I am pretty sure they are 140mm fans.

Several things make it almost silent;

1. It weighs a flippin' ton!! (Really dense materials so no vibration)
2. Sound dampening material on all panels.
3. Large fan mountings to use slower large fans.
4. Rubber mountings for every device.

As a guide on how quiet this is, I have it in my bedroom on 24x7, and the only time I can hear it is when I'm playing games (and it gets a bit warmer). If I remember correctly, it comes with two almost silent fans, and I added a third. I also bought a higher rating PSU than I need, just so it could run without the fan being on.

I think the windowless version (the one I have) is slightly quieter, but this isn't far off.

​ quiet enough for me. I record voice overs on my pc from time to time

​I own this, Yes the case fans are silent on the lowest settings - there is a three speed switcher in the front of the case. Medium speed mostly inaudible, high speed audible but not offensive, it's quite a nice tone rather than a high pitched whine. However you need to make sure you don't ruin the quiet with noisy stock cpu fans or noisy gpu fans. It does come with sound insulation but I don't have the windowed version.

It comes with heavy (sound deadening material on both side panels (not if you buy a windowed version obviously), then on top there is more sound deadening material in the form of 3 square modular vents, each or all of these top vents can be removed to accommodate top fans, there is a single square modular vent on one side panel to add a side fan. The front door also has sound deadening material. It's a very quiet case if that's what your looking for, I paid £75 for mine before this offer and really like it, I stuck a Noctua NH-D15 air cooler in mine and for most of the time it's silent, I can hear the fans when gaming but they never get loud It really depends on the quality of your fans.

It has mats on most of the inside panels. Pretty damn quiet until you fill it with fans.

Not a kit, no. Various bits have been purchased or donated to me over time. :smiley:

When your PC is powered by hamster wheel it's easier to just open the window and drop some food in.

Some people have lights and colourful ram and things

None, really. My Lian-Li cube has a clear top and it's occasionally interesting to watch those fans whirring away :stuck_out_tongue:
On the other hand your cable management will always be on show... Some builders also like case lighting, though I'm not keen.

It's just a Glorious PC Master Race thing, peasants won't get it.

On the right systems it can look quite classy IMO. I love mine.

So that you can show off your build. If you don't have a window you have to find an excuse to post a picture of your inners on various internet forums.

In other news; I managed to fit a full watercooling set up in my R4...

​i had the same problem... eventually switched out my 4 x hard disks for SSDs and the problem was solved.

regarding the button on top, I have mine set-up through windows to not turn off if pressed, you would need to hold it down for a few seconds before it did.

Yeah, its got quite a bit of room for cable management, more than enough for even a bunch of thick cables. It's wide case so it'll fit pretty much everything. If you mean 12cm, it has holes for 120mm and 140mm.

Great case, I paid £85 3 years ago and haven't had a reason to upgrade.

Airflow and extendability. Given the right motherboards you could fit 3 graphics cards, many HDDs and liquid cooling, leaving enough space for the air to flow through and therefore keeping temperatures down (and the cooler it is, the slower the fans have to be).

@Coldo: Personally I'd go new (you never know how well cared for, or uncared for, a second hand PC is...). Older CPUs and Motherboards can by got quite cheap, so it's worth having a shop around and setting a budget. Also keep an eye on https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ under completed builds - people post expensive and cheap builds all the time.

It's not even that big! Check out the Cooler Master Cosmos. Now THAT is a big tower. A friend has one. I'd never seen one and he mentioned his case was on the large side. I couldn't believe the size of it when I saw it. About the same size as a full size suitcase. I reckon I could almost curl up and fit inside the thing!

(But he's obviously filled it with cheap fans as it makes a hell of a racket as well where my R5 is practically silent)

around christmas i put together a pc based on the venerable g3258, a 750TI and a mini-ITX motherboard - it's able to play any current game i've tried at medium settings, is very low power/quiet and absolutely tiny - i re-used some bits but you could build one yourself for £300 from scratch - building is easy.

i'd not buy a 2nd hand complete one unless it's off someone you know - if it must be small-form i suspect you'd not even find any except ebay and frankly you are better off buying the parts (the bits i listed are very capable but pretty much 2 generations old now - you can get them super cheap from ebay if you want to take the risk). if it's not for gaming most modern processors (especially AMD ones) come with a fairly competent built-in graphics chip so you don't need a graphics card - with a SFF powersupply you'd have something the size of about 2 dvd cases placed side by side and perhaps 5 flat dvd cases tall.

I have Neptune 280L fitted, have to lose the bottom drive caddys to keep the rad inside to be able to still use the dust filter on the outside. The dust you see in case is from about 8 months so not bad.

I've got an R5 with a 980ti, 2 x case fans and a Noctua 140mm CPU cooler. Near as dammit silent as well. Excellent cases. It's a decent size so plenty room for airflow.

Not sure why the moaning about Scan either. Used them for years. Had my first ever problem with anything from them with the above system. GFX card (980ti) was DOA. Phoned them at around 3pm on a Saturday. Explained the problem. They sent me a replacement card via DPD next day. Had the replacement by 3pm on Sunday. They then collected and RMA'd the DOA card a couple of days later. Service seemed good to me.

It's the latest drinks cabinet, they have fans now to keep your drink cool.
