RE: Please suggest hardware for my 2nd CMP (sorry for the extra posts..I think I hit reload too many times)

Mihaylov ,
I'm looking on your site for a case and cpu heat sink heat that will let the cpu heat sink dissipate heat to the case. i also own a new thermalright x-silent 140 fan, which I can use to provide airflow through the chasis if need be, but I would seriously prefer to go completely fanless.
I'd even will consider leaving the top of the case off as a last resort if I didn't have to use any fans.
Do any of your cases work like this:

It looks like an amp with the fins, but it is not tall enough for a sound card unless you use a riser card adapter that I think turns the card 90 degrees in the case. Plus it might be a bit pricey just for the case.
I'd like something cheaper. In the review, this company appears to sell the GA-H55M-UD2H and i3 cpu anyway, which gives me hope. I just want to buy a case and cpu heat sink to build it all myself.
Do any of your recommended cases allow for a totally fanless system like this?
The improvement just by removing the power supply and hard drives from my last system was very significant, so I want the most rigid, vibration resistant and hopefully fanless case i can find for a reasonable price. The i3 I bought has the fan, so i can use that for startup until i can set the bios not to complain when it's not plugged in.
Which product from your list would work best?
Thanks,
Mike
