NZXT Whisper Case Review

Thought I'd give a heads up, saw a review for NZXT's (first?) attempt at a quiet case.

The restrictive upper chamber means this cant really be used for gaming set ups. The large number of 3.5' at the bottom, if coupled with some 3*5's on the upper chamber might make this a good case for file servers though. With bay converters a total of 19 HDD can fit in that thing.

Hmm, quiet PC, and 19 hard drives. Conflict of interest anyone? haha
This is NZXT's second go at a quiet case, the Hush was the first. Shame that unlike Antec, NZXT keep the crazy bright Blue LEDs on their quiet cases, kind of ruins the effect really. The pair of 80mm fans above the PSU is an interesting idea.

You can always add a kamabay or similat for better airflow in the upper chamber.
