Hey

Im in the process of getting a new PC (build below) and im stuck at what case I should get, I want one that has good airflow but also doesnt make a lot of noise.
I was thinking about the Antec 900 or the HAF 922 mid tower what do you guys think would be best with the build below?

OverClocked Intel® Core i7 Quad Core Processor i7-930 @ 3.8GHz + 8MB Cache
ASUS® P6X58D-E: DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, 3-Way SLI
6GB CORSAIR XMS3 TRI-DDR3 1600MHz (3 X 2GB)
1GB ATI RADEON HD 5870 PCI EXPRESS
160GB Intel® X25-M 2.5" SSD
10x BLU-RAY RE-WRITER DRIVE, 16x DVD ±R/±RW
CORSAIR 850W PSU (TX850) 80+ ULTRA QUIET
TITAN FENRIR EXTREME DIRECT TOUCH COPPER CPU COOLER OR A COOLMASTER V8 (NOT DECIDED YET)
ARCTIC COOLING MX-3 HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
ASUS XONAR HDAV1.3
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

Any help would be great.

thanks

Depending on your budget and tastes... I'd say the HAF 922 or a Lian Li PC P50

Ive been impressed by the antec1200, its heavy and ugly but its cool and quiet.

HAF 922

I own one and it is beautiful and solid built. Plenty of room for working and excellent cooling. Its also bigger than antec 900. The fans are silent

Stulid for me HAF 922 has a very good and stylish gaming design. Like it is said every one has their own preferences hence the variety of cases that are available in the market. Antec 900 may be an attractive case for many people but it doesn't appeal to me. Even the Antec 300 case seems just plain even though it is well built.

Well, they're both big, ugly, airy, and relatively noisy. Just pick the one where the looks don't bother you too much. (Personally I prefer the HAF to the Antec, but I wouldn't have either).
