Fractal Design Core 3000 v Coolermaster Silencio RC-550

Post by amjedm » Wed Oct 19, 2011 9:04 am

Case advice please

Was set on getting the Core 3000 but Scan have Today Only offer on the Silencio at £54.

My current computer is quiet (Coolermaster Elite 340 is the case) but not silent.

I have limited height (around 430mm) in the desk hence the short list of cases.

Anyone have the Silencio?

(I did post a thread about the Core 3000 and no replies so I can only assume no one has purchased it)

Other comments?

Sorry bout the delay.

I'd buy the silencio because it's a higher quality case, have quiet fans and is predampened.

No need to apologise ;)

I ordered the Fractal Core 3000 in the end as I have limited height under the desk and the Silencio would have been a very very tight fit - maybe 1mm spare or it may not have fitted at all :(
