Introduction
Hardware Secrets Silver Award

Silent Storm is an inexpensive mid-tower case from Sunbeamtech – it costs only USD 50 at Newegg.com – coming with three 120-mm fans, a transparent side window and screwless installation mechanisms for daughter boards and disk drives. Let’s take an in-depth look on this product.

This case has five 5 ¼” bays, two external 3 ½” bays for floppy disk drives and three internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives. The front panel is protected by a plastic front door. The quality of this door isn’t the best and we wouldn’t expect a better quality on a USD 50 product.

On Figure 6 you can see the rear panel, using the very traditional ATX design, but with the addition of one big 120-mm fan there. This case uses two thumbscrews to hold the left side panel (the one that must be removed for installing parts inside the case).
