just to clear up the sound issue:

i have an antec 900, and my bro has an antec p182.

At one point they were about 20 feet away from each other, and trust me when i say they make exactly the same amount of noise, which is almost nothing. If you use the fans that they ship with (antec tricools) on the lowest setting, there is almost no audible fan noise at all without putting your ear about 6 inches from the case. The only thing that makes sound in my case is my 8800gt fan, same with my bro's. If i were to go passive cooling on the gpu, then honestly i think I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between on and off.

that said, the 180/190 looks the better, while I'm guessing the 900/1200 cools better.
