Hey Guys!
I have currently chosen the following parts for my new haswell build:
I won't do any oc, don't need an optical drive and i'm well aware that i have partly chosen quite pricey components.
So what's the matter? Corsair released the obsidian 350d case and it made me thinking. If I swap to the following alternatives:
What would be the impact in terms of silence? While lacking the noise reduction, the 350d competes with a more open case, which may allow running the fans a bit slower... The idea of a smaller and therefore more compact case pleases me, but noise is my main concern. Do you guys have any experience with these two?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
