Deep Silence 3 Compact Mid Tower ATX Case Beginner Friendly

Although I'm annoyed that the price has dropped from $110 (2/7/15) to $90 (3/9/15) since I bought this case, I'm still very happy with it. It has a sleek, minimalist design that looks great, and it is absolutely as quiet as advertised. My previous build was in the gamer style, so it had eight fans and was a very noisy machine. I was looking to create the opposite experience with this build, and this case did not disappoint. It is very quiet, even under maximum loads. (I run BOINC in off-hours, which uses 100% of both CPU and GPU causing the fans to run at max speed, but the rig is still very quiet.)The tool-less drive bays are easy to work with, and there is ample room behind the motherboard panel to route almost all cabling. The case has room to add more fans, but with the quality air flow I haven't seen the need.My minor complaints are (1) the power button sticks in it's housing, and (2) the side panels aren't fitted quite right so are difficult to take off. Other than that, this is an excellent case and well worth the price.

Very nice case. I was a bit unsure at first as I had no idea who they are, but figured I’d give them a shot as there aren’t many decent looking cases with 5.25” bays and amp 3.5” bays. The quality is very nice and well thought outPros-3 - 5.25” drive bays5 - 3.5” hard drive bays3 - 2.5” drive baysClean looksPlenty of room for long video cards.Lengthy front panel wiresVery quietCons -- Quality control is a little lacking. My OCD kicked in when the rubber pad for the smaller foot isn’t completely on.- The chrome for the larger feet was scratched off in different area of them so the took some points away.- reset button is behind the door. Weird spot- why a moles connector for the fan controller? A female sata plug would have been better so that one doesn’t have to plug in the moles cable in a modular ps and make more clutter. I bought a moles to sata adapter in case I use the controller but that should be stopped.- the side doors are VERY snug. Takes a lot to remove them. Almost to the point of way too snugAll in all, I really like the case. The negatives are mostly me nitpicking. But their QC department needs to step up their game.

Pretty much exactly what I looking for, well-built, low key, quiet and roomy. So roomy in fact that it is almost a full tower. My only gripe with it besides it's bulk (which really can't be a gripe because I knew how big it was going in) was the feet. The feet are cheap chromed plastic that will last for one or two slides in and out of position before they will crack and break. I replaced them immediately with some more durable but less sightly rubber feet.The case has plenty of room for a chiller, dual video cards and just about as many hard drives as you might ever need. The foam sound insulation does a great job of keeping the computer running silently. It comes standard with three chassis fans and room to add at least three more if an application requires it. It comes equipped with a manually adjusted chassis fan controller however I opted instead t use the fan control features integrated into my motherboard.Overall a great case for just about any machine as long as you have the room.

This case has a LOT of excellent features. It is VERY quiet, the 1,300 RPM fans make little noise. They also move little air so I had to add two more of them to adequately cool my system, which is not very hot. The sheet metal is thick and heavy, insulated for sound, and it looks great. However I did have a couple of issues with the case.First when I looked at the front panel wiring I noticed the Reset switch was never going to work because they didn't put the wiring together. I had to extract the old pin, BUY A NEW PIN KIT AND CRIMPER TOOL and fix this myself. I wasn't about to ship this heavy case back as defective for one wire some idiot couldn't get crimped right.Second, when I opened the instructions they were in German! Then I found the second half was in English, but it wasn't much better. The pictures are so dark you can't tell what you are looking at, and the descriptions are very short. If you have not had experience in building computers before I would this is NOT the case for you. If you have had such experience you can figure most of it out yourself. There are a couple of parts I still don't now what they go to! Very little explanation in he instructions.I don't recall seeing on the Amazon page or in any description the fan controller. Th-inn fan controller for 6 fans, there are 2 slide switches below the .25" bays that control 3 each! I was very surprised and pleased!Overall this is a great case so far, and very quiet. I am sitting right next to it with 6 fans running and can barely hear it. I can hear the two computers all the way across the room over this one, those may get upgraded cases in the near future!Update: 9/25/19: Now the front USB 2.0 no longer works, and the USB 3.0 ports have come loose and fallen inside so I cannot access them. To fix it I will have to remove the cover, disconnect all the wiring, AND remove the circuit board to get to the screw heads, which it looks like the screws may be too short to properly hold the USB 3.0 in! For such a nice case the front panel sure has been lousy!I will give it this: The case is the quietest case I have ever owned. I have this sitting next to my chair in my TV room. It runs Folding@Home when idle, so an 8C/16T E5-2648L V1 on a DX79SR running at 100% with two Quadro P1000 video cards folding also at 100%, fans around 7000RPM on those, I can barely hear it! But, I have not taken out the insulation for the top vents to keep it quiet, and that does keep things a little warmer inside but not unreasonable. If necessary I could open them to cool, but I am sure would be louder.Second Update: I have tried, unsuccessfully, to contact Nanoxia regarding warranty, they have just ignored me as I expected. They are no better than any of the other tech companies, sell you junk plastic at an inflated price, then not honor the warranty when it falls apart! Pure junk, doesn't last at all! I mean really, my CAR has a plastic intake manifold on it, and that has lasted 220,000 miles with all the engine heat, gasoline, etc., but a plastic computer case falls apart right out of the box! They COULD build a better product, but they choose not to so you have to keep replacing them,! What a disgrace!

