I am looking for a quiet full tower to house a new Q6600 system + 4x sata raid hard disks a maybe an extra standard drive for backup. I am going for the new zalman cooler, a silent graphics card and quiet psu. I now want a case to match it that will also be very quiet. This has led me to the Coolermaster RC1000 Cosmos. Can anyone suggest anything better at the £100-£120 pricemark please?
 
There aint, not when silence factor comes into it....

Pretty much the Eclipse 62/Eclipse Mirage/Antec 900/antec p182 are similar classed cases and around the same price tag but there always gonna require low noise fans and even then while they have some noise dampening features like hdd gromments it still wont match the Cosmos, checking around the cosmos can be had for around 100 quid anyhow.
 
:)cool, i had pretty much decided that this was the one for me but wanted to check I was not missing a trick. Cheers.

Hi

I Just got myself one of these cases and i must say it very well built and very easy to use and lots of space to put all the parts in with room to spare ...... it per as HighlandeR say you can get for around £100 mark now ;) well worth the money i say

Can any of you guys who have this case let me know just how quiet it is?? I plan to do a new build with this case with a Q6600 which I will overclock to maybe 3.2ghz but looking around some of the reviews - it doesn't seem to be the best thermal performer, has anybody who has one any thoughts on this please.
 
Currently have my Q6600 at 3Ghz and it is not doing too bad, about 45 degrees under full load, with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. It isn't as good as some other cases, the thermal performance does suffer as a result of the excellent noise dampening. Overall a good balance between the two in my opinion. An Antec Gaming 900 for example would be superior for cooling but they are also really loud and get very dusty very quickly.
 
I have the Thermaltake Armor Aluminium Case just now but it really is just too noisy for me, so noise would be the deciding factor not how high I can overclock.
I have a quad core overclocked @3.2ghz and temps are in the mid 50's when priming (that is with a thermaltake V1 CPU cooler set to low). By the looks of things 45 degrees is exceptional with an AFP7 so you have made my mind up for me thanks ... Coolermaster Cosmos will be ordered.
