    I've a Tower Fractal case. They're very solid and very, very easy to work inside. Only thing to maybe watch is that if there's a switch inside the front to adjust the fan voltages, keep an eye on whether it's working OK. Mine has three power outputs and after a few months only two of them worked. Not a problem as I only have two fans and the PC's not overheated if only one's working. I may just have been unlucky, but it might be a good idea to work the switch once in a while and check things are doing what they should be.

    Thanks guys. I'm not a hardcore gamer. Ii play minor games. But that graphics card is for video edit. If a fan dies, I'll buy a new corsair one. They are solid.

    woooowwww,i like it.looks like a real beast,but do you have any poblems with fan noise in your listening area? i'm thinking of building on the X99 format with the 5820k processor and may use a water cooler also.

    Its almost silent. I bet if you use the Corsair H110 GT instead of the one I use it will be even less noise.

    Replace the two 120mm fans... and it'll be noticeably quieter.
    The stock fans aren't horribly noisy... but they're not particularly quiet.

    I don't hear it now. I have a HTPC 1.5 m to the side of this machine and I only hear that one. So that one is the next project. Or should I buy an cable box from my cable TV company? Their quiet and do all than my HTPC do. The only thing is that I use Surface Pro as a reciever with MediaPortal. And then this wouldn't work anymore.
    I have to wait and get some money before I can do that anyways. Why am I not rich out of making music? I'm on benefits now and I an manage. But why is it so hard to make money in the music business?
