EVGA Classified SR-2 Case (designed not to be too loud)
Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2010 4:28 pm
My latest commissioned build was for an oak and aluminum case to house a water cooled EVGA SR-2 rig. Even though the case will eventually hold four 140x4 radiators my client and I designed it to be as quiet as possible via the solid case doors that block the direct sound path from all of the case and radiator fans. In order to accomplish this the doors are built in such a way that they also function as air ducts, thus feeding cool intake air from the bottom of the case.
