Since most consumer cases come with power supplies and most power supplies 
have a fan, well, yes changing the case can make a difference. Or maybe just 
getting a new quieter power supply for the case you have will help. 

Computer noise comes from the fans and the drives - about the only moving 
parts in the computer.
