Anatomy of a Silent Case


Inside of the case you will find both side panels as well as the top and floor are covered in medium density eggcrate style foam. The foam helps both with absorbing direct sounds from inside the case and also provides dampening for the vibrations which transmit along the flat surfaces. The side panels attach with a nice solid feel but only the front has thumbscrews.  The rear panel will require a Phillips screwdriver to remove.
Other notable features in this chassis include the placement of a foam pad on the PSU mounting surface as well as a pad on the small shelf which helps support the power supply.
