#65 - Question/Answer: Silent Computer Cases

Q. What are some of the best silent computer cases?

A. The Antec P182 is excellent, checkout more at http://www.antec.com Also Nexus has the Caterpillar Case and the Zalman TNN-300 Case. The other option is to purchase quiet fans and/or sound dampening material. Also checkout these sites: http://www.endpcnoise.com, http://www.quietpc.ca and http://www.quietpcusa.com

I wonder what you think about the Thermaltake Chaser MK 1 case?

[gippula]

which one has better airflow? antec p182 or define r3?

[lobaxx]

What about the Fractal Design Define R2? I just love it, don't realy care much 'bout the sound so filled upp some of the available fan slots, but compared to a, lets say Antec ninehundred, well it's as quiet as a mouse!

if you want the MOST quiet rig you can possibly have, then you might want to consider putting your PC in a tank of mineral oil, lower-end PC's don't even need the heatsync's, while the higher end ones (an actual gaming rig) might need some heatsync's and some specially modded fans (clip off some of the fans legnth)

just look up something like "mineral oil pc mod"

no noise, excellent cooling properties, and cool looking, too!

The Antecs have it all figured out, the new 193 is even more quiet than the 182. IMO NZXT makes inferior cases. They have not thought much about air circulation and is way too cramped. Ambient temps will eventually fry your components which is what happened to me. Since then I have switched to a Antec P193 which is a superb case.

there is an easy mod. I used to get a pair of pantyhose from mom. LOL!!! cut to size and tape it on the bezel in front of fans. Works great and virtually free. Doesn't impede flow like automobile air filter paper. Try to get a black pair. Flesh colour ones look gay unless you have Noctua fans. LOL

the 932 is on sale where i live. I might end up grabbing one. I love the low noise and high airflow fans.
