We used their 4U rackmount cases at the Lab. The folks on the project were used to the old rackmount cases that made a lot of noise. When I finally got all the computers for the project assembled, I had the twelve of them running on a conference room table at once. One of the senior fellows was astounded that you could barely hear all of them running at once. I use their NSK-3480 case here at home. It's a mini-ATX tower with a 380 W 80Plus rated power supply. We go for the low-power end of things, so the power supply is way over-rated for the 46 - 50 W our two computers draw from the wall outlet. They have a lot of other choices of cases, too, in case your son is a gamer.
