[mythtv-users] HTPC Case

[Nowhere]

Well the Coolermaster ATC-620 comes with no powersupply. You don't get
much quieter than that! You can put your own in from someplace like
http://www.endpcnoise.com (Check out the Nexus PSUs). If you really want
to quiet thing up look into acoustic insulation, hard drive suspension,
rubber grommets for mounting case fans etc.

I have the Coolermaster 610 with a Coolmax 300W PSU (has a single 120mm
fan with 3 speeds). No northbrige or Graphic card fan and a single case
fan (forget the brand) with the Nexus CPU cooler from the above webpage.
Until you are within about 6 inches of the case in a relatively quiet
room you cannot tell if the unit on or off.

I had the luxury of building the system from scratch for this purpose
but I think the silence cost me an extra $45 over using all stock items.

So in long :), it isn't so much the case as what you put in it.

Shoot me a mail if you wanna chat more...

Eric

I don't know about the SilverStone ones, but those cool Accent cases are
available here:

For myself, I've decided that the only case I know is sufficiently quiet
is
the Antec Sonata, which unfortunately is a tower case, but for me
silence is
more important than form factor.

Or does anybody know of any other silent ATX HTPC cases? No, from what
I've
heard the Overture doesn't quite make it.
