V_R's Tsunami Dream :)
I ordered a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream last week, and got round to rebuilding my pc in it yesterday.
 Its a great case, light but strong, easy to build into, and has fantastic cooling. I lost 5 degrees off the case temp with another 4 degrees coming off the CPU temp, and thats with the fan controller turned down to its minimum of 2400RPM. (3000RPM on the old case) Its comes conplete with 2x 120mm 1300RPM fans front and rear and a 92mm fan in the side blowing over the CPU and RAM. I had a bit of help from a friend of mine, and i enjoyed the build and learned loads! Anyway heres a review of it if you want to know more. Bjorn3D And some pictures of mine.

Ian, its barely audible! Its on 24/7 and doesn't do idle. If it wasn't for the lights i wouldn't know its on!
Its in my main living room so it needs to be quiet as i watch t.v and stuff in the same room. The Tagan PSU is silent, and the Gigabyte cooler is whisper quiet at low rpm's. I put the pics in the gallery now.

Looks good, VR
Consider some wire wool, primer, matt black spray paint and lacqeur for the beige optical drive I mounted the speed control pot for my Gigabyte cooler and the on/off switch for my neon lights in a spare external 3.5" blanking plate, looks a lot neater. Just a suggestion
