Looking for good case that is not heavy but quiet

[looker001]

I am looking for a case that is not heavy but at the same time is quiet and cools well. Does this 3 combination go together, if so i haven't been able to find it.

Anyone have any good recommendation?

It would be helpful to know what you consider heavy, quiet, and cools well. What are you putting in the case and what will you be using it for?

Sorry for not providing more details. This is the system that I will be building

I am looking for case that is less than 40-50 empty. Basically a case that is move around without feeling you're carrying a brick. As for quiet, keeps enough noise in the case that it will be hard to hear the fans. Cools well is basically keeping temps down at reasonable temperature.

Antec P180 series.

However there not light.

The walls are padded and insulated, and the case is by far the quietest case i have ever gotten to work with.

Silverstone Fortress FT01. These cases are fairly light and is quiet, insulated side panels 180mm fans.

I just built a similar system And used a CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000. This case has been very quiet and cools well. Weighs about 37 pounds empty.
I've been very happy with it, I barely notice it running sitting right next to me. Hopefully that doesn't change when I install the GTX 295 this weekend.

40-50 dollar case is gonna be hard expecially if your gonna be installing a large class sink inside.

Also if possible i would change that board. Im not very happy with Crapsus lately.

The giggy or eVGA is a much better choice.

I don't mind paying over $100 for case if it's a good case . thanks for advice on the board will look in to gigy or evga boards.

My first recomendation is the giggy becasue of the 2oz copper board.

Then will be eVGA because eVGA's RMA service is second to none.

Also looker, ask any P180 owner, they will all say there is no case in comparsion to a P180 when it comes to silence.

Thank you both suggestion, being that p180 is midtower, will i have any problem fitting everything in the case?

As for boards, again thanks for suggestion currently reading up on both of the brands.

Nice sounding setup, but I'd add my vote for gigabyte as well. I have a P182 and am very happy with it. It should accomodate your setup nicely.

yes a true will fit inside a P180. it will be tight but it will fit.

My Lian Li PC-F7 just came, and this is the lightest case I have ever owned. I have already trial fitted my system including a EVGA GTX 285 and I have almost 1 1/2 inches of room behing the card before running into the 5 1/4 cage. They are on sale at the Egg.

Do you mean PC-7F?
