Deep Silence 6 Super Tower HPTX Case for Sensitive Audio Workstation and Storage Dense Applications, Anthracite

I recently did a platform upgrade and I decided to repurpose my old workstation hardware for a NAS. As I looked around for case options I was surprised by the fact that there were very few mATX options with high hard drive capacity. When I finally came upon this, it fit all of my requirements and more. I received the case and everything arrived just fine. There are plenty of screws that come in the box. My initial thoughts were that it felt very solid and the cable management options were excellent. Once I started my build I found it very easy to move around with parts inside and easy to route everything. The build was just a breeze compared to the last case I had. It also comes with some solid fans and I can't hear it when I sleep about 6 feet away and it's full of hard drives. If you're looking for a solid, cheap, modular case with lot's of potential this is a great option.

I had trouble deciding whether to give the case 4 or 5 stars, it’s damn near perfect in my opinion (I am using it to house a FreeNAS system so 3.5/2.5 disk capacity, cooling for said disks, minimal footprint and low noise were the important things for me). I decided on 5 since I felt like the average rating at the time was too low. My gripes, since there are very few of them, are as follows: 1. Only 1 fan in the front (albeit a 120mm one) that blows on about 3 of the disks. I feel like 2 could fit, but that’s just my opinion 2. The back of the tray is a bit cramped, I had to bend the SATA cables a little bit more than I wanted to 3. The upper fan grill is a bit larger on one side than a 140mm fan 4. The PSU mounting holes were a bit weird. Mine mounted fine, but I feel like it could have mated up a bit better with the back of the PSU. Not a big deal though That’s it! Everything else is great! Plenty of space for what I needed it for, seems like the cooling flow is pretty good (the front fan is a bit restricted and I wish I had gone for a higher static pressure noctua fan rather than the regular 120mm PWM version, the insulation is great and thick. The case I got was perfectly fine, no issues with it as I’ve seen in some other reviews. The dust guards are great, seem to be better than the other case I have (other cases have air channels that aren’t fully filtered, but the front cover could come off a little easier. Not a big deal. The wiring holes in the MB are great and have rubber grommets. I didn’t use the fan controller since I got PWM fans instead so I just pulled the wires out from the controller and left it alone (since it’s a NAS machine I never even open the 5.25 bay door - which has nice thick insulation behind it & the bay plates are mesh if you want some air flow. The MB expansion slot plates are also mesh, fine enough to catch some dust which is cool. There are plenty of HDD/SDD mounts with rubber pads for vibration insulation which is great. When the machine is running there is little noise and vibration. With the machine on (i3 6100 & 3 WD RE drives) in a warm room the drives stay around 35 degrees with the fans at basically their lowest which is what matters to me. And the dust filters are relatively easy to get to and seem to catch most of the dust since the inside of the machine is pretty dust free after 6 months. This was the smallest case I could find that could fit more than 3 or so HDDs and it seems to be working great at a pretty reasonable price. I’m happy.

Pretty cool little case, def gives up airflow for silence. I think they skimped on a few things to keep the cost down, like having to pull the front panel off to access the dust filter, and it's QC is a little "meh" but all in all if one isn't to picky it's a pretty nice case. Not a ton of room behind the board for cable routing, but there is no window so who cares beyond keeping it out of the airflow path. My biggest criticism by far is the build quality, it's a really neat design that the actual manufacturer has done harm to via cheap material and assembly in a few areas. Thin flexy steel, ugly rivets, not precise assembly, and the drive cage was a bent up trainwreck when I received it despite the box and exterior of the case being just fine. I still say it's a nice case but maybe for a bit of a patient and experienced builder. With a skylate i5, 212evo an ssd, a 3tb spinny drive and a gtx1060 it's a very quiet, very fast, slightly warm, fairly small gaming box it's new owner is very happy with.

The case is gigantic! I haven't had time to do the system build yet so it's just an empty box but it is quite imposing. Mine arrived slightly damaged. One corner was bent up on the case which matches damage on the box.

