I'm looking to get a new case that is well sound insulated. The case has to fit a full ATX board and GTX480 card. Looks does not matter I just want it to be well sound insulated. Any help would be well appreciated. I will be doing AIR cooling
 


I'm not so sure about this. What is really well? Maybe you guys need read and learn bit more about cooling?

No it is not. It just makes noise more.. look this. Noise dampening material makes nothing difrence to noise levels. Here it is said. 4min after start. Noise may be deeper not quieter. So it is better buy quiet parts to build than quiet case? If noise dampening material is not working so well that all think it will work?

No way Define R4 is silent. No really silent case needs noise dampening material. . Do this need? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DezNtDZYQBQ

If fractal define R4 is hotter than other case? Can it really be silent? No.
Because it needs more fan to make better air flow. No case makes any noise untill you push button. Right? Then it comes down to fans. If you need fans to cool your build down. Then you have noise? If you have no fans in your system. Then it is silent. Cood case do not need more than one 120-140mm fan to make it cool enough. So is fractal define R4 a good silent case with 3 fans ? IMO no! :D How silent you want?
I do think that Noise Blocker PRO 700rpm fan is too loud. How about you? :)
