I've had my case (Silverstone RL01) for a almost a year. I got it because it was really cheap, but the airflow isn't too good and it's extremely loud. There is also nowhere to route cables, and very little space for expansion, so you can't fit long Graphics Cards like a GTX 780 (which I plan on getting in the near future). So I've decided I want to upgrade,
How's the airflow?
How's the cable management/routing?
Is it quiet?
What would you recommend as a substitute? (Must be a silence oriented case, must have a mount for a side panel fan and must have good cable routing options). I also don't wanna spend more than $150 AUD.

Thanks in advance
dude, ive been looking at using this case for a build too. There are plenty of reviews online if you search for it. A comparable case would be the Fractal Design Define R4, which can be found for up to 30 dollars cheaper. The define R4 doesn't have fan controllers and it doesn't have the chimney. Personally, I think the DS1 is better, but its very close. In thermals/noise benchmarks I think the R4 actually wins. You can find them if you search.
Yeah thanks, I already looked at some reviews I just wanted to hear from anyone who'd actually used the case first hand just to see if they had any problems with it. I had a good look at the Define R4 but I heard from a buddy of mine that it's not that great, so I'm gonna go with the DS1. Thanks for the help.
