Since low noise is important to me for a case, which case is the loudest with putting LC on the chip only and standard fans being left in? I would be choosing probably between the HAF932,  750i,  or the 950i.  Just curious as I just read that the HAF case was to some a little noisy. I like the look of all cases and really like to have audio input at the top.

I have the 950si with the extra side fans installed. It's a bit noisier than most computers that I have had. It's a pleasant tone, not shrill or anything. However, you can definitely hear it.

I'm not sure how this compares to other cases offered by DS.

The HAF, with LC has no reason to be loud, the noise comes from the fans, you adjust the fans to run low and you make the noise very low or not noticable.

but if you gonna decide make it between HAF and 950si, personally I like the better airflow of HAF that comes with the case stock, so the HAF is my choice.

But to each his own.

Not only does the HAF have the best cooling, but it's also the quietest. It's fans are rated at 19dBa.
