Thanks for all the feedback guys, I've decided on a build and should purchase this weekend (some nice sales at newegg). I'll update on how everything fits together when the parts arrive!
Cheers

Re: Low range computer component check
Wow, thanks for pointing out those cyclone cards. Sound levels ~24 dBa from 1m is plenty good for me, and power consumption is still OK, at least within my limits

Re: Low range computer component check
Well, I'm using a Intel duo core and 8800 GT right now and it sounds like a jet engine. I have a 1920 monitor, and by "higher settings" I mean "better than I have now". I'm looking for lower power consumption (aka heat generation in my A/C-less california home). Happy to take suggestions on a differ...

Re: Low range computer component check
I wonder if it wouldn't be better to invest in a GPU with a better cooler installed, rather than spend $55 on an aftermarket one. EDIT: I assume the Gelid case fan is fine, but you might be able to save a couple bucks with a scythe slipstream pwm fan. (dunno if there any benchmarks comparing the tw...

Re: Low range computer component check
Thanks for the feedback! Swapped a couple things around last minute (Different seasonic power supply with a fan for half the price, changed the vid card to a 6670). Like you said, should still run the games I want just fine for ~800 and pulling ~250W while still being silent and more compact than wh...

Low range computer component check
Hello all, Just doing a component/compatability check for my new system. I wanted something capable of playing WoW/D3 at higher settings while keeping low wattage/silent/low heat in mind as well. Trying to stick with a smaller case as well, and the ps-07 seems like a fantastic case I could keep thro...

Re: May 2012 Mid-Range Gaming PC
Hey there, love the build. Did the CPU cooler work well in that case in the end? I'm thinking about building a very similar computer. Probably going PS-07 case, and might remove the drive cage entirely since I only need 1HD, 1 external and a SSD space, and getting a fanless seasonic 460W. Just want ...

Re: Silent Lian Li PC-A04
That system looks great? If you don't mind what is the approximate cost you put into it? I've been looking at building a new, efficient gaming pc. That set up looks really slick, curious if that sort of thing is in my price range.
Nice job
Nice job

Silent Gaming Computer Feedback
Hello all, I'm a recent convert to this website, and although computer noise never bothered me in the past I am becoming increasingly aware of how loud my current computer is. My current computer has no components newer than about 5 years old and is starting to really fall behind the times. I've put...
