I've built a three-head monster, and now I'm having a problem getting rid
of the head. 3 nvidia cards, 3 sound cards, and a scsi card all generate
a lot of heat.

I'm housing this stuff in a really cheap case, and cooling is a problem.

Anyone have any recommendations for an inexpensive, quiet, well-ventilated
case and power supply?

Size and appearance is not much of a consideration, but quiet would be
nice.

Have you considered water cooling?
