Arctic Cooling Silentium T2

Hate loud computer noise? Arctic Cooling has an all-in-one solution that already has the proper fan layout and directional airflow you need. However, it also has it's fair share of problems. Does the bad outweigh the good, in this 'case'?

Good styling ; Unique thermodynamics ; Good size for an HTPC ; Small power supply, but extremely stable ; 4 excellent fans included

Frustrating installation ; Power supply lacks PCI-E connecter ; Only way to turn off the PSU is to pull the plug ; Lack of instructions ; Have to remove front panel to install CD-Roms

As to the small power supply, it held up far better than I had thought it would. To stress it, I ran two instances of SuperPi, two instances of Prime95 and a loop of 3D Mark 06 for 6 hours.

Arctic Cooling Silentium T2 Review

The "a la carte" approach to creating a cool, quiet computer system can cost serious money. Likewise, buying a case designed to include all of the components you need to make your computer run quietly without heating up can be costly. Mike Mackenzie...

The Arctic Cooling Silentium T2 is exactly what I would have expected from such a highly respectable quiet cooling company. Their CPU coolers are amazing performers, and so are their graphics coolers. This case keeps their tradition alive.
