Am looking to build a fairly quiet system and think I have my case narrowed down to these two. The SLK is cheaper which is nice but I have a feeling that the SOLO is quieter. Anyone have some thoughts on this? Thinking about putting in a Corsair HX 520. I considered the P150 which is the same case as the SOLO but in white with a 430 power supply. I decided against it since I have read about so many people having problems with that PS.
I think the Solo is quieter because the side panels are sound dampened. It also has a hard drive reduction system. The exterior also looks solidly built, meaning there is very little openings that allows sound to escape.
The SLK3000B uses only full steel side panels and it has the side vent holes and many many tiny vent holes in it's constuction , meaning that sound will easily escape making it more noisy.
