Hello!
I'm going to upgrade my pc when LGA2011 is being released, but i've already started looking into cases, but i can't seem to find the perfect one for me.
First of all, i need my case to be as silent as possible. Right now i'm running a mildly modded Lancool PC-K62, where i've replaced all the fans (they started making ticking-noises after some time, and were generally pretty loud), but i really like the fan mounting system, which also makes the fans more quiet.
I have tried fractal design define r3 and define xl, but the noise absorbing material was FAR too heavy, and didn't seem to work at all.
Other things i want in a case are the possibility to build a water cooling system (preferrably with 2x140mm rad) and enough room for a 6970 (6990 if its doable).
So, to sum it up:
- Extremely silent
- Preferrably Lancool-style grommets for fan mounting (or something alike)
- Not too heavy, with unecessary parts like fractal designs noise absorbing material
- Room for 2x140mm radiator and big GPU's
- Size doesn't matter that much
- No more than 250$
Any suggestions?
