I've been using liquid the last 1.5 years, but I haven't maintained it, now there's so much gunk in it that I've gotta dismantle the whole setup. Since I don't do any sort of overclocking and I don't do a lot of gaming anymore. Maintaining this system just isn't worth it for me.

I'm considering moving back to air.

I've got a 8800 gts, 780i mobo, q9450 cpu. corsair TX650W psu, 4 WD Hds, 4 raptor drives.

I looked at the solo and p183, but obviously they won't be able to hold all my hardrives. I'm currently looking at the Whisper and HAF932.

What's the quietest case that can support all my stuff? I'm willing to spend up to $250 for the case. Another $150 on dampening, fans, and coolers.

I'm going to pick up a fanless GPU and CPU cooler as well.

Any suggestions?

The 1200 is quiet if you switch the fans out to Yate or Gentle Typhoons. It does hold 9 HDDs stock.

If you want quiet, go with dampening. But I can't think of any of those cases off the top of my head that would hold 8 hd's...external dock perhaps ?

yes it comes with a 5.35-3.5 converter for floppy drives/small flash carad readers. yes they should be universal.
