Need a quiet case recommendation

[mikecLA]

Looking for something to build my LGA2011 rig around. It needs to be as quiet as possible (will be used in a recording environment), no windowed side panels or lights, and be able to accommodate a Corsair H100 without mods. Not sure about how I'm going to cool a GTX580 in it, so that will probably be on stock air for the time being.

I looked at the Cosmos1000, but not sure if it will work with the H100.

Corsair 500R with Noctua or Noiseblocker or Enermax TB Silence fans.

Heh I was getting all set to recommend The Fractal Design Define R3

Then you said H100.... If you would be willing to try and find a way for it to fit, or instead get an H80 I'd say this case is what you want. Good wire management, sound deadening, plenty of HDD space and nothing flashy.

500r may not be a bad choice, there is a button on the front you can turn the lights off with. While it does not have a window, the side panel is mesh so it is a little see through.
