    Hi guys,

    I am looking for building two types of machines using small desktop cases.
    Something with this kind of design
    http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/288844/antec-fusion-htpc-media-center-case--430-watt-psu-included.html

    First machine type would be a server and the other one will be a multimedia PC installed in the sitting room.
    For the server I need to be able to have 4 network connections (RJ45 ports).

    My priority is to have something extremelly quiet.
    I spent a lot of money to buy hardware, I even tried the BTX format, which is silent, but not enough.

    I am looking for something small and extremelly quiet, what would you recommend ?

    Even with 2x 120mm Fans and a 430 W Power Supply, plus the CPU Fan I would add ?

    If ur wondering if its quite with all those fans, the answer is yes... I'm using a stock intel cooler. With the fan on that off u can't hear the other fans unless ur right ontop of the case.. I've a low profile zalman i've been meaning to fit to it but now that im upgrading i aint bothered.

    Its a great case, highly recommend it...
