I best change my sig aswell

[Gorman]

Noooo! you must know something i dont? whens the ETA?

[SteveB]

End of October :(

[Gorman]

Ack that sucks. For your needs i would say a Sileo 500, understated and silent.

[SteveB]

Will it not get warm in there with only one fan and all that insulation? I know I'm not gaming so it shouldn't get too warm, what do you think?

[Gorman]

Nah i had a high end I7 GTX280 rig in one and had no issues, its acoustic insulation and doesnt affect the temps, as with any case its all about cold air in front bottom, hot air out back top.

I like the Sileo a lot, was just too small for me so i moved onto others.

[SteveB]

Ok cool, Silo it is then

[SteveB]

Lol won't be getting the Silo as the motherboard won't fit

[Gorman]

Wont fit? Website saying that?

Will take a look tomorrow. Wont fit. Like the lump hammer was never invented.

[SteveB]

Ha ha, ye website info after I try to amend

[Rakk]

Wont fit. Like the lump hammer was never invented.

Hehe, I always knew the answer to anything was a hammer :)

(Though I did once get a PC case to do what I wanted by threatening it with a saw blade - I was impressed)

Don't be too disappointed, while the 600t has very good features the actual cooling is pretty average. It's worse than the £60.00 cheaper Cooler Master CM 690 II.
