Hi and welcome
Not sure what case you are considering, but you might want to Google WD's new GP-series. It is a 3.5", but VERY quiet.

Western Digital's Caviar GP hard drive - The Tech Report - Page 1]"While most desktop drives spin at either 5,400 or 7,200RPM, the Caviar GP's spindle speed lies somewhere between the two, and Western Digital won't say exactly where."

"We expected the GreenPower to be energy-efficient. What we didn't expect was the drive's incredibly low noise levels. The GreenPower makes less noise than any other 3.5" drive we've tested, particularly at idle, where it's barely audible. That makes this drive perfect for home theater PCs, where its terabyte capacity is ripe for HD recording, and also for silent desktops where noise levels take precedence over performance."
