One problem with its cases , they suck at supporting 1080ti cards, as most are 2.5 to 3 slot cards !

Their thermals rise quite a bit , NZXT 200 can think a 3 slot card just but temps are very high as there's hardly any air gap !

Might not be cool or quite but had power and is about the size of a shoebox !

Small, quiet and high performance pull at three opposite corners of a relationship. You will be looking at compromise here - you won't get absolute silence with a 1080 Ti under load.

I'd say water cooling may go a long way to helping keep temperatures down, but that said - SilentPCReview did an excellent build in a Corsair Carbide Air 240. Aftermarket air cooler on GPU, AIO on the CPU, inverted airflow. I've had similar success with inverted airflow in a cube type case.
