Looking into a new case, want something minimalistic, simple and yet beautiful on the side with the components - obviously a tempered glass was the way to go. I stumbled onto the S340 Elite and I've been more or less sold on it, so now I come with a predicament. How can I reduce the noise of the HDD in the drive bay as the case comes with no dampening material. I was thinking I could use some rubber grommets or something from my current Define R5 and just slide them in or something (lol). But I wanted to know what others thought, any other ways I can go about solving this issue? Aside from going full SSD.

If noise is your issue you might be interested in the Phanteks P400s Tempered Glass Edition

Personally, not trying to sound aggressive or like I don't appreciate your recommendation, it looks like a solid case. But to me, it doesn't look very visually pleasing and honestly, I can deal with a bit of noise more and have a case I like - then having a case I'm not proud of but have great acoustics.

Why not get a be quiet pure base 600 tempered glass?  Same price and super quiet.

Seen it - looked at it - I don't like the orange everywhere. Everything I've heard, stunning case - it looks decent but the orange accents I can't take.

There's a black edition and you could DIY a case to look the way you want and have the size of side panel you want

Haven't seen the black edition - I'll check it out, I probably am going to end up doing some work myself to whichever case I get because I'd like it to be perfect.

the hard drives arent that loud. i got an western digital drive and the noise is not really noticable, only when being used a lot you hear it. if you got other questions about the case, feel free to ask me
