Sounds like the Antec Sonata, SLK3700, and Lian Li 6070 would be candidates.
Here's a list of cases with 120mm fans:

Panaflo L1A 120mm fan is unbalanced
I just ordered 2 Panaflo FBA12G12L1A's and both of them are unblanced. The fan will walk across the table, wiggle in your hand, or shake your entire case. I am not impressed with the lack of attention to detail Panasonic put into these fans.

Re: Fortron 120mm vs 80mm
I emailed Fortron in Fremont and here is what Danielle Choi, Fortron Sales Manager, had to say: "FSP 300 60 BTV vs BNV ** BTV - vent cut outs are on top of the unit whereas BNV has the cut outs in the rear of the unit. You may also look at the FSP300-60ATV which is a much quieter model." The latter...

Hey nocturnal! I'm almost done with my D8000 project. Loaded with silencing goodies. I've been taking pictures, and will have a full report on the case (possibly a secondary report to Mike's upcoming report). I can tell you that you need not worry about the exaust 120 and the PSU 120 conflicting. Th...

I think that SPCR should defainately do a review on this PSU, and test it for noise levels. Especially since Fortron/Sparkle are known for their superb electronics. I've never tried the Nexus myself, but honestly, I don't know how the Nexus could be any quieter. The Sparkle will be my new standard P...

I'd say it's moving a small amount of air. I'd guess around 30 cfm. The 120mm fan rpms are really cut back. I can say this, because I know what it sounds like at full speed (during the initial start). I would also guess that it's running around 5V or less at idle. Keep in mind, I've only run this wi...

My report
Got this PSU fired up. Here's my report: Umm... Wow! Before I heard this PSU in action, I thought that I may want to swap out the 120mm fan with something quieter. Turns out, this won't be necessary. This thing is so quiet !! From 2 feet away, I have a hard time hearing it! When you first power it u...

Hmmm... you may have persuaded me to not choose the NMB. I will definately be in the 5V-7V range. I don't want buzzing or clicking. I'm thinking about a Papst then, although they are out of stock everywhere, and I don't know if they will start at 5V. I don't think I'll have room in the D8000 case fo...

Well, I've ordered everything except the 120mm fans. And I think I'm just going to kick back and take my time with this case. I'm going to see how well I can keep the cables organized, install the AcoustiPack as best as I can, I also bought the new zalman fan controller . (That'll be a challenge to ...

Quiet NMB 120mm fan bulk order
NMB has a sweet fan I have my eye on. Similar specs of Papst, but cheaper: 4710NL-04W-B10-P00 http://www.nmbtech.com/pdf/dcfans/dc4710nl.pdf 120mm x 25mm 27 dBA 59 CFM Newark.com has them, but they need to be bought in quantity of 20 :( I can't find them anywhere else. If I ordered 20, I'd be keepin...

Wow, you are right, the 13dBA difference would be much better than 1/3rd quieter. Did my math wrong. But nonetheless, we're getting a bit off topic. The point is, I sooo glad that Fortron/Sparkle came up with this model. I have not fired up the PSU yet, but if the 120mm fan is too strong at 12V, I'l...

There is another way to look at it. Example: 80mm fan pushing 53 CFM = 39 dBA 120mm fan pushing 55 CFM = 26 dBA Since noise is doubled ever 3 dBA, the above example shows the 120mm fan is 1/3rd as noisy as the 80mm. Granted many of us from this forum wouldn't be using fans at high CFM, but the point...

Wow, 133 views already. Nobody knows of any other cases? Did I get them all? I am really looking forward to getting some new cases with 120mm fans. I know first hand how quiet 120mm fans can be. Especially when you run a pair of them in series which drops the voltage to 6volts each. I'm going to mak...
