On Antec cases how important is the Quiet computing feature. I'm looking at a case like the PlusView 1000AMG here and I like what I see. But it doesn't have quiet computing and I don't want a rip roaring loud machine.

I could never get my old Antec 1040 quiet enough even using 80mm Panaflow L1A case fans. Bought a Antec Sonata that uses 2 120mm fan's under volted and it's finally at a noise level I can except vs case cooling needs. I can actually hear the low humm from my 21" monitor it's so quiet now:(

So if your going for quiet you might need a case that uses 120mm fans.

I guess the things i'd like the most are a clear side door I can open up, that doesn't make too much noise. Wouldn't mind having a fan on the door though.
