A big help is to buy a fan controller so none of your fans are ever running at 100% Two fans running at 50% are going to pump a little more air and do it much more quietly than one fan at 100%. Just backing a fan down to around 70% makes a nice difference. I have done this in a couple of my builds and it works quite well. The downside is you need to have more fans.

If you want to spend the money, Lian-Li has some very quiet, very well constructed and very nice looking cases.
