I'm on the hunt for a PC case that prioritizes quietness but also has good dust filtering and airflow. If it happens to have no RGB lighting, that's a bonus! My budget is up to $200, which should cover fans and foam as well. Here are my specs: CPU is an R7 9700X, motherboard is B850M Aorus Elite Wifi 7, with 32GB of Adata XPG Lancer Black 6000Mhz RAM, a 2TB SN770 SSD, an MSI 3060 Gaming X graphics card, a Corsair RM750X Shift PSU, and a Pentawave Z06D EX BK CPU fan. Thanks for your help!

I’ve got my eye on the Be Quiet! case. It’s designed specifically for minimal noise and should fit your criteria pretty well!
Check out the Fractal Design Torrent. It offers amazing airflow, but just a heads up, it might be a bit noisy if that’s your main concern. Those stock fans can get loud!
If you want a case that balances quietness and airflow, I recommend the Fractal Define R5. It has sound-absorbing foam on the panels, which greatly reduces noise but may compromise airflow a bit. The Define 7 is another decent choice, with good dust filters that are easy to clean. It’s great if you prefer a black case without the glass—more soundproofing that way!
Yeah, I’ve heard the same! Great for cooling but not the quietest option out there.
