Installation (continued):

Speaking of cool... Now that everything is installed and running, what about those fans? Well, I would record it for you, but unless you're in a very quiet room you'd never hear them. They are just barely audible and not a single note of a high pitched whine. Nice!


Unfortunately the fans are going to lose NXZT a few points in the review. While they are very quiet, they do not have that little yellow wire that lets you monitor and control speed. When you're marketing a case with this many fans, and call it the "ultimate in quiet cooling", you need to make the fans more controllable as your target audience is going to be a person with a high end system that is capable of running a lot of fans.

All of the intake fans have filters on them. Depending on your point of view this is either great or horrible. Personally I like it. Where I live now we have very low humidity and because of that we seem to have a lot of dust; more than I ever had previously. So while I need to watch the filters, it keeps that junk out of my computer, and that to me is priceless.


If you take a look at the bottom of the case in the below right image you will see that there is no fan on the bottom, just a filtered intake vent.
