all, I posted the below question to this list so I thought I'd update you all. Thanks for your suggestions.Well, I'd decided to bite the bullet and spend big on a new case and CPU fan.I bought a lian-li aluminum case. It was expensive as cases go (stgÂ£133.86) but I decided, it's a good basis to build any future PC on. It has 4 x 51/4" drive bays and 6 x 3Â½" drive bays so I should be ok for future upgrades etc. I have to say it was worth it. Its a pleasure to work on. It has a slide out tray to mount the Mother Board on, both sides come off, the drive bays come out...all without using a screwdriver (thumb screws). Even the edges inside the case are smooth so no banging your hands off shape edges etc. There are 4 fans inside the case, which can be set to 3 different speeds. There are 4 usb ports on the front of the box too. The box is big and has loads of room inside. Oh... and it looks very cool :-)However there are 2 things to look out for. On the Maplins website it says* Up to three 80mm case fans can be fitted! * ATX Power supply sold separatelyIn fact the case came with 4 fans and a power supply, which is great but I ordered 2 fans and a power supply separately. Also the case was a slightly different model to one advertised, as I got the USB model. It does say (Product may vary in design and specification from that show) but I missed that :-)I also bought a Flower Cooler Kit which is completely silent. Very nice. (thanks Mike)So now I can code-in-peace...Justin > -----Original Message----- > From: ilug-admin@linux.ie [mailto:ilug-admin@linux.ie]On Behalf Of > Justin MacCarthy > Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 12:56 PM > To: Ilug@Linux.Ie > Subject: [ILUG] PC Cases > > > Hi all, I have a Linux box at home that makes a god awful amount of noise. > Its a Athlon XP 1900+ with a CoolerMaster fan.
