I would vouch for my own case.
Which case for a HD 5970?

Even on low this case is far from "super" quiet IMO, it's 5x 120mm fans and a huge fan on top. I have mine set to high and it's basically a turbine, though the difference between low and high doesn't seem to be that much. Maybe 30% quieter? The noise doesn't bother me though, I have a friend that always complains about the computer noise, even when its on low, though.
Either way it's an amazing case... and your computer won't be quiet with a 5970 inside of it. The card itself is going to very loud under load might as well drown it out with a somewhat loud case.

maybe your side fan is loud, or your cooler fans.
I am really picky to have my PC really quiet and even lowered my 4870x2 volts through it's bios to have a lower fan speed.

The Thermaltake Armor, Antec 1200, and the HAF are all very well-built, reasonably priced, and roomy cases for a monster graphics card like a 5970
Oh and they all don't look half that bad either

are you talking to me and about my 4870x2? If so, undervolted doesn't mean underclocked.
My 4870x2 is undervolted with stock clocks so I can have my fan running @ lower rpm's and still keep my 4870x2 cool.
If you don't need as much volts, why leave it there, save on power with less heat to deal with right?
