Yeah I know I want really good cooling and a great case with a window so I can show off all the hard work that I've done to this computer

[edit]

This is one case I was thinking of buying it's only $25 with a 500w power supply with a window.. Here is a picture

Yes, if the switch is on the back it kind of sucks. Switches on the front are cool though. Switches, and buttons, and gauges. You can never have too many of those.

I've always wanted to get this case:

quite often tho the design on the window looks a lot better then a big open window.

expecially when theres a light on inside and the design in the window really stands out.

That's a nice case, but wouldn't it sort of suck? The case is all clear red plastic, and so wouldn't that look like sh*t with your cd drives and all that stuff?

Personally, I've yet to ever see a cd-rom or whatever with a clear face on it.

So, like, wouldn't it be ugly to have a nice clear tower and then those solid white (or beige or whatever they are) colored drives in the front of it?

Thanks about hte morph, lol. Yeah I hear ya about hte case. If I were to spluge on my case, I night not even get the case i posted. I think it would be a bit overpowering, and yes, I doubt the cd drives would look very good in a case like that, and then there's fingerprints, etc.

But yeah, I geuss it's all personal preference. I like the bigger window so that I can have a window applique on it.

I have a problem:

I have an AMD Athlon, which needs a good cooler.
So I have a good cooler, the problem is just: It's making so much noise!
Even when I'm only playing music, the cooler is at full speed, while I don't think it has to because I'm not asking much of the processor.

Is there a way to change the speed (/noise) of the cooler by software?? Thanks
