Reading over the ATX specifications, it indeed looks that reducing EM Leakage is a major design criterion. That's not to say that every case manufacturer follows these guidlines-- far from it.

Thank you so much for all the positive feedback, everyone. Very nice. Next you could cover case and sides with biumen mat, self adhessive floor tiles or roofers tape. They will increase mass and help killing resonance and vibration. That would be the next step, but there are two problems. First, tho...

Quieting the cheap and dirty way
So, a while ago my brother was given a computer left over after one of his freinds upgraded. It's actually got decent components, but the case is a disaster acoustically. Desperate for relief, he turned to me for help, hoping I could make a few cheap/free mods to give him his quietude back. The rig ...

Awesome
Excellent find-- I've been hoping they would start selling Nexus stuff for a while now.
EDIT: Looks like they also have the Nexus Value 430 for $80, and silicone softmounts for $3

Well, thanks for the advice. I made some changes. List Important changes: Swapped Ninja for Mugen 2. Changed PSU for the VX250; SPCR's review makes it look great. I don't get the combo deal, but the MIR compensates. Thanks for pointing out the WD Green. I knew the're 5400 rpm, but didn't notice the ...

using a power supply with an 80mm exhaust fan might prove quieter and cooler in that case, following the path of airflow, rather than pushing it in a new direction I should have phrased it better. The PSU will be "naked" and passive as well. Not sure what you are planning for the fan control specif...

VECT: Scratchbuild cool, quiet case.
Hello, Â SPCR. Recently, I've been looking into building a new rig. While I'm there, might as well go and try to do better than the manufacturers design-wise! I had thrown around some ideas for a quiet ATX case for gaming hardware, but nothing really seemed perfect. However, after reading the review...

I was just shopping for a new rig, and I think that I'm gonna buy the 1,600 rpm version. My reasoning that all of them have the same basic noise/airflow ratio, and all of them can be undervolted to silent. However, the lower speed versions cannot cool the pile of magma. I will be using a continuous...
