Possibly the ultimate in silent computers?

[Mr.Monkey2]

Highly likely imo.

I'd heard about these things, and thought it was a daft idea. But looking at the final product, I have to admit I've seen alot worse cases in my time.

Pretty sweet stuff. I have to admit, its a real option for those who don't care about overclocking, only noise. This case and some rubber grommets on the cs drive, and this thing would make less noise than Mrs.Monkey during sex!

Only thing that stops me from getting it (the case, not sex) is the psu... Only 300W. But it does result in a totally fanless case. Pretty impressive.
I recon you could easily add a Zalman psu, and they are pretty quiet. Hmmm.

The site is in korean. Hope you are fluent.

get some headhpones....
then having a silent case wont matter, and you get get a monster beast with lots of fans

Good review here:

And a 400W version coming in May. Toot.

£700, bargain. Actually though, it might be of use in some broadcast environments.

£700 for something you could emulate with a wooden box and a heatpipe, bargain.

What happened to monkey1?

I'dd take a £ 400 vapochill case that makes about 35db.
now matter how cool it looks and how silent it is £700 is just to high

Depends if you actually need SILENT though.

Depends if you actually need SILENT though.

I am willing to trade some of the silance for a computer case with build in beer cooler/icecube maker.

On a more serious note, if i needed a 0db case i'dd buy a stock case and put it in the next room, connect it up by KVM over UTP.

I prefer loud cases, cheaper and at least I know when it's on.
