Looking for the perfect case for my old XP-2500

Post by nanoblaze01 » Sun Mar 09, 2008 6:49 pm

ABIT "NF7-S" Rev. 2
AthlonXP-M [email protected]
Thermalright SI-97A w/ Nexus DF1209SL-3
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro @ 440/398 w/ Zalman VF700-Cu
WD Raptor 74GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB
LITEON 52327S CDRW
NEC 3540A DVDRW
Sunbeam Fan Controller hooked to 3 Panaflos (forgot which but they're the silent ones) and the Nexus
Antec TruePower 430W

Yeah, it's obsolete but it does everything I need it to.

This is everything I have in an Antec 1080 SOHO Tower. I've found that the case is too big and I hate the door.

I want something smaller and simple.
No door.
Easier to silence, preferably black.
USB ports in the front are a plus.

Any other words of advice on my hardware is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Antec Solo certainly fits the bill, though it's not completely black.

Perhaps one of the low end Coolermasters?

Maybe antec's 300 (which is released this month) is a good choice?