Il case è di costruzione robusta e curato nei dettagli. Si adatta a diverse dimensioni e tipologie di schede madri, offre spazio a sufficienza per l'installazione di diversi componenti interni (ho installato 3 SSD 2 HDD e un lettore CD e ci sono ancora slot disponibili). È dotato di serie di 3 ventole da 120 con alimentazione a 3 pin (niente PWR ma compatibili anche su connettori a 4 pin) due sul frontale e 1 sul retro che forniscono già un buon flusso d'aria ed è predisposto per l'installazione di ulteriori 3 ventole (120 o 140) 2 nella parte superiore e una sul "pavimento" del case. Mi ha stupito la silenziosità che è dovuta anche al rivestimento fono assorbente dei pannelli e delle parti "crotiche" che potrebbero trasmettere rumore all'esterno. Un ottimo prodotto che vale tutto quello che è il suo costo

Tout est très bien sauf les racks de HD 3.5", qui nécessitent du vissage au lieu d'utiliser des barettes latérales amovibles, portant la languette, qui est ici un prolongement du rack. Et les caches alvéolés pour les ouvertures de ventilation du panneau supérieur ne sont vraiment pas esthétiques et attrapent la poussière : il valait mieux proposer un panneau ouvert en option.

Da mich mein Computer beim Arbeiten störte, habe ich nach einem gedämmten Gehäuse gesucht. Das lauteste Bauteil war die WD Black Festplatte, die bei meinem alten Sharkoon Vaya deutlich zu hören war, trotz Entkopplung. Aufgrund Tests von einschlägigen Hardwaremagazinen hab ich mich schlussendlich für das Deep Silence 3 entschieden. Es dämmt sehr gut und die mitgelieferten Lüfter sind per Lüftersteuerung nur schwer zu hören. Ich habe die Lüfter trotzdem noch entkoppelt, jedoch kaum einen Unterschied wahrgenommen, zum unentkoppelten Zustand.Insgesamt muss ich sagen, dass das Gehäuse für den Preis sehr gut ist.

Fantastic case, really nice build quality unsure why anyone would have issues with this (they even provide a big bag of black screws etc for case aesthetics)! Modular design for hard drives allows extended cards to be used with ease and includes SSD bays so no adapters requried. Even with the 3 fans provided and 2 extra 120mm fans added the noise level is barely noticeable. Cable management system is fantastic and allows easy access to maximise air flow etc. Product was delivered a day ahead of time despite coming from the continent. A fantastic case that would do well for any PC user! :)

Cabe de todo, es muy espaciosa (y grande por fuera, también), viene muy bien ajustada y le cabe de todo. Las bandejas extraíbles para los discos duros y la fuente de alimentación en el suelo (mueve su propio caudal de aire) fueron una grata sorpresa. Le caben tres unidades de CD/DVD/BR, y todo encajó a la perfección. Incluye una tapa extra para una bahía de 5,25" para poner un módulo de 3,5" si se desea. Los USB van en la parte alta, a salvo del polvo.A FAVOR: Es de metal, eso se nota y por eso pesa lo suyo. Sella muy bien los caudales de aire, y con los dos ventiladores que trae para la caja los mueve muy bien. El aire entra por el frontal y pasa por entre los discos duros, enfriándolos de paso. Una vez cerrada aísla todo el ruido del interior. La fuente va en el suelo, y mueve su propio aire para refrigeración. Las tapas para las ranuras de expansión van atornilladas si se quieren reponer, e incluye pasacables para los tubos de refrigeración líquida si se desea.EN CONTRA: Por decir algo: el peso y el tamaño. Es enooooorme y pesada. Hay que prever espacio extra en la mesa.
