Hi
I'm currently using a X-Clio Jr case that I've had for about a year. Great case, but it's SO LOUD!!
The thing sounds like a vacuum cleaner, and I've tried unplugging the case fans, changing the CPU fan, the PSU, even the chipset fan, and it's not getting any quieter. I blame the side panel mesh grill, which means that the side is basically open, letting noise escape.
I've concluded i need a new case. I need some recommendations:
I'd like a fairly simple looking case, preferably with a door. The colour should suit black DVD drives (as that is what I have) and obviously the priority is that it should be quiet! I'd also like a desktop case, but there are few that take ATX boards, and Silverstone's are too expensive. Midi tower otherwise.
Budget is around £40-50, Which I know is low, but I will stretch up higher if you really think it's worth it.
Current cases on the shortlist are Coolermaster Cavalier 3/4 and the Thermaltake Tenor/Soprano, but I've held back on the Cavalier because of suspect cooling (i've got a A64 3200 and a GF6800GT to keep cool), and I've held back on the Thermaltakes because of the price of them.
I'd really appreciate any recommendations anyone can give.
Thanks.
