Need a silent mid-tower with good airflow
Last response: in Components
Hello,
I need a new mid-tower case for my new build. It has to have good airflow, because I will be OC'ing. I also has to be silent. By silent not only do I mean silent fans, I also want sound dampening materials like rubber around side panel and HDD mounting to prevent vibrations.
The rest of my system is:
Mobo: Asus P7P55D-E
CPU: Intel i5-750
Cooler: Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B + Akasa Viper fan
VGA: MSI R5850 Twin Frozr II
RAM: 2x2GB Kingston 1600 CL9
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB 64Mb SataIII
PSU: Chieftec CFT-750-14CS
I don't need a Christmas tree in my room, the case should be simple looking, preferably with no leds(or at least I could control them and turn off)
Currently I'm considering a Thermaltake Element S. Any better ideas?
Please discuss

More about : silent mid tower good airflow
The Coolermaster HAF 922 is a very nice mid-tower with huge fans for plenty of airflow and is also pretty quiet. Chances are the loudest component is going to be the gpu, whether nVidia or ATI.
If you opt for the GX460, certainly get the 1GB model as opposed to the 768MB model as the 5850 is a better option, according to the reviews.

You will find no case that is silent while offering good airflow to help with overclocking, you may find some that are more or less quiet, but silent, no.
Possible options for you could be the 18x as already mentioned by 13hmonkey, another could be the Cooler Master Cosmos.
