This is an absolutly awsome case and is about the closet thing your going to get to silence. I just finished reviewing it and I was very very happy with it.
I would have absolutly no wories recommending this case to anyone who wants a silent PC. The front of the door is also silcon coating and etc so it helps reduce noise on optical drives.
EDIT: Its also worth taking note that PCCG got the case with more features so while other reviews may say its crappy the one that PCCG brang in is awsome
Aussies can get it here for $195AUD, although they do take inetrnational orders

Decision time - Sonata or this....No 120mm fan like Sonata. NO PSU either.
But it looks much nicer IMO
The thickness of the door and the particular material chosen helps keep the noise inside the case. When you compare this case to something like the Antec Sonata which is also aimed to keep noise down, you notice instantly that the X-21 case has gone those extra steps to make it even better

It's listed on Neweg for $90 but unavailable. "ETA 9/30/03" along with the NEO Classic. They keep pushing this ETA date back though.

Wow, this is such a glowing review. I'm skeptical, though. I've been taken by some glowing review comments relating to noise. I'd love to see what someone here at SPR would think about this case.
