Lian Li PC V1000P vs V1100P

I've been looking for a new case for my system for awhile now as the noise from my five 80mm case fans is driving me nuts (even more so since one of them started to make some awful squeals and etc). I have decided on going with Lian Li PC-V series, so please, no posting/flaming about how the P180 or w/e is a better choice. However, I have yet to find any reviews/comparisons between the regular V1000 Plus and the silent V1100Plus nor have I seen any using the latest high-end hot power sucking hardware.

Does anyone know of some reviews/comparisons I may have overlooked? Does anyone who has either have any benchmarks of the temperatures and noise produced in either one? (I've read over everything the search comes up with here, so pointing to other threads here would be redundant.)

For reference, I'm currently running a P4 3.0C @ stock and a 9800pro. Planning to switch over to an A64 X2 and 7800GTX in the next year or so. I know the pc-v1000p and 2000p are capable of cooling them, but what about the 'silent' v1100p and 2100p? As for a PSU, I'm looking at the Seasonic S12-500 as its is over 80% efficient in benchmarks but the cables seem a bit short for the 2x00 line and I may need extenders, is there any other efficient ones but with long cables?

Also, does anyone know where they sell either the 1x00 or 2x00 series in Canada that isn't a rip off or a place in the states that ships to Canada? I checked vibe/ncix/tigerdirect and only ncix has a v1000p for $278 which is somewhat expensive. (Another Cancouver based place had them but charged well over $300.) Xoxide ships to Canada but they charge $89 for the shipping because of UPS's awful brokerage fees.
 
I always loved those cases, but they're too rich for my blood. I would assume that the V1100 would be quieter, since it has the case door and seems to be focused on quiet operation. With a good aftermarket heatsink (XP-90 or better) you'll easily be able to cool anything you want, and even overclock if you so desire. I personally prefer the looks of the original V1000 series to the V1100, but that's just me. Let us know how it goes.
 
The V1100 will be the quieter (and better looking) of the two cases.

Having said that noise is compromised 95% of the components you choose to put in it and 5% the case itself. This includes CPU HSF, GPU HSF, case fans, HDs, and the PSU which you seem to have taken care of.

That leaves the heatsinks/fans on the CPU/GPU then. The 9800pro isn't that bad for noise, compared to the CPU anyway. The CPU's cooler is pretty awful and it likes to fill up entirely with dust within a month and I have to remove the fan to clean it out. Any recommendations? Something that I could use again with a A64 later.
