[QUOTE="solas989, post: 368200, member: 87399"] I have M2A-VM inside a Silverstone SG01 Evo - not exactly a HTPC Case...but closer than most. I had to have a case that would be < 10.75" and it fit the bill nicely. With only 3 fans (2x8cm thermal controlled,1x12cm thermal ) running, it is quite. I can not hear it from 2.5m away and only hear the fans if I am using mouse to do installs or maintenance (remote takes to long to do what I want). I also have in it a Gigabyte 7600GT HDMI Single Slot Passive cooled and HT Omega Claro sound card. Temps on a hot day (ambient = 27C) will get no higher than GPU=57C, CPU=41C, MB=37C, HD=30C. CPU is has a passive hs on it and uses the power supply 12cm fan to cool. 1 8cm fan blows over the HD and the other pulls air in from the top. I did as a test only use the power supply fan and the case temps only went up 7C however the HD went up 10C. I used Silverstone's LCD (Soundgraph oem) to do display and remote. Best of all it was cheap in comparison to other htpc boxes at the time (2 or 3 years ago). Just my small thoughts is all. Note: My box is UNDER clocked to reduce heat production. I can still play HD (.ts), timeshift HD (.ts) and record HD (.ts) with no studdering or performance issues. What is even more fun is I can Terminal Server in as another user at the same time I am watching TV and do things like rip DVD's, install software, surf web etc. Solas [/QUOTE]
