How quiet are you finding it?
What voltage are the case fans on?

That's nice. I like the way the motherboard is like upside down. What are the benefits of that?

Keeps the cpu away from the psu seperating the two largest sources of heat and lets you have that wind tunnel device, giving the cpu independant airflow from the rest of the system.

These cases are great for quiet systems, the only real competition is the Antec P180 which does it the other way round (psu at the bottom in a wind tunner)

I've heard of people recommeding Panaflo, but I came across the ThermalTake Thunderblade, which apparantly manages 78CFM at 21dB (for the 120mm version). Has anyone had any experience with it?

to be honest with the wind tunnel a high cfm fan isn't too important, try running your current fan at 5V, it won't be silent but if your only after moderately quiet it will do
