    Well here's my new setup in the Silverstone case:

    Silverstone Sugo SGO1 Case
    AMD 3000+ Venice
    Silverstone NT03 CPU Cooler
    2 x 512MB Geil Value RAM
    128MB Gigabyte 6200 PCI-E (Component Out to SDTV)
    Technotrend Budget 1500 DVB-C Card
    Hitech Digital X-Mystique 7.1 Gold PCI Dolby Soundcard
    MSI RS480M2-IL Matx Motherboard
    NEC ND3540A DL DVDR/RW
    Hiper HPU-4B580 Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU - UV Blue

    Replaced Silverstone fans ( 1 x 80mm & 2 x 60mm) with panaflos

    Oh & some fairly good quality interconnects to the TV & Amp :)


    Here's the images:

    Had to cut away a bit of the fan casing on the rear 60mm fan to allow for the breakout box cable for component output & also file a bit away on the last slot for the DVB-C card. Otherwise no problems really.

    It gets fairly warm being such a small case. The rear exhaust & the front 80mm are fitted as standard - the top 60mm is optional. All I did was replace the std fans with panaflos which are quieter & move more air :)

    TBH its not too bad they're actually quieter than the one silverstone bundled with the case. I may undervolt them to keep them quieter.

    Great job! Looks sharp. I'd definitely agree with undervolting the fannage, though

    damn, whats the thick ass cable coming out your soundcard about? what cable is it? (brand and model please :))
    btw, i;ve read and heard on other forums, that it is possible to connect ur pc to ur tv using the dvi connect (along with a convertor, so dvi to scart) and this provides a better quailty signal..
