The Antec Truepower series are pretty cheap and quiet. I'd be a bit concerned about your CPU temp. 61C is a bit warmer than I'd be comfortable with even at full load. You may need to add a case fan to get the air moving better. I understand that you don't want to add noise, but even a quiet...

I have a 2500 Barton 333 FSB that's just collecting dust. I don't plan on buying another Socket A board. You're welcome to it, just pay the shipping which should only be a couple of bucks.

I've used some similar CoolerMaster models and I agree, they're excellent.

I built a system for someone with that first case you linked and I thought it was junk. (They picked it). Cheap thin metal and cheesy construction. I agree with sturm on the full tower. I only use them for systems with large raid arrays or CD/DVD cloning arrays. At work I've been using antec...
