Hi guys,
I'm building a pc out of old bits for the wife's business. Spreadsheets, bit of web content/surfing and word processing.
I've got all the necessary bits to get this off the ground - mobo, cpu, graphics card, harddrive and case.
The case though is a bit on the old side. It's a thermaltake something silver and the fans in it are terrible. Really noisy. Really annoying.
I want to make it as quiet as possible, but here is the thing: the fans for this case are only 80mm.
Looking on OC website the best reviews come for the 80mm Noctura but they are out of stock.
What about the Arctic Cooling F8 ones?
Are they good?
Other recommendations welcome, but I'm looking for reasonably inexpensive.
Thanks.
