Well OK, yes, its another "spec me a case thread" 
Sorry to bore you all silly, but I do think its my first case spec me thread!
The problem is that my trusty 350W PSU in my Silentium case appears to be on the way out, PC keeps shutting down at random, wont boot back up correctly for a while - I'm testing it now under a spare 300W PSU and its fine as far as I can tell.
The Silentium case has the PSU permenantly fixed in place, so it looks like it may well be time to ditch both. Had about 6 years service 2nd hand for £42, so cant really complain at that for value
So what I need now is several case recommendations.
1) It must be QUIET!
2) I dont want some angled, edgy, wierd shaped space invader.
3) Budget - Ideally not much more than £70, though nothing is fixed and i'll pay more if I really love the case.
4) No light gantry / mega millions of lights all over it. Some subtle lighting is OK, but I sometimes game in the dark and I need to see the screen not glaring lights.
5) Case side window is irrellevant, as the PC sits with the left side facing a wall. I wont discount any cases with side windows, but there's no real need to have one.
So far I like this:

and this:

Despite the mention of a flimsy front, its not exactly pricy so could be a cheapo option.
Sorry if that sounds a picky/awkward list, I'm open to suggestions and advice as I really know nowt about cases and this current one was the first proper PC case I ever owned.
Ta muchly
