Re: Overheating - need case recommendations

I chose the R604TBLK-N for $60 from Newegg.com for my new 64-bit system.
Came with a 450W power supply with 2 fans (You can get it without the PS),
and the case itself included a 120mm fan with room for 1 more. And it's
all VERY quiet. (My old box wailed like a Banshee.) After installing the
MB and stuff, when I first turned it on, it was so quiet, I thought it
wasn't powering up. Sitting right next to it, all that comes out of it is
light whir or purr.

Thanks, I'm looking into that. I think a case like that, plus maybe another 120 mm fan, might be on order....
