Benchmarking - Sound

The other performance meter when it comes to cases is noise levels. We measure the noise levels of the Nemesis and Nemesis Elite 12" away from the closed chassis with the power supply and heat sink fans turned off. Take a look at our results.

Sound Benchmarks

NZXT has included extremely high quality fans in its Nemesis Elite edition chassis, which shows in the sound portion of our benchmarks. With all three fans turned on, the most sound produced was at levels around 54dBA. The steel Nemesis model produced about 49dBA on average, since it had one less fan.

    #18: that is HILARIOUS!

    #30: Yes you can possibly make a case this ugly...and they did.

    Every year cases are getting more freaking ugly and extreme in design.

    I just stick with the basic Lian-li designs...even some of the Lian-li cases are getting pretty damn ugly.

    Like a few others, I did not even read the article after I saw the ugliest case I've ever seen in my life.

    Erm, why does this article appear truncated? When I view the last page, it ends:

    "[...] then why spend $120 on something similar? We may surprise many of you with our final decision. For those who enjoy these custom-modded cases from the factory, then aesthetically"

    That's it! Were the words after that censored? :p

    Thanks, Anand, for putting a stop to this...I wanna see some "adult" cases...not lego cases.

    It's official, someone managed to beat Thermaltake in the "make the ugliest case possible" contest.
