Whilst browsing and performing general office tasks the system was generally inaudible. Once we started to load the system the Zalman cooler produced 41 dBa which can be too loud when you keep the system on the desk.
looks like a good build, never heard of them before mind you. so would be concerned on the viability of warranty
Bitfenix must have sold billions of these cases – awesome.
