QUOTE(qwerty79 @ Nov 1 2007, 10:19 AM) You can find full tower with RM250, please let me know. As far as I know, ALL Full Tower cost more than RM500, may be more. But with RM250 u still can buy some good casing which can support water cooling and spacious internal. Those of u on tight budget but still want a proper Full Tower. There is hope. U need to go around n find an Enlight Full Tower case. It only costs rm200 brand new. If cant find then I'm sure u can ask the shop to order it for u. To c how the Enlight full tower looks like, click on Project Ch3@psk8 in my signature. It's a gigantic case with lotsa space at the cheapest price u can find. Of course mine is still the Ch3@p3st coz it's Project Ch3@psk8!

Hi guys, Budget 500 buck (ok, maybe 600 if you need to push it). Help suggest some casing and psu combo thats as silent as it gets. Aesthetic value and brand doesnt matter. The rig doesnt need to be pretty or run cool. Its only for 24/7 torrenting. Current setup is too noisy to sleep with, and its 2 meter away.
For CPU I just bought a 60mm papst fan from allngap. Havent slap it on yet as I need to find some long screws (its 25mm thick, compared to stock fan 10mm). That fan is silent alright.
Thanks.

There's no case in this world that could operate at silent mode if the heatsink inside is like a blower ... screaming and humming loudly ..
Instead of focusing of the case, better research of silent cooler and fans ..
those are the root of noise rather than the case alone..
then only decide which case to get .. .

You want big spaces then V2000 or TJ-07 are about the same, however the price does differ ..
as for V1200 its a nice one if u just need a bit more space than standard atx case length ... it would be nice to fit in long graphic cards ...
however have to watch out for the length of sata cables that connect to the HDD, cos standard length at 45cm might not reach nicely ...
It all depend on ur other requirement as all three cases are good in cooling performance . . if u have more HDDs than better choose TJ-07.. if not V1200 would be just nice ...

hmm actually V1200 also nice if u got long sata cable .. but a easy cut would be getting TJ-07 ....
Easy and manageable and could do BTX mod for optimum modding like uncle Ian always does with TJ-07 ...

Thanks. fan create noise. where is the fan?>>PSU, CPU, GC, casing fan. check which one generate most noise. alternative is to use water cooling system. ur budget just enough to get a decent one.

Lowyat plaza is the ground to look for all these cases .. but u must have a sharp eyes to identify those goodies .. coz often it's hidden behind all those lower end cases.
