Tom's Reviews Expensive, Noiseless Case

Posted by michael on from the earplugs-much-cheaper dept.

hakker writes "Toms Hardware Guide is running a review of a new case that claims it provides noiseless computing. The TNN 500A case from Zalman Tech is fanless (including PSU), and uses a bunch of heatpipes to move heat outside of the case from sources inside the system. Potentially costing as much as $1400, how much is your peace and quiet worth?"

    for $1400 I'll rent the apartment next to mine, put the computer over there, leave the air conditioning on, drill a hole in the wall, and run my cables to it through the wall while leaving my monitor, keyboard, and mouse in my apartment... and still come out ahead!

  4. Sears has one for 600 by robdeadtech · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sears carries one for $600... And thouugh you'll need a tad more square footage to put it, it's ripe for some great extreme case mods.

  5. Not really that quiet by Honkytonkwomen · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I consider the noise my wife would make if I spent $1,400 on a case, my current case is quieter.
