I am considering building The Allenstein Machine listed on the best desktop post. Has anyone built this machine using the listed case, components and hard drives and if so could your give any feedback on how quiet the system runs and/or would I need to upgrade anything make it run quieter? Thanks, Michael

THe antec sonata II (99 w/450 quite power supply) is quite nice with the zalman fan. The stock case is nosier than the sonata II and noisier than I expected.

do you sonata owners feel that there is sufficient cooling? (I believe there is one fan in there...the allenstein box has 2) Thanks, Keith
