ZetaEpyon: Right now, it seems that the Fusion Max and Sonata III are my top two competitors for HTPC case. (I happen to own an extra Sonata III) So given the choice between those two, you would chose the Fusion Max as your HTPC case? Can you compare the noise between the two cases please...

I've owned Antec Sonata cases for my towers for a long time. Although not designed to sit sideways, they have properties which make them quiet: rubber hard drive mounts, large 120mm fan on the back, quiet power supply. The rubber feet at the bottom will no longer provide sound protection, and...

I'm a bit slow here. When I connected my 4850 to my TV via HDMI I had audio. With the 9600GT, if I connect it to my TV via HDMI, will I have any audio? If so, lossy or lossless? What would the wiring look like if I had an nVidia mobo?

And like I said, I happen to own both, so I'm familiar with the noise level, and it's not bad. Here are some other questions: I'm going to be sitting 10ft away. I'd like a mouse and keyboard that can perform at that range. Am I overbuying?

Thanks for the quick reply! Funny story, I actually own both a 4850 and a 9600GT. I didn't know about the lossless audio from the 4850! Charts have shown the 9600GT to be very quiet and cool, which I thought would have been good for an HTPC system (my 360 sounds like a rocketship). Thanks...
