After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Anatomy of a Silent Case
Inside of the case you will find both side panels as well as the top and floor are covered in medium density eggcrate style foam. The foam helps both with absorbing direct sounds from inside the case and also provides dampening for the vibrations which transmit along the flat surfaces. The side panels attach with a nice solid feel but only the front has thumbscrews. The rear panel will require a Phillips screwdriver to remove.
Other notable features in this chassis include the placement of a foam pad on the PSU mounting surface as well as a pad on the small shelf which helps support the power supply.
