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.

    I'd much rather see a review of the Lian-Li PC-65B.

    I would like to meet whoever buys one of these, and slap him

    The inside is really ugly too. I'd take a $20 Dragon over one of those anyday.

    Hey, be a little nicer to Anand and the other reviewers!

    They do a good job and procude good quality reviews, and here you come and say it is crap. =(

    Sure, many readers (including me) asked for reviews of nicer, more elegant cases. But the truth may be that it may not be so easy to find. And those that do exist, well, it might not be possible to get review samples.

    Have respect!

    seriously, who buys this crap. I'd rather have a hp/compaq/dell case than this.

    "It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review"

    Thats what i was thinking... if the case mft's want to move the more expensive ugly gimicky cases, thats what they will send out, im guessing. Although I agree, a watercooling review/round-up would be pretty interesting.

    I build a system for my nephew's then 9 year old using a case with Spiderman cut-outs. Hey, if kids wants it, it's fine with me.

    This is the last one, I put an end to that today. This is something I should've done a while ago but it's better late than never.

    It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review, but I'd rather review nothing than do any more of these.

    Take care,
    Anand
