I had the sn95g5 (V.2) for a while (before it was stolen). Nice SFF case! Managed to reduce the noise up to a point too, but got stuck on the whiny little fan in the power supply. Unless you're going to do some major power supply mods (basically moving the psu out of the box with all the connector problems that entails) you'll never get this box quiet enough for a fronmtend you can live with. Not sure about the 25p. looks lovely and as I understand it has more (but possibly larger and standard sized fans you can swap with quieter models). I'm currently running a Biostar iDEQ 330p. there's one non'standard axial blower at the back, but this is really overkill except for CPU intensive stuff. I've swapped the other fans for SilenX quiet models and can honestly say that the noise level is very acceptable now using pwm fancontrol (you need to load the it87 module with the fix_pwm_polarity parameter). You might want to take a look at it as a possible alternative.
