    Well its really not that loud at all but u can definitely notice the fans. I have like 7 fans in my case, including the 2 in my PSU so I obviously hear something.

    Lol, yeah I do. Dude u think the noise is bad, the LEDs are fucking annoying. When I raise my head in bed (my bed is facing my pc) the LEDs shine in my face.

    I'm buying a new case soon as well.

    I'm mostly focusing on getting the thing as quiet as possible, and I've found this one site to be helpful:

    Take a look at http://www.silentpcreview.com/article216-page1.html for example.

    LMAO yeah, the six front led lights on the front of the case are a pain in the ass. But luckily you can disconnect them, via wires...

    I have the X-Dreamer in black. The lights aren't too bad, IMO. The fans were way too load for me. I swapped them for some Panaflos. The PSU it comes with is utter crap as well. I would suggest anyone who gets this case to get a better PSU.

    Also, for those who want to turn of the front lights: The best thing to do is get some of sort of external switch that's used for cathode lights. If you want to turn it off permanently, there are 2 2-pin molex connectors. One is for the thermometer. The other is for the lights. It's one of those. Thought you would like to increase your odds of disconnecting the right one.
