Hi guys
I need some advise on buying a new case.
Its an i7 system with a basic graphics card and a modular corsair 650.
I have recently built 2 systems in Lian-Li cases and find that they vibrate a little too much.
The requirement is a powerful system for Photo-shop which needs to be very quiet and not too over the top with the styling.
The budget is upto £200.

Thanks
 
Not all Lian Lis have soft mounting for HDDs, like those with hot/quickswap SATA backplanes so if you used those vibrations are to be expected in them.

So it would be "work" PC without need for gaming graphics card and maybe more than couple HDD bays for extra drives.
Also you're probably after mid tower size.

New Fractal Design would be obvious candidate.
And Antec's P18x is "classic" though newest one is more like bling version with that tacky door. (Sonata is quite small)
Lian Li has B10 (imo unnecessary complex HDD mount) and B25FB
 
Silverstone FT01 is also worth a look.

You can pretty much make most cases quiet though just soft mount the hard drives I use sewing machine elastic and suspend them in the 5'25 bay.
