Alrighty, I'm planning out a new system and would appreciate any feedback on silence options....

First of all, I'm not interested in water cooling simply because I don't overclock and think that it's a lot of money and trouble for not that much return over oversized air cooling. I don't need a cooling system rated for nuclear reactors...

I'm thinking of going with either a two or three way SLI setup and an intel quadcore. Case size isn't an issue since I normally just put the system on the floor next to my desk.

What cases do you guys like that have lots of room and can run larger fans that can be quieter?

Any other pointers to make me not feel like I have to put headphones on every time I play?

(At one point, I tried extension cables and just put my rig in the closet, but there's no ventilation in there and it got too hot. heh. Maybe I could put in a bathroom fan...)

Thanks much,
Blorton
