I am after a Black ATX case that has great ventilation, does not rattle like mad. Only has approx 2 cdrom bays as i only use one, is good at helping keep things quiet. Not much to ask!! Any ideas please? Oh, budget, approx £80 no more. Thanks

Possible with a door too.

Oh, would a 8800 fit in a TJ08? I would put the Hard drive in the spare cdrom bay and take out the HD Rack if possible.

Anything but the eclipse the hdd noise on the eclipse is very bad if you use more than 2 hard drives in there.
 
Whatever you do...dont get an Akasa '62. Over priced, bad airflow (had to install a kama bay in mine to improve it), and as said above, the HDD noise is annoying (3 hdds here).
 
Not sure what you guys mean, I have had my Eclipse, 2 HDD's no problem at all, how can you blame HDD noise on a case ? :p
I think the case is excellent and would recommend it ... mine will be soon replaced, but only because I am going watercooled with a large radiator and I want it all inside.
 
Try adding a third hdd and you will know why also depends on your noise tolerance and idea of acceptable noise.
I like my eclipse and glad i only paid £70 new for it when the price was low.No way is it worth any more than £70.
It's a great case to work on a blank canvas if you will but there's better cases to get if you like silence.
I added a 3rd drive recently and it went from quiet to the most annoying random vibration noises sounded like a hair clipper at times and i have 2 drives on rubber grommets in the 3.5 bay.I have reduced the noise by moving the 3rd drive to the 525 bay via a sythe 3.5 to 525 converter with rubber mounts.
