I build a system for a client to run some video rendering he picked the Corsair 550D with a x79 platform I had never seen the case before in person. The build quality of the case is great the sound dampening foam is a nice touch I also liked the front door that will open both ways. Funny thing is the client ended up selling the computer to a colleague in less than a week I ended up just build him another system with a few upgrades (Hex core and 64GB of ram

) but stuck with the same case.

Having tried two Corsair, one NZXT and two Silverstone there is no competeition for silence and performance. Silverstone all the way. The rest are just ugly to me ( personal opinion unless modded properly).

write in vote.. again no coolermaster cases in the poll.
my vote is the haf-922 picked up two for 79.99 ar after promo codes two different times this year.
this case has 3 200mm fans at 700 rpm and great airflow. paired with a clc cooler and a clc mod on the video cards it works wonders and has tons of options and space.

Thermal take Soprano is only as silent as what you put in it. Does nothing to suppress loud fans
