What are my options for a small and stylish case? Quieter the better.

It will house;
720be x3 AMD
am2+ mobo (on board sound)
512mb card
 
How much do you want to spend? Will it be an mATX mobo, or do you need to accommodate a full ATX? What's your idea of style; Lian-Li/Silverstone or Antec?

+1 for size and looks, but like all lian li there not really the quietest cases are they. Though all the same most certainly aren't the loudest

Do they use a noisier type of aluminium :confused:

If everything is properly mounted, i've NEVER had any vibration problems in Lian-Lis. The side pannel rattle is simply down to the fact they're generally light. Properly tighten up the thumscrews (with a screwdriver if required) and they don't rattle.
 
A05B! It's supprising how much you can fit in there..

Tis what i mean about the noise, lol noisy metal :D
 
If OP is looking for a quiet small (ish) case and is by chance using a matx motherboard then i would have to say, look at the antec mini p180 :p

But for full atx, not really much else worth looking at other than the a05 ;)
 
If only the PSU was at the top I would have got one and not the super cheap (but smallest full ATX case in the world) that I did. GMC R2-toast

If you only have a few HHD and build systems with 3 fans or less in your pc it's a cracking little case. Just soooo basic it can't rattle :D

PC-X500 from Lian-Li is also nice - if you have the budget
