That's the one I was thinking off.
That's the one I was thinking off.
Currently working on a new build with a i5-430m CPU. The CPU has a max TDP of 35w. Do you think it's ok to skip the fan for it?

I just built a system using this case and I love it so far.... my old case was a Zalman HD 135, which I liked, but the Moncase with its low-profile truly looks like a high-end CE DVD player that doesn't stand out among the other HT devices on the TV stand. I didn't use the built-in IR receiver, because I had an external MCE receiver...

MP1 MP2 ANTEC HTPC Case!!!! DE
I'm using a 8600gts in my case and it was really loud so I fitted the Zalman VNF100. It works really well in this case. it is extreemly quite now. you need the fans running in this case for it to cool though. there is no way to have all the components passive because you will get a build up of heat. the case airflow works really...

Hello, I haven't posted forever. Thought I'd logon and answer some questions. What specifically are you looking to know?

The Audio Level of it was fine for me...

I've got an Overture (original, not the II version) and it's a good case, the only thing not so good is that it's a warm case what makes more dificult to choose between low noise and good air flow, for the price I think it's a good choice. I'm happy with it! If you're not looking for the low price these are very impressive cases...
