    which case to pair with a seasonic psu?

    I'm looking for a really quiet case. I was planning to buy an antec p-180 but then I found out that the power cables of the seasonic psu aint that long enough, so I cant pair that case with the seasonic psu.

    Which silent case do u suggest me?
    What do u think about silentmaxx ST-11 Pro case?

    Apart from noise, another aspect that worries me is the weight of the case. It'd be really amazing if I could find a light and quiet case :-)

    Well, I just got a P180 and it is sorta weighty, but you probably wont find a case that gets as quiet as this. I have had a few cases and this one really stops the annoying high-frequency fan noise, and feels quite sturdy.

    Why dont you just get an extender for your PSU? Its probably a little annoying, but it shouldn't put much (not measurable with a typical DMM) resistance on the line.

    As far as weight, again, I got a case strap for the thing (Sunbeam, 15.00 USD strap) and its pretty easy to carry, even with my hardware and water cooling installed. Im not a big guy, either. However, my previous case was an ALL steel, full tower. So I am used to heavy cases. Anyhow, get whatever fits what you want, but I think the P180 is worth another look.

    So, do you know where I could get an extender for my PSU?
    I really want to manage to pair it with an antec p180 case, it's a really amazing case.

    EDIT: oops, how stupid of me, i've just googled it and found many shops selling extenders, thanx for the tip :-)

    The Lian Li PC-G70 has Very Quiet fans and an adjustable side fan for VGA cooling. Its a full tower but on the small side for a tower. Also can place the psu at the bottom or top of the case.
