I am putting a new system together a little at a time when I find deals.
I am stuck on case info overload.
There are To Many cases to pick from.
I was going to go with a Antec 900 till i started reading allot of reviews that they sound like a jet plane.
I don't want to spend more then about $120, less is much better. Mid tower, good cooling, quiet, wont be over clocking this rig, its for the wife

I have read SO many reviews on SO many cases I have info overload, my brain is ready to explode, I dont need anything super slick looking just good quiet efficient cooling.

Thermaltake?
Antec?
Coolermaster?

Those are the three I have been looking at

One more thing that I cant find much info about
The Fans? I thought the bigger the fan the quieter it is? So a 200 mm fan should be much quieter the a 120mm fan?

tx for your patience and help Im sure there's a similar topic in here somewhere, but I didn't see anything close

If you are not building a monster pc why not take coolermaster rc-690. It is big and provides very good airflow and its also much cheaper than a 900. A 200mm fan provides much higher air flow than a 120mm fan at lower speeds. So it should be quieter. But if they run at the same speed 120mm would not be quieter.
