I am about to buy a new case and I am between the Thermaltake Soprano (no window) and the Cooler Master Centurion 530. This two come in the same price range and both have two 120mm fans. Any idea of which is more promising? I am mainly interested in airflow and low noise output.

check that article out... they bring up some nice stuff about this case.



"Pros

Top I/O port
Toolless PCI slots
Great cooling potential
Front panel has air filters
Side-facing toolless HDD cage
Overall looks pretty good
Stealthed bays

Cons

Annoying steel stamped front bay shields
Price is a little high (would have liked to see included PSU)"

I have a Thermaltake Soprano (black w/ window) and I love the design of it. In my opinion, the only downside was the lack of a removeable motherboard tray. I have an Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI mobo in it with an AMD 64 3000+, Hiper 480W PSU, NVidia 6600GT video card etc.. etc... and the noise levels are very low. The only sound I hear is when the vid card cooling fan is on full during a heavy load. Otherwise it is the quietest case I have ever had.
