I didnt like the nexus breeze because my HD was at 45c even with the bottom fan att full speed, plus its wery plastic. Anyway, i bought myself an Antec SLK3700AMB, 120G spinpoint(nidec) and Be Quiet! BQT-P5 420W PSU

I mounted the HD on some Airex, it sits securely and idle temp on the samsung drive is 30c

thats with a 600rpm 120mm fan at the front. The PSU has two 80mm fans, wich are pretty quiet, not much louder at full CPU load than the front 600rpm fan

The PSU has 27A on the 12V line so i think ill be fine on that part

its atx2.0 compliant. I was impressed with the stuff that came with it, velcro-straps, zip-ties, short! 24-->20 pin adapter, and power-cord. Nice detail imho. The psu is wery shiny

And yeah i know the cables look messy, but as long as they are bright colors they are going to look messy no matter what, especially as most cases are so damn short! And this PSU has A LOT of cables.. 4 sata connectors for example.
