[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: recommend a quiet powersupply and fan

[tr_data1]

I guess I'll join in on the computer case req., even though I think
the orig. poster was asking about a PS. My most recent build is
with the Antec "Super Lanboy". This is the newer lanboy. Features:
+ light weight (alum)
+ big fan in front and back == quiet!
+ drive bays are rubber grommit'd (sp!) == quiet
+ carrying strap and internal funky "tool box"
+ front conn (mic, headset, usb I think. Don't have 'em hooked up)

The things that were slightly off-putting to me are:
- no power supply (case is about $70 itself. I had a spare PS already)
- alum gauge is a little thin but no big deal
- the drives are behind a door (I guess remove it if it's an issue)
- front fan is a clear blue-lit one I suppose I could disable the lights
- left panel is a window one (no non-see-through panel offered)

Obviously (by name and looking at the case) it is targeted for the
people that go to lan parties.  Antec also has another quiet and
cool box I REALLY wanted, the P160.  It's bigger, and even has
a temp. LED display. However, I had a hard enough time justifying
the $70. The P160 goes for $110. Again, no PS. Hmm, the P160
might have a washable front filter too.
