I'm a few hours away from pulling the trigger on a new GPU (EVGA 970 SSC ACX2.0+), as well as a new case.

 

At the top of my list there is currently the Be Silent! Base 800, largely because I'm coming from a CM HAF932 that's about 6-7 years old. The large fans themselves are quiet, but rattle in the case quite easily. So I'm really in the market for something that's both decent, and quiet.

 

The high-quality fans and the sound-dampening materials like the rubber mounts in the Base 800 sound like an excellent feature to me, and the design in general looks like it should be a lot more quiet than my HAF932.

 

My question, if I even really have one, is whether this is the case I should go for with an £80 budget and a great yearning for much more silent running?

There isn't a quieter and directly competing case as far as I know.
