Designer Cases
Im building a new comp soon and I want to go all out with case. Does anyone know a site that sells really nice looking cases or some good case mods? I'm looking either all aluminum or maybe even that chameleon paint stuff..
also, cooling..who makes good quiet fans these days? thanks

As far as places to buy your case and mods: google "case mods" and "cooling" and compare prices. www.Xoxide.com has some nice stuff, but charges quite a bit for it. The best deals on the cases I've found has been good ol' www.newegg.com Quote:
Vantec and Panaflo make the best, quiet fans. You do have to remember though, they generally pull less air (CFM) than faster, noisier fans. For my money, the 80mm Panaflos and 60 and 92mm Vantec Stealth fans are the best. (I also own a 120mm Panaflo, that is great and quiet, if you case supports it.

sunon fans are real good too, there are a hand full of brands that will do nicely sometimes its rather hit or miss in finding good ones.

Papst actually has the queitest fans I've used to date. A lot more cfm's and quieter than any sunon, panaflo or vantec fan i've used.
