Any quiet PC cases in the system configurator?

I'm trying to put together a system using the system configurator. I'm going with an i7 4790K (with 10% overclock), Raijintek Themis Evo Pro - 120mmTower Cooler and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Windforce 3X OC 3072MB.

I'm mainly looking at the Midi tower options, I'm hoping to have a PC that isn't too huge and is nice and quiet. Problem though is I can't find any cases in the system configurator for either "Midi Tower Gaming PC" or "Midi Tower Pro Gaming PC " that mention being quiet or having any sort of noise dampening or anything like that.

Overclockers actually has a selection of cases that have been specially noise-dampened http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=2180&catid=2195 but they only seem to be available as things that you buy separately, I can't choose them using the configurator.

Post in the customer service forum. They will build whatever you want within reason but don't forget the components are just as important as any case claiming to be quiet.

As above, loud coolers on CPU's or GPU's, HDD noise etc, are all things to watch out for.

I have an amusing spec to my second rig... I have a fully sound-dampened case, silent fans, a Silent Pro PSU, "silent" large CPU cooler with low RPM fans, and SSD's.

And then I have a GTX480... Which is one of the loudest GPU's there is!

Ah, thanks for the advice! I've picked all my desired components and will post them in a thread in customer service tomorrow.
