I Ordered the P182 from Ebuyer yesterday morning got it at 11 this morning. I love it I can close my case without worrying about a system crash . Idle CPU temps of 35 .If it is a bit louder than expected. I am a little disappointed as the cables from my modular Hiper are a bit to short to take full advantage of the cable management and the plugs for the modular Cables are a bit big and are very awkward.

So I have 2 questions how can I reduce the noise of the Case Fans ?

and Can you suggest a PSU that will reach and fits Nicely in the P182

That's a mid ATX case so any ATX PSU can fill in. Don't know about your bidget. A good quality 400W should be fine for your rig. With feature upgrade in the mind, maybe get a Corsair 550VX PSU. For modular PSU, go for Corsair 520HX.

Permanently connected:

19" cable for main 20+4-pin ATX connector
19" cable for 4x12V EPS12V
19" cable for 2x12V AUX12V
Detachable:

2 x 21" cable for 6-pin PCIe connector
2 x 31" cable with three 4-pin IDE drive connectors
1 x 16" cable with two 4-pin IDE drive connectors
6" 4-pin IDE to two 12V only 4-pin IDE connectors (meant for fans)
6" 4-pin IDE to two floppy drive power connectors
2 x 25" cables with two SATA drive connectors

Would definitely recommend the 550VX, have one and love it

Regarding the case fans, what setting do you have them on? With all on "Low", I find them pretty quiet, but obviously Medium and High are a lot louder. There are two switches on the back and one attached to the one in the lower chamber.

currently, the noisiest part in my PC is the GTX's fans and some weird noise i assume it's from the HDD (or one of the mobo's chock)

i recommend Corsair Hx620w. as many people here have it, it is a very well built, solid power supply.

for quietness, i would recommend putting all fans on LOW, and make sure you've got a good fan on the CPU, because most noise escapes from the top vent. i currently just bought two Yate Loon Noiseblocker, doing push-puul on the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, and my god it's quiet, at full speed, i can still hear the GTX's fans (at 80%)

Yeah, set the rear and top fans to low, and the bottom one to medium since you won't hear it much. Adding a fan to the front for intake can help with temperatures too.

Add my recommendation for the Corsair PSUs. My HX520 is very quiet and the cables are long enough to reach without trouble.
