Antec SLK3000B
LG GSA4163 16x DVD R/RW/RAM
These were the two parts i was reccomended. I'm happy with the case, but i was wondering about startup/dvd playback noise with the LG drive?
I don't mind loudness when i am burning and i don't mind slowing it down with drivespeed when i am not, but does it react well to this?
Is this drive quiet?

In my own experience, all CD/DVD drives I have seen are loud. I don't think you will get a definitive answer on whether the drive is quiet, for two reasons, it isn't quiet, and if anybody has that drive they won't have much to compare it to.
Who's to say one drive is loud and another one isn't, when they all sound loud? I bought <model hidden> with dynamic balancing, padded front panel, etc (all marketing gimmicks evidentally), and would you know it, it is loud. You can't get away from it. It's always going to sound like a vacuum cleaner.
About the case, it's a good one to get because it has 120mm fan mounts and a regular drive cage, which is a great combination.
Edit: Let me not be defamatory.
