Old Man's quiet gaming computer

I've had this computer since late 2011 but have just recently got a new case. I couldn't take the noise from my CM Elite 430 anymore. In my next computer I'll definitely get a modular PSU as the cables are a lot nicer.

Looks really nice and clean, a massive upgrade from a CM 430, I bet, especially in the noise and cable management department.

I like the balancing in play here! Also, would you say the amount of silence that the case gives is worth the $100?
