I am building another computer for my neighbors.
Its going to be a Nforce2 chipset (32bit stuff =p)
I have an Xaser III + 92mm fan on slk 900u and its loud + trueblue 480w


What is a good quiet case with good airflow. 120mm fans possibly? and what is a good, QUIET psu for this. for reference, IMO the trueblue 480w is not quiet (at least mine isnt =\)
 
I love my setup, the Silverstone case w/ dual 120mm's, and my OCZ Powerstream. I have a 120mm Panaflo on an XP-120 and still can hardly hear anything.

For a cheap solution go with the Antec SLK3000B (dual 120mm fans) for about $50 shipped, and a Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu (or AlCu) for about $45 shipped. The Fortron Blue Storm 500W PSU seems to be relatively quiet for me, though you should check out silentpcreview.com for more info.
 
Antec Sonata + Seasonic PSU + Zalman CNPS7700 HSF+ Arctic cooling VGA Silencer = 1 really quiet system