Excellent case. Much bigger and much higher quality than I expected. This thing is very well built and has features galore. You won't be disappointed.

When first case I ordered arrived damaged, I could tell that the thickness of the steel used in the case was thin and the case wasn't very sturdy. However, I wanted a quiet case, and it was on sale, so I exchanged the old case for a new one. 1. After assembling my computer with your case, I discovers 2 small rubber parts left over (see photo.) There is no mention of them in the manual and no indication where they should go or what their purpose is. 2. I still cannot use my computer after many hours of work, because the fan connector is a 4 pin male molex, and my fairly recent model power supply doesn’t support this type of connector. I will now have to find an adapter, which is an added expense, delay and trouble for me. Why did they insist on using an outdated standard, and not supply an adapter to a 6 pin pcie or SATA connector? Or at least warn people that they will need to order one with their case? I am really very upset and disappointed with the company about this. 3. The photos in the case were not clear enough to recognize which screws is was referring to, and the plastic packets they were in were not labeled. 4. The case was warped, and was therefore difficult to assemble. Many of the screws and parts did not line up and had to be fit together with some force. 5. They should warn people to remove any DVD drive before removing the front panel, as it is very difficult to replace the front panel with the DVD drive installed, and more trouble to remove the DVD drive through the gap between the front panel and the case due to the wiring. 6. The hard drive mounting screw holes were not well placed for my Seagate hard drive, and I was only able to install 2 screws. I do not feel confident that the drive is securely mounted. 7. When my hard drive was attached to the hard drive carrier, the carrier no longer fit very well in it’s slot, as it is now skewed at a slight angle. 8. The small rubber pads are poorly attached to the feet at the bottom of the case, and came off almost immediately. I am unsure how to reattach them such that they will not fall off again. 9. As noted, this is my second case from them, as the first one had a dent in the box and the case inside had it’s corner bashed in. That was not their fault, however I noticed that the case material is somewhat thin and insubstantial, which contributed to the problem. I am worried about the durability of this case. I cannot yet comment on how quiet the case is, which is why I purchased it in the first place, because I haven’t been able to use it yet. Fortunately, I live in a large urban center which still has hobbyist computer stores, so I can probably find an adapter and try it tonight. If it is really very quiet, this trouble might be worthwhile, but I still think this company could have done better.

Good solid case

Came just as described. Has all the room all ever need.

The case is great I researched it for a long time because I'm building a Media/Nas/ File server and then had to wait for stock! however, when it arrived the top front fan door didn't open properly - the fan was not located fully because the power cable was trapped behind the side panel, the cable was crushed but appears ok. I emailed Nanoxia support but so far I haven't heard back (been about 2.5 weeks). so only 3 Stars. Information for other reviewers - I'm intending to use Hot-Swap caddy's in the front 4 external 5.25" bays and I've found the StarTech 3.5" SATA/SAS Hard drive Mobile caddy (HSB13SATSASB) fits straight in to the 5.25" (after removing the tool-less locks locks).

Fijne stille kast. Goede maatvoering voor harddisks en moederbord. Alles past exact.

Il case ha ormai qualche anno ed oggi di questo tipo non se ne trovano molti, ma ha le caratteristiche per essere utilizzato come home server / htpc. La fattura è ottima, posso confermare che offre una rumorosità davvero contnuta (ovviamente a scapito dei flussi d'aria, tant'è che non è un case adatto al gaming a mio modesto avviso). Possibilità di inserire 6 dischi da 3.5 + due slot da 5,25 da riconvertire come si preferisce in dimensioni tutto sommato abbastanza contenute. La sostanza è: lo dovete piazzare in camera? È perfetto!

The product it's like advertised, thank you.

Hab ein ASRock N100M (Micro-ATX) mit 4 HDDs und 'ner SATA-SSD verbaut. Ausreichend Platz für die Komponenten
