If you want quiet optimize for quiet and then put it on a stand to get
the height. The MA01BD is probably not the best starting point for a
quiet machine. If you want a reasonably quiet case out of the box then
go with an Antec Sonata, which you can further silence with suitable
mods. An SLK-3700 or an Evercase 4252 would be a good starting point if
you're planning on modding though. The Sonata, SLK, and Evercase all
have provision for rubber-mounting the drives--the Antecs come with the
pieces, I'm not clear on whether the Evercase does--it's cut to fit the
E.A.R. drive mounts available from McMaster though.
$20 Wheel set to go with above.
$70 Super Tornado 300. Silent power supply.
(etc.)
Earplugs are cheaper.
