My wife bought me a new case! Ain't she great.
Fractal Design Define R3 White....
I was about to buy the NZXT H2 also in white but this video shows that the Fractal Define R3 beats it in many ways.
First of all I would like to thank wsume99 - T800 - poofyhairguy - eSKRo and everyone else who has helped me in this adventure.
The R3 is quiet and I am very impressed. Temps range because of various HD's but they are under 29C idle and 35c load, except for an old WD I have in there witch tends to get to 40C but I will be buying a 140mm fan to stick on the bottom of the case witch it has a spot for and that should help everything out when more HD's are added.
At the moment it's at the front with the htpc but one day I will move it... I can not hear it unless I stick my head close to it. Amazing...
