Chassis/Housing for Intel S5000XVN SATA

I'm looking for a housing/chassis for this board:
Intel® Server Board S5000XVN
It is part of a Workstation environment, so it needs to be relatively quiet. I first tried the SR10769 Chenbro and then the Intel® Workstation Chassis SC5299WS, which I'm now stuck with.... and they sound like Boeings!!
It seems that the most noise comes from the back 120mm case fan.

Any suggestions please its driving nana's!!
 
All the Intel S5000 boards will spin up the fans full speed until updated. I have no experience with the Chenbro case but have built around 12 in the SC5299WS. The first thing you should do is run the Intel Server Deployment CD that came with the motherboard or download the latest version from Intel's website(make sure it is ver 1.2+) - update the bios, SDR/FRU etc. It will ask you what case you have - also make sure the rear fan is on fan header 6 and the hard drive fan(front fan) is on header 1. I have had occation where I had to do this more than once because it didn't take for some reason. The fans will slowly spin down shortly after startup if the update is successful.

Good Luck.
