Looking for a small case

Tedandy · 12 Jul 2007 at 23:08

I am looking to get a small desktop case. Been looking at quite a few. Don't want the traditional 'Desktop' case, long and flat. Not interested in Shuttle.

Silverstone do some nice cases. I like a quiet system. Has to be silver in colour and probably aluminium. Seen the new SG03 but not fussy about that. Too tall for a desktop case. What about the SG01? Are they good at keeping components cool? Are they noisey with the fans in them? I am going to buy a Corsair PSU.

Edit: Going for a Silverstone TJ08s

Good at cooling - yes, noisy with fans in, well thats subjective, I don't think so, but my cpu is cooled by the psu fan (NT06 cpu cooler).

Noisy? Depends on the fans you use.

Good at cooling? Well yeah it's alright, but not a patch on the SG03 which has a pair of 120mm fans to push a lot of air right through the middle of the case.

And the Corsairs are awesome PSUs. I run an HX620 in mine, it's absolutely rock solid and I can see why they get such rave reviews.

Is the PSU noisy?

Totally inaudible at all times. My Corsair is by a far distance the quietest part in my Sugo.
