Seems to me that intake fan, cpu fan and outtake fan are all in line here and pretty close to one another. That means they can run with low rpm and still provide enough fresh air to all passive heatsinks.

For a company that specializes into silent PC hardware, I'm surprised by the design of this case as well. Noise will easily leak through the front and the side window panel.

Sure, that will be quiet, but Silentium was typically for ridiculously silent PCs, and the cases would suppress the noise of PSU, HDD and coolers fairly well.

This is more of a gaming rig design designed to maximize airflow vs noise.

it will be silent and it has lot of space for many stuff, but it is NOT a m-ATX (as it is marketed and its mobo size is limited)... this case footprint volume is 47 liters !! (there is m-ATX cases that take only 20 liters of space). and normal ATX cases start from 35 liters... so if you go wide and big - there is plenty of ATX cases with much more room for anything (silent vents, HDDs, GPU's, PSU's, 5.25's - you name it) - so nothing spectacular about this - "limited to m-ATX board, ATX size" - case.

i think front fan really spins that high abut 1000rpm over advertised speed? How can it be?
