I completely ignored the case and fans and couldn't be happier

you guys are soooo not thinking outside the box...

I have a pretty regular case, 80mm noisy fans, etc - but I just put the darn thing in the basement, remote KVM to the listening room via 50 foot Cat5 cable and things couldn't be quieter here.

My entire listening box was less than $600 and it's working just fine on a 3 year old CPU (at 2% CPU with foobar running) and a fully isolated battery powered DAC (fiber optic USB extender)

Basically, I decided to forego the PC tweaking - get the bits from it and put the money on isolating it from the listening room equipment.

just food for thought... don't have to do it that way, but I can imagine worse solutions.
