    Little fans will whine unless run really slow which won't move much air, big fan running slower will move more air more quietly.

    But probably not practical to go bigger for to case size, nothing's ever easy

    To be honest, the case isn't 'ideal' as Steve pointed out and whilst I know the thought of fans is like sacrilege to the audiophile, there are silent fans which could be useful in this case.

    Lots of fans in Pro gear which you can't hear.

    Have you guys considered making one of these with remote volume control?

    Hi Edward
    How's you.
    I have a remote setup for the Khozmo
    It cost more than the attenuator and is a real pain to fit so I've not bothered for the time being.
    The other option at the same quality and easier to fit so I'm led to believe is the Acoustic Dimension
    There are cheaper and easier options but I'd rather not use the blue alps pot.

    I'll get round to fitting mine one day.

    Hi Oliver
    The fan if silent is a great idea but the hot air still needs to be vented out of the case.

    Cheers Steve, I'm fine thanks.

    Yes I think you mentioned when I was over that remote was a pain and/or expensive. But still would be a good feature - particularly for lazy old gits like me.

    Have it set to draw the air out. Like a vacuum. It's not an air tight case so should suck sufficient air out

    The Acoustic Dimension is so much easier, and smaller. It is as good as the Khozmo IMO.
    A control board to match can be had very cheaply from China.
