This case im working on now has very one main goal. And that is complete silence. The idea is to have the case "soundproof" meaning there wont be any holes for aircooling. Only thing going in or out will be cables (power, dvi, usbs etc) and water. Interior will be covered with polyuretan (some anti sound material).
All components are wcooled, still there are parts that cant rly be placed under waterblocks for obvious reasons, so you have to cool them somehow. The tric is to place another rad inside of the case which will cool the interior air. May sound weird, but it works, have used it my second case.
If u have any questions sugestions or crticism go ahead i apreciate feedback.
Progress: moved to new case, now up and running, still some work to do tho.

Note: I will be working on the cables and hoses, this setup is just for a test how it fits and goes together. Also i will need to add the 240rad to cool the interior before i close the case.
Some chosen photos:
HDD cooling mount with silencer pads
PSU mounted
mobo
in the rail
snake pit... wish i had modular psu
everything plugged in
THE rad... got it for 10usd yay
note the ugly surfaces of the aluminium sheets... those plates are from local bakery, basicly for free (they made cakes on those, so thats why are they so messed up, but its not that difficult to fix - will be done before painting)
