From personal experience I can say that the type of 120mm fan can make a big difference in sound level. I have an Antec P180b case (sweet), and replaced the normal Antec fans with Nexus fans. The difference is huge.

As for the cooler: it's bit, it's heavy, it's good. But I would consider some extra support. I have the normal version, and it's already leaning over a bit. And I replaced the normal Intel mounting system with a bolt-through kit with backplate. At the very least, you need to be *very* careful when moving the case around; wouldn't want to have the cooler demolish your computer...
