Looking for a quiet case

[hipppy]

I'm looking for to build a quiet PC within reasonable budget limits.
I have bought the following -
Abit Fata1ty AN9 Mobo
AMD X2 4000+ CPU
BFG 8800GT 512MB video card
Creative Audigy2 ZS sound card
2G OCZ DDR2 RAM
Antec Trio 650W PS

I'm using the USB out to E-MU 0404 external soundcard, which then connects to my main audio rig. I'm looking for a case that is quieter than your average case.

Newegg seems to have a good deal on Antec P182.... Is it really that much quieter than others, say Antec 900? Or can i save a bundle by getting any other case?

Thanks!

Few cases have been designed as narrowly for quiet as has been the Antec 180 series - perhaps the Arctic Cooling Silentium series but it comes with a proprietary PSU OEMed by Seasonic (SVC.com has a nice sale on one model right now). The Sonata series is also designed for quiet. The Rosewill R5600 or R6A series are good for quiet systems too.

Antec Solo is a very popular case in the silent pc community. This case sometime go on sale for ~$20-$30 after rebate if you look for it. I bought mine for $20 after $40 rebate at Fry's a few months back.

I love my Antec P180. Best case I've ever owned.
