O.K... here's the deal... I need quiet... absolute silence.

I have recently aquired the finishing touches for my DAW, and now I need to start recording... but I can't record jack with all that stupid case hum in the background.

So I bought me an Enermax case (the CS-003-A106) and an Enermax power supply (the EG365P-VE FC) and I am happy with neither of them. I thought I was gonna get a quieter set-up and it's actually louder than the generic crap I had before...

so...

I am gonna start from scratch... I don't give a rat's @ss what it costs.. I have got to get a quiet PC setup... having said that.. I wanna know what's the bomb... what's the stuff... what's the latest and greatest in silent cooling...

First off... PSU.. I have a 350W. That's enough for me.. does anyone make a quieter 350+Watt PSU? (This might not be as much of a problem as my HS/F.. but I still think it's pretty loud.)

Second... Case... what's the quietest case I can get (that also looks decent.) Unfortunately, the one I picked has two vents (top and side) so the noise eeks out from every panel.

Third... HS/F. Who makes a HS/F that can cool an Athlon XP without sounding like a 747 taking off??

Forth.. case fans... what are the best as far as high CFM's with low dB.

Let me have it.. I need it all. I did some searches on the forum here and heard the "Silverado" being thrown around as a good HS/F.. is that still the best as far as cooling/quiet ratio??

Let me know.
