Looking for a quiet case

Hey there!

I'd love to direct you to a website I found somewhere, but I can't quite remember the URL. It was something like silentpc.com, but I can't be 100% sure. Just google it!

Uhmm, the only thing I can think of is the Cosmos case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

The side panels are covered with acoustic foam, there are rubber dampeners around the side panels as well, the hard drives have rubber dampeners, the feet are silicon pads...

That case was engineered to be quiet! But, it's about $200...

If I were you, I'd look for a case that has a nice, big 200mm+ fan instead of a mess of 120mm fans. The larger the fan, the lower the frequency it resonates at. Lower frequencies are easier to dampen by rubber grommets.

Look for a case with a couple of huge fans instead of way too many small ones, look for one with rubber stripping on the side panels, etc.

Bear in mind, unless you're liquid cooling, you are 99% of the time sacrificing cooling power for noise dampening.

Mmm! I forgot about the P180 series!

Yeah, still pricey, but quiet. Also the same with the P193...

The P193 is the same with a nice, sound dampened 200ish mm fan on the side.
