silent Mini-ITX case

[Shkarius]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build small silent pc.
what should be in:
CPU: i3-6300
CPU cooler: Nofan CR-80EH or Thermaltake Riing Silent 12
No Graphic card
Power supply. Haven't made final decision. Probably Seasonic SSA-1201 +Pico-PSU or typical ATX with 120+ cooler
1 SSD+ 1 HDD
2*8Gb RAM

So what i'm expecting
* silent
* nice design (white color is preferable)
* really small size
* place to put at least 2*2.5 drives. 1*2.5+1.3.5 is preferable
* price should be under 150$
The only I found are Thermaltake core v1 and Fractal design node 304. Bot most reviewers mentioned that these case are not for silent builds.
any advices?

How about going with HTPC case? Here's a list of HTPC cases that have at least 2x 2.5" bays and are under $150,

That was my initial idea. But almost all of them looks ugly (IMHO). I really like devices like streacom fc8 or hdplex h3. But price + import duties + shipping cost and total price for such devices will around $250-300. I'm ready to give 200 for such fanless case. But have't found any cheaper solutions

Hmm... how about Bitfenix Portal, Phenom or Prodigy?

Prodigy specs: https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy/

Bitfenix Portal has interesting design and it looks like an art piece.

Portal desing is really great, but "not compatible" with my house design).
Phenom is really nice as inside as outside. I'd prefer to have 140 or 200 coolers instead of 120, but need to read reviews before. Thanks a lot
