Hello,

I want to build a computer with no fans. Could you please point me in the direction of cases that don't need fans. I know I've seen cases that have a heatsink on the outside (the body of the case acts as the heatsink) and there is a heatpipe to the processor and other hot components. Any idea where I can find one of those.

Thanks.

I just need it for internet browsing and playing videos. I'd like to be able to play HD videos without problems (glitches or stuttering). I won't be gaming or doing anything else that requires any significant computational power.

Both of those look very interesting.

The first one (by quietpc) is a little too expensive for me. I didn't mention price earlier but I'd like to keep it in the $60-$70 range. Also, I don't need it to fit a full size (ATX) motherboard.

The second one is a lot like what I'm looking for. But when I tried to go to the amazon page that they link to, it says that the product is no longer available.

That one is available. Thanks.



After looking into it some more, I've decided to go with the Akasa Euler S which will fit a thin mini-itx motherboard.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
