you can get 5 or 6 hd's in the lian li i have and the loudest thing in my build is the 500w ocz stealthxstream psu.

wow, 5 or 6? I'm impressed. Looking at the pics on your other thread it does look quite a high case so I can see how.

what software do you use on it?

Im using windows vista with media center, works a dream. Also got a cheapo remote from the bay and it works great.

i use win 7 media centre with the shark007 codec pack, media browser and the harmony plugin and power dvd 7 for my hd dvd playback.

plays everything i have thrown at it

depends on your budget ...
the screen worked great until hi def came along

anything fits in the case, with a nice vent hole directly above the CPU, cooled by a single 120mm fan in lowest setting, a passive GPU , nice and quiet
