Benchmarking - Sound

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

Sound Benchmarks

The Viper's two 80mm case fans produced noise at levels around 46dB, just 1dB lower than the Sidewinder, which had three of these 80mm fans. As we mentioned with the Sidewinder, adding an extra couple fans will most likely increase the noise levels upwards in the 50-60dB range.

    i own one of these; my friend gave it to me, but thats not important... I actually have to say i like the design, although the LED display is inconvenient located, the design is very aggressive and eye-catching. its a little big, but that size is anything but wasted, it have places for multiple fans, motherboard, power supply, Hardrive, CD/DVD burner, and other accessories for your computer. if you have the space and would enjoy a kick-ass light-show while running it in the dark, this was made for you.
