    Hi Guys,

    I have decided that I wont be going ITX for a little while as I need to curb on the spending and plan things out a little bit. Currently I have a i5 760 and a H55 MATX board and a H50 cooler housed in an Antec P180 mini.

    Picked up a i7 920 and a Asus Rampage(MATX) off the forums a few weeks ago and am considering a quick rebuild while I clear out some older gear. Machine is currently in the bedroom and on pretty much all the time, so needs to be quiet.

    Option one:

    Just reuse everything I have, (cant use the h50 as i dont have an 1366 bracket, so stock cooler)

    Option two:
    New case, though having some trouble deciding what to go for. Currently its between an Aerocool dead silence, cooler master selencio, and a bit fenix prodigy M. And get a new cooler. Got my eye on one of the scan refurb H100's (I'm cheap, what can I say?)

    Any thoughts? Any options I have missed? I dont really do any demanding gaming these days, so video is staying as it is and in the next few months I will probable be rebuilding my entire network with the i7 920 being repurposed to be my ESX host.

    Regards,
