Hi. I'm searching for a silent case - in other words a case specifically built to dampen noise from the components inside it.
So far I have looked at Coolermaster Silencio 550 - http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6702
A coworker has one and it is dead silent, so this have impressed me, but otherwise I haven't really found other similar cases.

My main focus is noise, although it will probably face a conservative cpu-overclock along the line.

My question is this:
a. Can you recommend other alternatives?
b. Will they be able to support the components listed below? (here I'm primarily thinking in terms of airflow, as I would reckon that these silent cases is weak in that regard)

Looking forward to read your inputs!

ASUS P9X79 PRO
Intel [I7-3820 10 MB] or possibly [I7-3930K 12 MB] with Noctua NH-D14
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 660 Ti (2 GB)
Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2 TB
OCZ Vertex 4 Series Solid State Disk 128 GB
Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4 GB
Samsung SH-B123L
Corsair Professional Series HX750W

I wanted to pick to that case but changed my mind . U need airflow to keep ur components cool inside the case and 550 its not for this job.

U just need some quality fans and maybe a fan controller to lower the noise . I suggest u to take a look at some other cases .

Maybe tell us ur budget ?

Thanks for the inputs so far.

Price is not that important, unless the case is extremely expensive.

The NZXT Classic H2 looks really nice....
