Hi. Pick one of the given cases listed below and tell why I should take it rather than the other. I like all of them,

Planing to put in neptun 240m (if you know better in this category, recommend) and a gtx 1070 G1 Gaming (3fan cooler)

Looking for silence, but I don't know which one or if any of them are on their own a reason enough to buy. If you own the given case,  please tell me your experience with it. 

 

Cases: NZXT Source S340 https://www.nzxt.com/products/s340-black

            NZXT H440 (with or without window? recommend) https://www.nzxt.com/products/h440-black

            Cooler Master Silencio 550 (or 550s? recommend) http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/silencio-550/

            Cooler Master Silencio 652s http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower-silent-series/silencio652s/

 

I know characteristics. I'm looking to have a positive pressure (or neutral, but not negative) to cope with dust build. Which case is good for that?

Also the Neptun 240m (2x120mm+rad) will draw air INTO the case from the front. Keep that in mind.

The ramaining fans included with the case will draw air OUT. Is that okay?

 

I'll be grateful for any information you provide. 

P.S. If you have any suggestion on your own or have a case that is similar to these, please do tell :)

Out of all of these I would pick the H440. Simply because I think it looks the best and because it can take three 120mm fans in the front.
But personally I would rather take a Fractal Design Define S with a side panel window and sound dampening.

H440 is a very nice case.

for positive pressure, 3 intake for each exhaust (due to the intake fans are filtered and have a degraded airflow rate -50%). then decrease intake fans to match rear fan output.

for neutral pressure, 2 intake for each exhaust (due to the intake fans are filtered and have a degraded airflow rate -50%) if fans are the same.

mount the 240m in the front with extra 120 fan to feed the GPU.

About the extra 120mm in the front. So you're trying so say i should put one fan on the other side of the radiator so there would be 3fans total on the neptun 240m. And if i did that, one exhaust fan in the back would be enough?

the 2 fans of the 240m on the top two pots and the third on the bottom:

yes, a single exhaust fan is fine. you'll prolly have all on some fan control to equalize the pressure.

oh i see you're putting h440 as an example. How would i do it in let's say NZXT source s340? it only has 2 front fan options. like all of the other cases.. is it possible to have a positive pressure?
