I just bought a antec p180 and its so damn silent, its like my computer isnt even on, the only noise i hear is my hard drive! i also packed it with zalman 7700 all copper and their dual heatpipe vga cooler (with fan). AMAZING!

No, it's not. The fully 100% passively cooled Zalman heatpipe case is the 'silentest' ever.

Not exactly true. A case is just a hunk of metal which wont make a noise unless you bash it or its dropped :p

But yes, the Zalman case is the closest to silence with a working PC inside.

The Zalman passive case has no way to stop HDD noise.

Silence is an absolute quantity. You either have it or not.

Your case is very quiet. Congratulations.

There are SO many people who don't understand this and call something "more silent" or "silent" when it's merely quiet or quieter...
