Silencio 352, Deep Silence 4 or Define Mini?

Post by NathanH » Wed Aug 12, 2015 7:07 am

Hi!

Which case would you recommend overall?

It will be used for a living room, quiet, low resonance PC.
I like the SD card reader on the Cooler Master.

Most likely I won't change the CPU cooler, but I might if the Intel stock cooler (i3) is too noisy. Then the Cooler Master might not be the best choice because not all coolers fit?

And is the WD10EZEX as good as any 1TB 7200RPM drive or are there better, quieter options?

Welcome to SPCR.

Is that all that's going into this case? An i3, a single HDD and a card reader? If so, there are smaller, better solutions. If not, what's the rest of the build?

Thank you.

These are the remaining components: 1 2,5" SSD, a WLAN card, an ATX PSU, a mATX motherboard, a 5,25" DVD drive. The hard drive is 3,5". The SD card reader would be built in to the case.

The PC is used in the living room for "basic" tasks. E-mail, web browsing, light photo management and editing, etc.
