Recommendation needed on case

    Hey there

    Looking for a new case (want to change the motherboard, and the current case is a bit battered due to moving house a couple of times)

    Completely open to suggestions.

    Motherboard to be installed is a MSI 970A-G43 (does that make a difference? Are they all the same size?), the graphics card is an ATI AMD Radeon HD 7870, and the current PSU is a Seasonic G Series 80 Plus Gold.

    I'd ideally be looking for the most silent choice available.

    Should I be looking into watercooling?

    And last, any place in Dublin 8 or Dublin 1 where I can bring my old computer and the new parts and have them do the assembling for me?

    Thanks for any help!

    Depends how quiet you want it (watercooling). Right now, I have my computer sitting beside me under full load, in a completely quiet house, with the only background noise being an open window onto a quiet street, and I can't hear it. If I close the window, it sounds sort of like an idling games console, but lower pitched.

    As for the case, have a look at Nanoxia's Deep Silence One. It's very similar to another highly recommended case (Fractal Design Define R4), except you get a bit more flexibility when it comes to watercooling.

    Hope that helps...

    Never heard of them before, but that sounds like a seriously good (and silent, was reading some reviews) case!
    Cheers!
