notareal's quiet box
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2006 5:24 am
I did order a Antec P150 for this box after reading nice reviews it did got. Later problems with the NeoHE spoiled the impression of this excellent case. In spite of the problems, I would not change the case. Cable management, HD suspension, quiet PSU (when it works) and style - all in one box is hard to find.
Inside the box:
Noise is about the same level as a notebook. A fridge 5 meters away of the box is much lauder.
