I have a couple of Antec Overture cases here - they are nice and quiet.
Well, they are once I found the fan connectors on the PSU! Got them
secondhand from someone on here.

I use the Zalman Super Flower cooler
(http://www.quietpc.com/uk/amdcooling.php#7000b)
but be aware that on my
mobo (an AMD board) the cooler extends past the edge of the mobo so I've
had
to mount my HD in one of the front 5.25" bays rather than in the nice
Antec
frame.

I'm sure I saw a BenQ drive with a set of three fronts - including silver.
