    Get the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro as it is a far better and quieter cooler!!

    Here it is:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=340993

    However it is out of stock! Doh!!

    The XFX card has got a good review:

    http://www.legitreviews.com/article/336/1/

    The 7300GT should be similiar(if not faster) but is not a totally silent option!

    Remember to check the Today Only,Bundles of the Week and Shop Offers pages as you could probably get some of the bits cheaper.For some reason the offers price is not reflected if you search for the item the normal way and can be only accessed through the offers pages??!!

    i will go for the silent option.
    i want a silent pc so since the silent gpu is only a bit more its worth it.
    is the AKASA Zen case quiet?
    so far as you can see above ive got a fanless Asus mobo,Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro, and 7600gs silent.
    also is the psu quiet?
    i like music and i dont want my pc to interfere=D

    Hi

    If the system fans are set to low it is not too noisy.Of course if they are set to full there is more noise but it is low pitch. I used the case when building my friends computer. It has two 120mm fans - one for the intake and one for exhaust. You could always replace the 120mm fans withe their Sharkoon equivalents if the noise is higher than you like! I cannot comment on the power supply as I have not used it but I have heard good things about it.For the price it is an excellent buy but quieter power supplies could cost considerably more(above 40-50quid)!! Do not buy a totally passive PSU as they can cause issues in the long term!!

    I did a build a few months ago with the SilverPower 350W and the Akasa Zen.

    The machine was quieter than I'd expected once I'd undervolted the fans with a fanmate.

    Wasn't too impressed with the case though - build quality in particular. Was happier with the SLK3000B.

    Just gone up a fiver then - still cheap but the Akasa Zen comes with 2 x 120mm fans and the Coolermaster is supplied with just 1 x 120mm fan. For around the same price I would go for the Zen as another Fan would push the cost to £34 for the coolermaster.

    so the above spec only has one 120mm case fan?
    so i would have to buy another one?
    i just found out i can get a SLI mobo for £61 which puts my budget up by about £11 but it means if i want to use sli later on i dont have to buy a new mobo.
