[QUOTE="edterbak, post: 719643, member: 69192"] I own an Antec Fusion case. I have a AMD x2 245e (45W) stuck in it. The cooler I put on it is one from scythe ninja mini. I dont use a fan on that. In the case I have a 520W powersupply from corsair (very pleased with it!) which I dont hear!. The case comes with 2 x 120mm fans. I put two better ones in which run at ~600rpm which I dont hear as well.... I have put my ears next to the case, but its hard to hear. Temperatures are OK at all times. :) Perfect noiseless system for me. I can imagine you can copy the same kind of setup for any case. Big heatsink/radiator on top of the cpu and one or two slow and noiseless fans near it. You DO need a little bit of air moving through the case. Chipset, GFX card, TV tuner cards and HDD's produces heat as well. [/QUOTE]
