I'm looking for a cheap ($100) silent mid-tower case, and the Sileo appears to be a decent choice, but it looks like it has the same cooling capabilities as a wooden box. Do you think it'll be able to keep an overclocked 6870 running, and if not which alternative should I consider?
I read the review here and it was tested with a 4870 that run at 77ºC , but it appears that the 4870 had a bad fan curve and it's normal for it to idle around 70. My card idles at 30 so I don't know what to make of that review.
Thanks for reading

For 10 dollar more you can buy a Fractal Design R3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811352002). It has way more options (read fan ports) to cool a highend system. Like you can see in this Youtube video.
