These temperatures are certainly good, and are just slightly better than the CM Storm Scout II we recently reviewed, which featured a slightly more powerful fan set-up (1 x 140mm fan + 1 x 120mm fan compared to 2 x 120mm fans).
Clearly, these fans are moving a little bit more air through the system, but has it compromised its acoustical performance? Let's find out …
I think its actually one of their nicer looking cases. some of them are very gaudy
They are getting better, not quite in the same league as say cooler master yet, but moving up the ranks.
This seems a lot like a copy of the Fractal Design Define series – simplicity/minimalist design with a goal of reducing noise. Unlike the Fractal Design cases this does not feature brushed aluminium, but rather the bland, flat, square style typical of bitFenix cases.
How on earth You’ve been able to measure 27,8 decibels while testing Antec’s 302 case, and been unable to do the same thing while testing Ghost chassis? 🙂
