The Antec 900 is a great cooling solution to those who air cool. If you dont like to hear fan noise, stop being cheap and go water cooled, its pretty much your only option. Any fan your going to hear over time, degredation, vibration, yadda yadda yadda. I have my 900 under my desk, and its the quitest computer I have. Point being, there is no perfect air cooled solution. If you want quiet, then cough up the cash, all those who whine about air cooling, get over it. Its what you got, now live with it, guess you should have saved up a few more bucks.
