Please advice:
Something like NZXT 810 to be able to put 360 radiator on top but realy silent case.
At the moment I have Antec 180 with Noctua D14, and 3 very silent case fans which all together makes completely silent idle computer but still very efective cooling while under heavy load.
Now, I would like to go water cooling way but not to loose any silence.

Problem with NZXT, by looking video reviews seems to be too thin material with no dampening at all.

Thanks

Did not see the part about the 360 requirement, you could go with what I have a mountian mod Pinnacle, I have the 24;

I am just now piecing my new rig altogether, you could easily mount that 360 on top. I went with the tripple 120mm fan on top, even with the PSU mounted up top there is about a 4 inch clearance between it and the top to easily mount a 360. Or better yet go quad fan on top and mount the 360 in the first three top fan slots leaving the one above the PSU as an extra heat exhaust for it.

I am using Yate Loon fans rated at 20db in mine, have not put in the fan controller yet, even with out the controller it is surprisingly quiet. With some noise dampening material and and a fan controller I think it is going to be virtually silent, and there are quieter fans than the Yate Loons available.
