Quiet Computer Case?

[sontan]

Guys, i currently have a 5 year old Raidmax case. It has a total of 5 80mm fans and its made of very thin metal. It sound like a jet in my room. I have a high end system so i need good cooling but i need it quieter.

I'm looking for advice on a quieter case made with less/bigger fans and made out of better/thicker material. Any suggestion?

I had my eye on this one but not sure about it yet.

I recommend the CM 690 -

The Antec 300 has adjustable fans and has great airflow and is quiet with the fans set to low.

Compartmentalized with a little damping on it

Big fans that spin slow = quiet with decent cooling.

Posting a budget would be helpful.

+1 to the P182 if it fits the budget.

I forgot to post a budget. I'd like to keep it around $150 or less. I am liking that antec the best so far i think. i like the compartments

I would go with the Coolermaster CM 690. Have had my eye on that one too! Antec make good cases but I have never thought the fans were that great quality, always quite loud.

Fans are not expensive though!

I just checked out the Antec P182 at a local store. I must say, it is built like a tank wrapped in rubber insulation. I may go with that one if i can find one not in a Shiny Silver color.
