Best silent PC case?

[GFC_]

Hey all,

 

I'm looking into getting a new case, preferably mid-tower. I was looking for something that has excellent sound dampening. What are some good cases to look at that are very quiet (without KILLING cooling, obviously).

The silent base series is very good

I like the bequiet silent base 800. Just because it looks nice. the fractal design define cases are also good choices.

The 600 looks better than the 800 in my opinion.

Yea. Be quiet or the Define R5/S no side window.

I think officially the Define R5 in stock configuration is a sub 25 dBa case...

Yep 21.2 100% load tested.

Keep an eye out for the new Corsair 400Q coming out mid February to March as another option. It has a nice clean look. No optical bay either for better airflow. It's expected to retail at $99.
