Really quiet case

[byron_hinson]

Looking to replace my old cooler master case which has been excellent, but I'd like one that cuts down on the noise from all the fans yet still keeps it all cool!

I've been looking for a case like this since late 1994. So far, none can be found below £400 mark.

Antec 1200 is surprisingy quiet for the level of cooling it offers, it just looks like crap.

That one leaks noise


Antec P182 is surely quietest case without modding but if you want lot of space for drives and long graphic card Lian Li A71 has that and very silencing friendly feature set but requires installing damping mats.
(as good thing everything except basic frame is assembled with screws so it's easy to dismantle for that work)
Also stock fans are rarely good noisewise.

Here's good article about what to look for in cases
