Just seen this and I'm quite keen on it... I have to pull the mobo out to fit my new HSF so I am thinking that as I'm fed up with the Lian Li (Lian-Li PC-7B PLUS II Aluminium Midi-Tower Case - Black) case I have, this might be an option...

I was looking at some of the reputed quieter cases but really don't like the design of a lot of them :(

With the 902..

A) It has filters for the fans, and the room the PC is in can be quite dusty for some reason. I like the idea of not having to remove and air-dust my fans now and then.

B) I have a load of Noctua fans so I think swapping the ones that come with it could result in great cooling and very little noise indeed. The Lian Li is a right sod for resonance.

Would this be a good bet?

EDIT: Hrm despite it being a bit bland, the FT01B-W might be a better bet noise wise.

The 902 is really designed for cooling; if reducing noise is an aim, you should look elsewhere - all those grilles and vents don't lend themselves to acoustics.
 
The filters are a pain to access you have to remove the drive cages it's not very practical.

902 is great for cooling but it still has noise due to it's a very open case.

what about Antec 300?
