This true. My PC sounds like an old beaten up Trabant, but for god's sake it works.

Ow and my case is fine example of "silence over design", it has 2 fans, the PSU fan and a 120mm fan on the bottom and the "walls" are covered with rubber foam of sorts to keep it silent. Sure, it's quiet as hell, but it also heats up very fast.

Here's the best part: the case is called "Nexus Breeze"
