Well, I've never dealt with Voodoo, but like I said, I've had tons of experience with Alienware systems, and I've never been let down. I did read an article in PC Gamer mag about that "totally silent" case. The problem is that the whole case is the heat sink, but because of this, the components run quite warm, and Voodoo warns against overclocking. Now, for that little extra power of overclocking, I'd have to deal with a little noise. My personal TT case is very quite, I even sleep with the thing on, so that goes to show just how silent it is. But, I really love the fact that Alienware has comeout with out of the box water cooling. That is AWSOME!
