Case for silence

I want to silently (as close as possible) cool the rig in my sig.

For those too lazy to look down, it consists of:
Q6600 GO @ ~ 3.2Ghz
Scythe Ninja rev B
Gigabyte EP35-DS3R
8800GT overclocked w/ Accelero S1 (passive)
3 HDDs (2 in raid-0)

This rig is pretty hard to keep silent in my current case. I am using a cheap Asus that only allows 80mm fans :(

Now what I am looking for is a case with sufficient cooling for high end components, but I want to run it 24/7 so silence is key. Also I'd like as small as possible while accommodating a full ATX motherboard, I think the P182 is not a bad choice, but it seems rather large.
Also I hate the look of Antec 900 type cases, I prefer something cleaner looking, like Antec P182, Silverstone TJ04, etc.

Does my case exist??
 
My Antec 900 is silent with all of its fans on low. Even then it still pushes more air because of the bigger fans.
 
Thanks for that info, but the Antec 900 is the one case I specifically stated that I hate the look of.
 
Check out the Antec Solo, Sonata Designer (if you don't already have a PSU), Sonata III, or NSK6580. They're all pretty quiet cases.
 
I have the Antec Three Hundred and it is not too bad and I have the fans set to medium and 2 yate medium speeds in it
 
the Lancool metal boned k10 has soundproofing on the side panels, uses 120mm fans. I see that as a good option
 
IIRC the P182 is a mid-tower, so it actually wouldn't be that big. It's one of the best cases out there for silence, so if the size is the only thing that was putting you off, I would suggest you just go for it.
