Coolermaster 832 CPU Cooler options.

hiya guys and gals.

I am thinking of getting a coolermaster 832 case.
Was just wondering if a thermalright 120 Extreme cooler will fit in the case ok?

My other case options are :
Lian Li PC-A10B
OR Antec P182

Also, are any of these cases recommended for keeping nice and quiet?
I want to keep the PC as silent as possible. So if any of them are really loud, I think i'll avoid them!

Any advice is greatfully recieved!
Cheers

I am also wanting to whack a few lights in the case to make it look pretty, and light up my desk.
Now, the Lian Li and Antec cases have no windows, so whacking lights in them may not show up very well.

So the Coolermaster case is winning on the prettyness side of things.

BUT, if its mega loud with those grills on the side, I think i'd rather go for one of the others. I can't stand noisy cases!

So you would recommend the Coolermaster?

If I cut the side fan casing, could I keep 2/3 of the fans in place, to cool the graphics card and mobo?
Seems a waste to take the extra fans out.

That is interesting.

So with the Thermaltake heatsink, this case is not for me.
Perhaps if I went for the Tuniq cooler? Does that fit?
(I hear it is a top performer, nearly as goot as the 120 Extreme).

If I wanna keep the 120 Extreme heatsink, will the Antec P182 be an option for a case?
The only other one i've seen is the Lian Li A10...
