Query: Stock Cases That Are Quiet

[PJNeary]

I'm looking to build a Duron-700ish system. May or may not OC. Will probably use KT7-RAID, so 2 HD + DVD + CD-RW. I know I'll need a 300W PS. I'm soliciting opinions on *stock* cases which are quiet. I've read over the posts on this fan and that power supply, but are there any stock cases out there (mid-tower) which are very quiet. On my short list are:

- Enlight 7237
- Antec SX830
- Fong Kai 320ATX

Don't want to spend more than $US100 or so. Appreciate any suggs. If you think I've *got* to go out and pick fans and PS's separately, I'll take that into consideration also.

TIA,
-PJ

From what I have heard the Fong-kai should be very quiet, but so should the SX830. It comes with one of the quieter Power supplies on hte market(pp303x Antec 300W unit), and some quiet fans(24dBa, 24CFM, they aren't the ones antec sells).

yes the Fong Kai would be the quietess due to its heavy contruction of plastic. The bigger then avg 120mm & 92mm fan outputs and ducting action its got is nice, you'll be able to throw in low RPM fans that are very quiet without sacrificing too much airflow.
