I'm about to embark on a new build and I was wondering what case your using?
Hopefully I can make mine as silent as your's is. Except I may ruin that if I get a 8800GTX
I'm using an old old case. It's an Antec Solution Series mid tower. I actually couldn't afford to buy a new case so I stuck to the old one. It doesn't have room for a case fan so I just leave the side panel off. This does make a difference, dB wise... but my system is STILL quiet enough that I can't hear it. The only fans I have running are the PS, CPU cooler, and VGA cooler. Idle temp is 38C. Load temp is 54C. Very acceptable in my opinion.
Seasonic is hands down an EXCELLENT power supply. From what I've been told, 380W Seasonic is enough to run any system that isn't using SLI or Crossfire.
