Good quiet pc case with a window?

Frix

Got a pretty cheap case at the moment and want something that still has a window so I can admire the goodness but something that dampens sound well as I am going down the silent road when it comes to upgrading parts, anyone got any cases in mind?

Windowed panels can't be sound-dampened though so generally windowed and sound-dampened are mutually exclusive :\

Fractal uses a thicker acrylic than most cases, so it's not that bad. and as Airdeano said, your computer is as loud as your loudest device.

I'd go with the Fractal Design R4. I don't have the windows as I don't see the point of it, but it's very quiet and looks good too.

I would go with the Fractal Design Define R4. I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned it yet. Weird.

Why is everyone recommending Fractal Design Define R4? The case is ugly, at least for me it is...

Just like everybody here, Fractal define r4. I swapped my case from a corsair 800D to a fractal r4 white windowed, and it is dead silent and looks AWESOME

You're a minority. R4's are beautiful to most.
