Hi,
I'm planning on this lot. Later on, I plan to add an Asetek Waterchill CPU cooling kit - KT12A-L20/220V 10mm to it. Which case should I be looking at?

I want this thing to be QUIET! :)

Pick any full-sized or file server tower that you like and that is within your budget. From the gear your purchasing it looks like budget shouldn't be much of a concern... you can get "cheap" full sized cases on e-bay for $35-$50, really nice ones from $75-$150, gorgeous ones for a little above that, then you get into the realm of Lian-Li, Supermicro, Coolermaster, etc server towers up to about $275.

Decide if you want steel or aluminum (steel tends to have slightly better sound dampening qualities from my experience (but that's easy compensated for on an aluminum case with sound dampening foam), aluminum is supposedly a little cooler and much lighter.

Start with looking at:
Lian-Li PC75
Lian-Li v2000
Lian-Li v2100
Lian-Li 7077a
Coolermaster Stacker
Coolermaster Stacker 2 (coming soon)
Supermicro SC750a
Yeong Yang YY-0221 (not a fan of this case)
Enermax SOHO Case
Thermaltake Kandalf
Thermaltake Circle
Silverstone Temjin
Antec SOHO File Server Case

Blah, blah, blah... I'm a fan of Lian-Li cases myself but others will disagree... that's the beauty of modding... it's all about making it your own. Find a case you like with enough room, read a few reviews to be sure it's quality... then start hacking away.
