Additional fans of the same type can be added if needed and the fans are 800rpm silent fans with sound dampening on the side and front panels. No picture yet but it looks like it fits your criteria.

This one could also work for your quiet operation requirement because I have the Cooler Master HAF-X and it has the 200mm and 230mm fans and the reason I say it fits the quiet operation is because I have water cooling and so there are no small fans on the video cards and just the big fans in the case ( three of them) , the thing with the big fans is that they move a lot of air but they don't spin at the fast rpms like the small fans so they are actually quieter then the small fans. The small fans make a lot of noise because they spin at high rpms to move the air and create more noise. These big fans are pretty quiet.

One thing you can do is add a fan controller so you can adjust the individual fans and keep it even quieter.

If not then this is the next best thing in quiet cases.

Hi uther39,

Thanks for the suggestion. I was considering Corsair 650D, and yes my budget will reach up to $150 even a little more.

Is 550D better than 650D?

Thank you inzone!

There is a FRYS near my house and I will check out the HAF 922 to see how big it is. It seem pretty bulky but I will check it out.

Fractal Design Define R4!

The 550D is the quiter of those 2 cases compared with the 650d so id defo go with the 550d, the R4 as muffin said is a good choice too, but i prefer the looks of the 550d, its a personal fav of mine.
