Quiet, Small Case.....recommendations please

[mda96bjh]

Hi all


I'm sick of the noise from all my performance PC's & want a quiet case to throw some mid-range parts into.

I only need 1 hdd so don't need much space.


Any ideas??

As above. Lian Li really do know how to make great cases.

I'd also recommend looking at the Silverstone Sugo

I'd go lian li listed above but also include the g50 and v600 which are the same size as the a05 but use a different psu mounting, its above the cpu.

Silverstone Sugo SG01e has to be on the list, especially if used with an nt06 (works passively with 120mm fan on psu), sg02 which is a restyled sg01e and the SG03 which is a tower version. Theres also the TJ08 which is a matx case in a more traditional layout.

I think the A05 is slightly taller (2cm perhaps) than the V600/G50. For that reason, the only reason I can see for going with a C600/G50 is if you have very tight space restrictions.
