Hey all!

Trying to build a QUIET computer for the wife...

I've seen the Antec P160 and it's a NICE case, with all the connections and
buttons right a the top of the case, not to mention a sharp look, but it's
too much money, especially without power supply.

I've looked at Antec's Sonata and it's a better deal at around $150 Cdn, but
still a bit pricey. Also not impressed with location/look of USB/Firewire
connectors and these will see lots of usage. I like the sideways mounted
drives and 120mm fan setup of these two cases.

Are there any low cost, quiet cases available out there? I haven't had much
luck locating any.

I'm going to be mounting Intel P4 2.6Ghz systems in here with largish SATA
drives and I doubt there will be any overclocking involved.


I've just built a system using this case,

Includes power supply.
Fantastic internal design as well as USB sockets on the front side.
See if you can source it in Canada.
Only uses 1 hand release screw at the back to remove ALL the
panels.Really neat
Has places for 6 fans but I'm not a believer in over use and fitted
one back case fan and a quiet CPU/HS combo from the same company for
an AMD CPU 70 mm Fan(the bigger the slower so less noise etc).
