Need a new cool, quiet and light case!

I currently have a Silverstone alluminium case but it is sooo loud when vibrations occur and it is so heavy!!!

I will be getting an 8800Ultra soon and have a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Heatsink with a scythe 1600rpm fan. I need everything to still fit perfect but want a lighter case that is quieter and looks nice. Something that isnt to fiddly etc.

Price isnt an issue.... just throw some ideas at me please!

Cheers guys. Remember it need to be light! spacious and quiet

Something not right with that statement, what case is it?

Light = aluminium = more subceptibal to vibration/resonance.

The Eclipse ticks all the boxes but if you are experiencing vibration in the current case, chances are that they will be transfered with it.

Its like a washing machine when it loses its bearing.... It flies towards you like a monster! ...... Not quite as bad as that... it probs. Just shakes very lightly but still... i love my imagination.

Probably the raptors vibrating to buggery.

have you tried taking the sides off the case and see if you still hear the vibration ?

light case i have a lian li pc7-plus, may be worth a look.

I'd say Raptors too - used to have a pair of the same type in the same setup, and they were noisy as ****. Got rid of them, shoved a passive heatsink on my graphics card and CPU, and all is now good
