Compared to the NZXT hush for example this is incredibly loud 4 x 5 louder in fact. And the cable management was done as well as it could have been given the PSU used for testing - Tuniq Miniplant 950W, non-modular with a plethora of cables, the only case which it has ever been any use trying to do cable managment with this PSU was the NZXT Tempest.

I have this case with a Q9550 and an Asus GTX 275. Even though they are not overclocked, I have CPU temperatures on load of around 38 degrees celsius which for me is very nice for such a cheap case. Well, I admit I have bought 2 additional fans which adds 10 bucks to the total cost. Oh and I have all my fans at Low setting (my two Nexus 120mm intake fans at the front too) so it's pretty quiet as well. Simple, sleek design, great cooling and because of the option to put the fans on low the sound production is very good/low as well. Shame you guys didn't like this case!

Compared to the other cases in testing, the fans were much noisier - at any speed - and because of the steel panels being relatively thin, the case rattled more.

In this review the cabling was done all wrong, and therefor gives the temperature a negative impact. The fans are rather quiet on low and medium speed settings, so I cannot understand why this review mention this chassi as "loud", when it is rather quiet.
