[QUOTE="madmonkeyman, post: 22615, member: 13135"] [b]Silverstone for Me![/b] Hello, Just to chuck in my two cents! I have the Silverstone LC11m Silver and think its fantastic. I have not replaced the internal fans or the AMD fan that came with the processor and I can't hear the PC apart from when its under the highest load (gaming). Even then its only a slight hum. The only thing I have done is make sure the cables inside are routed nicely and don't interfere with the airflow inside the case. I used rounded IDE cables to help with this. The greater the restriction on airflow then the higher the temperature, the higher the temperature then the faster fans have to spin to cool the box. The rounded cables have helped with greatly this. If you want a box to sit in the living room and look dead sexy then Silverstone case is for you. The remote control and software are great too. Fully customisable. Two PCI slots and a PCI-e slot for expansion. e.g. two tuners and a dedicated graphics card if you need it. Personally I used an MSI RS480M2-IL which has onboard graphics and s-video out which reduces the cards you need in the box as well. If you want a box to sit on your PC desk and look okay then the Thermaltake is the one for you. Good expansion if you need it. Can't comment too much on the Thermaltake as I don't have one. Just don't like the look of it personally. In the looks category the Silverstone wins hands down, the only problem is that its made the rest of my equipment look cheap!! Anyway that's my two cents. Didn't think the post was going to be that long! [/QUOTE]
