Hello!

I want to choose a silent case for my studio?.

Would be a bad choice a silent steel case ? Better than normal cases ? Worse ?.

And aliminum ?

Can I have other kind of troubles with a steel case ? Or aluminum?.

Thank you !

I am not sure if aluminium or steel would make the big difference considering noise.

From my experience you need efficient, silent fans, silent aftermarket cooling, a silent psu,...

It always costs, but ofcourse I don't know your financial situation, so if money isn't an issue, you could see if this does what it promises: Zalman TNN 300

The fans are creating the noise, steel or aluminum wouldn't matter. Thermally the aluminum would win, but you were just looking for silent.
