Spire Pininfarina SP-ATX-PALU chassis review

Here we can see cabling and the power supply unit location, which pretty much will be the most difficult component to get installed.

Obviously we also want to measure the noise levels the casing creates. For this task we'll simply insert a fanless PSU and connect the fans from the chassis. Now we close the doors. Next photo please.

Here we have activated the fans by connecting it to the fanless PSU (which makes no noise). We move away the DBa meter 50-75 CM from the chassis and start to measure the DBA levels.

Below 40 is great, between 40-50 is average and above 50 is too loud. So although advertised as being a really silent case this is not the truth. You can definitely hear the fans constantly. It's well below the level of being irritating, but it's definitely not silent.
