for my computer is a generic one that generates quite a lot of noise. The most important thing is that my EVGA 7950GX2 fits and that my Tagan 480W fits too.

I cant spend a lot of money. Nothing above £85 quid including shipping.

I have narrowed it to:

Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming case - £81 delivered
Coolermaster Mystique 631 Black - £83 delivered
Thermaltake VA3000BNA Tsunami Dream SuperMidi Aluminium Tower - Black - £81 delivered

What do you think guys?
 
I have seen the Lian Li but looks ugly to be honest. I only want it to be as silent as possible. The one I have got now has got a few 60mm fans that do my head in! :(
 
Ok!

What case for £85 pounds or cheaper then would fit a 7950GX2 and a Tagan 480W and be the quietest around for that price?

I understand that the Antec 900 is not that great and that the other ones are basically overpriced.

does Silverstone have any decent cases in the same price bracket? like SilverStone TJ04B
and what about Akasa Eclipse-62 Midi Tower Case?

I know, I am sure silver is great too. Its only that all my drives are black!

Again, the only reason I am changing case its the noise. What is the quietest case available at the moment on the £85 price mark.

well, my CPU is probably the noisiest but I am also getting an Artic Cooler for it. Graphics card wise is a 7950GX2 and its quite silent so no complains there. I also have got an Akasa HD fan and the northbridge fan on my MSI Neo4 Platinum probably makes a bit of noise too.

THe main problem i reckon is the 3 60mm fans that my current case has got though :)
 
I haven't seen that one anywhere.

I think I am going to go for the Lian Li PC-7 Plus in Silver :) to match my monitor. What do you guys think? Will that be silent enough? Do I need to change any of the fans?
 
I haven't been able to find the Artic Cooling ones.

The other ones (Yate Loon 120mm) I have noticed make 28db that is not as good as others that I have seen like the Akasa / Coolermaster.

I managed to find those Arctic Cooling ones at last.

And also, I better ask now that I have the chance.

Will there be any problems fitting a EVGA 7950GX2 on the PC-7 Plus?

Thanks again
 
Would a fan controller be enough? I don't really want to start doing mods. I had a look and they seem easy, but I want "easiest" :)

Thanks for the help though! Really appreciated :cool:

Well, I have now bought the case and was thinking if it was going to fit my 7950GX2 as it is massive and it has got problems with my current case. What do you guys know about this?

I am going to check what is the noise it generates and if its still quite bad I will change the 2 120mm fans for 2 Artic Cooling ones as they seem to be quite cheap.

Thanks for the helps though. I will provide pictures when I get this done (probable after xmas)
