First build

I've ordered everything and the only thing I haven't recieved was my sound card but I was going to wait for the case. But now I noticed most places are sold out of the Coolermaster sileo 500, so I was wondering if there was a recall on them or what?

So I need a quiet case with a good psu that will work for everything here if the coolermaster one got recalled or something. I'll be using it for music production so preferably something VERY quiet.

If you want VERY quiet, get a case without a PSU, and get a fanless PSU.

That was actually about the price I was looking to spend on a case and a psu. Probably 130 bucks tops.

You will want either a SSD or a WD AV drive so you not hear the hard drive clicking away.
