Help Deciding on a new case

[Ultim8]

Hi,

Right im after a case for my server something solid and silent/quiet, the server is never under any serious load and is just used as a torrent server and file server for my media centre.

I so far have the Antec P183 and the cosmos standard as an idea but also have another ask of the case apart from it being silent it needs to be able to fit a 3 bay 5 drive icydock into it, now some case's seperate each 5.25" bay with supports that prevent the sliding in of the icy dock as one unit.

Now my nine hundred had these but i straightend them out.

So Silent is the key factur as this is in my lounge.

Cheers

Ulti

Nowadays most cases seem to have those support tabs so excluding them might limit choises rather badly.

apart from it being silent it needs to be able to fit a 3 bay 5 drive icydock

Hard HDD mounting isn't quiet so door (with airflow space behind it) is must have. Also some mass damping to case wouldn't be bad thing.
That leaves just few options... like that P183... Lian Li PC-B10, which should fit well to furnishing:
