Need a bit of advice, I'm planning on upgrading my rig in early June (current spec in my sig - upgrade will be a complete overhaul). Now I currently have a Centurion 532 and I like the layout/design and all that so if possible I would like to hang on to it for my new rig in June but I really want to make the overall PC as near to silent as possible while still running air.
I suppose my main questions are:
a) is this case good for airflow? - will it keep everything cool with two decent 120mm fans
&
b) is this a good case to make quiet easily?
I have already removed the HD encloser and put the HD up with the Optical Drive to minimise blockage for the front fan. MY ideas are to cut the rear fan grill out, maybe add a top fan to extract risen hot air and add some more holes near the MB tray to allow for better cable management. Any other suggestions welcome, or ideas.
When I do upgrade I will be going AMD, probably the 720 P2 or the new dual cores when they come out on a AM3 MB for eas of future proofing. My budget will be in the area of £600 max.
