best 480 watt+ PSU and case?

[Phrozt]

not really sure wehre to post this.. but I figured that the mobo place was the best... I'm looking to get a PSU and case for a new comp.. wanted to get a 480 watt for possible use of the gf 6800. What would you recommend as a good PSU/case setup?? Looking for (in this order) reliability, prettiness, quiteness.

Steel cases are your best bet for quietness (well, some heavy plastic cases are better still, but that's nothing you'd want). That is to say, HEAVY steel cases. Thick material dampens noise better. Weighty material has a lower resonant frequency.

You should read my Thermaltake XaserV 7000A review at Sysopt. And consider your options in the 1.0mm steel cases.

As for power supply, I'd recommend the Fortron Source/Sparkle Power FSP-530 units.

heya phrozt;

Another option is the Antec 480 true power, and i like Thermaltake cases.
