Page 6 - Photos #4 and noise

Oy .. all that black. You are looking at the HD and Optical drive bays from the right side of the chassis with the side panel removed. Right, let's gear her up and power it on.

Here we can see the chassis powered up, all fans are running. The photo does not do the case justice though.

Once powered on the LED lights in front do color up the chassis beautifully. Let's see how well she does in terms of noise.

We measured 37 DBa at roughly 60 CM distance at the backside (facing the rear fan). That's quite honestly good. To describe it, you'll hear a slight breeze of airflow, but that's all you'll hear from the chassis itself. of course you'll be able to include or remove additional fans which in the end will have an overall effect at the noise levels as well.

The visual effect from the red lighting is pretty nice. The strips up front and the single LED fan out back provide a red glow that isn't too intense and feel just about right.

When we darken the room a little we can see the surrounding lit up a tad better. So yes, the looks are quite nice. You can also opt for a blue colored LED version. Or the chassis in a non-black aluminum color.
