i dont really play computer games. but i am big with my xbox 360, and soon ps3. i want to build a computer and i decided to first start with buying the case. My plan is to have a great processor and motherboard (they might be the same thing, im not that great with computers, but that is why i am doing this project). i want to have 3 1tb hard drives in my computer, so i need a lot of trays. i want to have 2 optical drives so i need room for that. i want to make sure that the computer is cool because it will barely ever be turned off (standby a lot). it will be in my bedroom, so i dont want 100 fans that are going to make crazy amounts of noise. i want something that is quite. what kind of case do you think i should get that can accomodate my needs and that is not too pricey. also, do you know how many watts of power i should have?
