Quiet PC Project

[Andromeda1983]

Picking up my Corsair H80 has allowed me to finally move onto stage 3 of my Quiet PC project with only the case left to replace now. So I thought I would ask you guys what case I should be looking to buy in 2 weeks time. My budget for this case is 100 and I do not need anything big because I am only housing a MSI-P67-G45 with a silent graphics card from Gigabyte and have small needs for hard drive space (Hell I dont even use the internal 5inch bays at all), infact all I'll need room for will be my H80

Stage 1: Quiet GPU + SSD = Complete
Stage 2: Quiet CPU Cooling = Complete
Stage 3: Quiet Case = In Progress

Any preferred designs? A good budget choice would be the xigmatek Midgard (I don't like the led fans, but you can save money for a quiet PSU wich you didn't mention yet). My last case was a Scythe Fenriswolf - twice as expensive, but good value for money as well (100% aluminium, comes with some cool extras).

If you want something quite, you could try the Fractal design R3 cause it has sound damping and slow spinning fans. Also i don't know how quite the stock fans are on the H80 so you might want to replace them as well.

I replaced them with 1850RPM GT AP-15's, nice and quiet and quite effective. And yeah the Fractal Design R3 looks pretty nice, the Arctic White version looks amazing
