New case - need suggestions!

Hello!

I'm going to upgrade my pc when LGA2011 is being released, but i've already started looking into cases, but i can't seem to find the perfect one for me.

First of all, i need my case to be as silent as possible. Right now i'm running a mildly modded Lancool PC-K62, where i've replaced all the fans (they started making ticking-noises after some time, and were generally pretty loud), but i really like the fan mounting system, which also makes the fans more quiet.

I have tried fractal design define r3 and define xl, but the noise absorbing material was FAR too heavy, and didn't seem to work at all.

Other things i want in a case are the possibility to build a water cooling system (preferrably with 2x140mm rad) and enough room for a 6970 (6990 if its doable).

So, to sum it up:

- Extremely silent

- Preferrably Lancool-style grommets for fan mounting (or something alike)

- Not too heavy, with unecessary parts like fractal designs noise absorbing material

- Room for 2x140mm radiator and big GPU's

- Size doesn't matter that much

- No more than 250$

Any suggestions?
 
Ok, thanks.

Any experience with lancool PC-K63?

Seems like i can fit a 2x140mm rad on top, with 140x20mm fans beneith.

Yes, i like Lancool!
 
I'm leaning more and more towards external watercooling, and maybe a rad inside the case to use the free space, and for the extra cooling.

Which of these cases (or any other) is the most silent?
