Do you have enough fans? There's only one in your order, and if you get <br>
anywhere near burning 1kw (!) of power, there is going to be a lot of <br>
heat. I can't see how many the case can take, but putting in more fans <br>
maybe allows quieter fans (and some redundancy), which might be <br>
something to consider.<br>
<br>
I have a "big" case, which allows more room for things, and it's easier <br>
to work with. It also has I think four fans in it, and is very quiet, <br>
most of the time. It's hidden under my desk, so space is not an issue.<br>
