I'm trying to find a PC case that is quiet while keeping the stock fans in place. My budget is between £50 and £100. I've heard good things about the Lancool 207, but I've also read that it can be pretty noisy with a humming sound. I'm prioritizing noise levels over temperatures, as long as the temperatures stay around 80 degrees Celsius or lower. Any suggestions?

While I can't point to a specific case, a good rule of thumb is to look for cases with larger fans. They move more air at lower RPMs, resulting in less noise. Also, try to pick a case that has ample airflow, thanks to big openings. This helps fans push air with less resistance, which can help keep noise levels down.
If you're looking for a case with large fans, the Cooler Master HAF 500 is a great choice. You might also want to check out the Montech Air 903 Max, which comes with several fans. Both could fit your needs for quieter operation.
Which one of the two do you recommend?
Thanks for the advice!
