“Silent” Case - Antec P101 vs CM 802 vs Fractal R6

ThoriumEx

Looking for a new case of this style.

I have (positive) experience with the Antec P101, but no experience with the Cooler Master Silent Base 802, or the Fractal Define R6.

 

Any insight or reason to pick one over the others?

 

Using a pretty standard PC in a relatively small and warm room.

3800X, Noctua cooler, 3060Ti, 1 SSD, 1 HDD.

I don’t really mind if the fans ramp up on renders, I care mostly about quietness at medium CPU only usage.

 

Thanks!

Of those I would take Silent Base 802. Noctua coolers like a good airflow and Silent Base 802 would be perfect for it. 
They are all relatively quiet. 
I was planning to purchase BeQuiet 802 but after reviews chose Fractal Design Torrent instead. With the good airflow temperatures are lower = fans don't go crazy. Supposed to be loud case runs quieter than BeQuiet Dark Base 700 which was supposed to be a quiet case and ran hotter so fans were louder. 
 

Case: Fractal Design Torrent;
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO 8GB;
RAM: G.Skill Flare X, DDR4, 16 GB,3200MHz, CL14;
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH D15;
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3;
PSU: be quiet! 700W PURE POWER 11CM 80+Gold;
SSD 1: SanDisk Extreme PRO 500GB PCIe x4 NVMe;
SSD 2: PLEXTOR PX-1TM9PeY 1TB SSD
