New quiet case wanted

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am after a new case for my pc. Midi size is about right. I have a quiet pc but not 100% quiet. What is the best case to get to help quieten things even more but with good ventilation?

Heard Antec do some nice ones but not sure which one would be best. Ta for any advice.

Midi size you have two choice if you want Midi sized Antec that is designed for quietness:

P182 or Antec Solo. P182 has slightly better cooling and great cabling possibilities. Solo has good ventilation, on the box HDD suspension and good gabling possibilities as you can tug extra cables next to 3,5" bay and it has no door and its lighter than P182.

However the hardware would be nice to know before further recomendations.

Antec Solo looks like a nice one.

I don't think you can go wrong with the Solo in this size range. I've used one for a year and the only criticism I could make in that time was that the power LED was too bright (so I disconnected it).
