SLK3000 or Centurion 5?

They're relatively close in price... The Centurion has Firewire and audio on the front as well as is a little nicer aesthetically as well. I use my rig for mainly design with some light gaming... Nothing exceptional.

I'm most concerned with quiet and stability... Not really going to overclock. Minimal if I do.

Any thoughts?
 
From my quick look at the the Centurion, it seems to have an 80 mm fan in the front, which could have a large effect on the noise. SLK3000b has 120 mm in front and back. I was looking recently, and Provantage had it for about $30 + 20 shipping. Personally, my next case won't have anything other than 120 mm fans on it simply for the noise.
 
Thanks. That seems like the way to go to me... I wasn't sure if anyone had modded the centurion for a 120 and how possible that would be... I was leaning towards the SLK. I ordered one for a computer I'm building for a school, so I'll take a look when it arrives and see what I think.
 
I own the Centurion 5, I bought it for it's looks mainly and while it's a nice case it certainly isn't silent. I can hear the whir of my CPU fan mainly so I have it running on low RPMs. The case fans only connect to the PSU, I don't have any adaptors to plug the 80mm into the mobo. As for modding this for a 120 in the front, I don't think that would be possible and definitely not worth the trouble.
 
Well that answers it then. Thanks a bunch. I shall go with the antec. Although, it does look quite nice, being quiet is more important to me.
