14 DAY TRIAL // One thing about desktop cases is that they can get really noisy at times, especially if they rely on a lot of fans on top of the ones that ship with the CPU and graphics cards. That's why Haxx.eu has made one that doesn't use any.
Which is to say, it is made in such a way that the job that would normally be handled by fans is accomplished by the chassis itself.
Instead of setting up a system of holes, mesh front panels and/or areas at the front, back and bottom for air intake and exhaust, heatsink properties are implemented.
As such, so long as the hardware doesn't go above a certain thermal threshold, the temperature will be kept under control.
That means that the strongest of CPUs won't work with it, but it should be fine as long as the chips aren't of over 95W. Nowadays, that allows for a decent level of performance really.
The name of the case is Fanless Case 0.1, and its maker is Haxx.eu.
The company acknowledges that buyers may still change their mind later though, and want a fan or two.
That is why it designed the Fanless Case 0.1 with a top panel that has perforations capable of holding a 140 mm fan. There are bottom intakes as well, for two 120 mm fans.
That said, the heatsink that chills the CPU is a monolithic contraption that hovers above the socket and connects to the CPU through a copper base and heatpipe array.
That said, Haxx.eu tossed in five 3.5-inch drive bays (for solid-state drives /SSDs, hard disk drives /HDDs, and hybrid drives /SSDHs/HHDs), 7 expansion slots, and two 5.25-inch drive bays.
Everything is held together by 3.1mm-thick aluminum sheets and measures 180 x 420 x 420 mm / 7.08 x 16.53 x 16.53 inches.
All it needs is a fanless PSU and everything's ready for a dead silent but in no way dead weight computer system. The price is a bit steep though, at €333 / $333 – 427.
