|  cool and quiet computing setup
Hi I'm ready to build my next gen PC to get in line with whats out in the market. I'm going the Intel Core 2 duo path (or maybe quad).
I want two recommendations at this point to keep the PC silent.
1. Power supply that silent with about 500W-550W of power.
2. Heatsink which is extremely quiet and does the job of keeping things cool.
3. A case that will help with the above two setups to help my pc keep cool n quiet.
If I can get these things worked out, I'll probably have most of my problems solved. I don't plan on overclocking. I'm not really a gamer. I watch movies on my pc and often do a lot of conversion/encoding.
hope this helps.
regards,
Chirag

You know your life has gotten "DICEY" when it turns into an episode of LOST, like my ex wife, who I swear is one of "The Others". Do something useful with your computer, join Teams Helix and Discovery and help find a cure, you could be the ONE that does! |

| There was an incredible deal on one of the cases by coolermaster and I jumped on it.

What is the general consensus on this case? i like the fact that the front is like a filtered air duct.
I'm going to look over for the heatsinks and the power supply as recommended.

the p180 is a fantastic tower case. I'd be hard pressed to use anything else anymore |
