Anyone know of a living successor to Silent PC Review? Was a great site back in the day but it shut down and got replaced with a marketing slop page.
Great reviews back you could get cases with multi-layered sound deadening side panels instead of windows.
I never understood the giant focus on side windows. If you want to see your components while you're using your PC, why not just build inside a transparent case, or build on a workbench/open style (caseless)
ATX spec is designed for positive pressure/airflow, so you’ll generally run hotter in open air.
Why would the hardware care if the pressure is higher in the case than ambient? How could it even tell?

Do you run linux at the moment? I've personally found my switch to CachyOS from Windows 11 one of the biggest factors in making my PC run silent/near silent. Happy to elaborate if you're curious.
