i have a haf 912 w/ front intake/exhaust @ 200mm fans. It isnt noisy at all, and is quite a good case for the price. The GPU is the loudest thing in my case, and is much more audible than the case fans. What i did was i bought the reg version of the 912, and then bought 2-200mm fans and installed them myself and got more out of my money, and chose my own color... if you put a ton of fans in the 912, esp 120mm fans and dont have a fan controller then yes, it will be noisy.
