What case p182 or 900 for........

I think a 182 with fans on low, during a summer in gaming rig will be too toasty inside. But then on medium or high though.. annoying the HD fan doesn't have the switch at the back, unlike the two upper fans.
using a 182 for my htpc, how much quieter are "very quiet" fans ie the 8db noctua, compared to the 182 rear (single one only) on low? The inner fan doesn't cause much noise, since it's inside the unit. The loudest producer of noise is the rear case fan.

Got the case yesterday, and its not as big as I were expecting, I wouldnt thought it isnt much bigger the my wavemaster inside.
I changed the 3 fans then I got my new system in it, never bothered about tidying up the cables. What a mess it was when I had finshed, theirs litery no where you can hide the wires. You can poke some through the holes on the motherboard tray, but you cant have meny wires going behind the tray cos you cant get the side panel on, if theres to meny wires going behind.
since I had to send my motherboard back for a replacement(new 1 comming monday) I spent all night last night sorting and tidying all the cables up, so when I install the motherboard all the cables will be in the right place just to connect up.
must have spent a good 6-7hours trying to make the cables as tidy as poss. Here are my efforts. If you have any ideas how I can tidy them up more plz let me know?
