It seems that quite a few cases have been released recently and while this might seem a bit repetitive it does at least allow us to compare the cases quite well.
Today's case is the Cooler Master Silencio 550 Chassis which is trying to be slightly different to your standard case but at a price that will not break the bank. The name itself might give it away slightly but if it's not obvious Cooler Master do claim 'near silent' operation when using this case. That seems like quite a tall order when most users will be using fairly hefty CPU Coolers and a decent powered PSU. All we can say from the start is that they certainly haven't compromised the looks of this case.
Now some of you may have heard on our forums that the official release date of the Cooler Master Silencio 550 was the 23rd May. We do here at eTeknix like to give you the reviews, when possible, at the earliest time that we are allowed to release them.
With todays powerful hardware components, most computer case designs are mainly focused on maximizing airflow. Sometimes compromising on one vital aspect, which is noise reduction. It's pretty hard to get a decent balance in a midi sized tower between decent airflow and near silent operation. Cooler Master is targeting, with this Silencio 550, those that look to build a silent PC. Yet no compromises are made in build quality, air flow is decent to warrant safe operation and all this with a very affordable price tag.
On repart aujourd'hui chez Cooler Master, avec un pion qui manquait à son échiquier; un modèle capable de discrétion, tant sur le plan du look, que sur le plan des nuisances sonores. Deux ans après une première tentative répondant au nom de Sileo 500, la marque opère un nouveau virage à 180° pour nous proposer ce second modèle 100% silence, nommé Silencio 550. Ce boitier moyen tour ultra sobre, à l'opposé des boitiers gamer habituellement produits par la marque, avait été exhibé en mars dernier lors du Cebit. L'objectif principal de ce nouveau venu étant de faire barrage aux Define R3 et autre Sonata, il nous tardait de le passer à la moulinette et de voir comment il alla it s'en sortir. Alors, nouvelle référence ou ratée ?
Technic3D hat das Cooler Master Silencio 550 PC-Gehäuse im Test. Das kompakte Gehäuse soll mit seiner vorinstallierten Dämmung nicht nur Silent-Enthusiasten ansprechen. Wie das "Silencio" hierbei abschneidet, steht im nachfolgenden Artikel.
Cooler Master has a clear winner with the Silencio 352. It's compact, affordable and has the features you want, including USB 3.0 and even a memory card reader. The build quality is solid and there are enough features for assembling your system effectively.
Cooler Master seem to be hitting the market hard with a range of great new products this year, we've seen the incredible Aluminium range peripherals get released, while their other gaming peripherals are still winning awards, they launched one of the best new cases of the year with the budget friendly N200, the impressive new HAF chassis models are doing well and their big hitters such as the Cosmos range are going strong, so what else could Cooler Master possibly need to do to improve their position in our minds? How about a new Silencio chassis, maybe that will do it.
I've always loved the older Silencio chassis models, they've always been well priced, well made and offered a fair few features such as sleek looks, good compatibility along with a little sound proofing and for a mid market chassis, that's usually more than enough to temp a system builder. The new one looks set to continue that trend by being affordable (around £50), being compact with an mATX form factor, offering noise dampening panels, having two fans included, support for water cooling, large CPU coolers, dual USB 3.0 ports and a built in SD Card reader, which is put simply, impressive for this kind of budget.
With Cooler Master's reputation of producing high quality cases, the Scout 2 does not fail to impress. It is a nice update to the original Scout, which is 2 years old and starting to show its age. Integrating USB 3.0, a refined style with more curves, a smoked window and a rubberized handle shows that Cooler Master is constantly looking to improve its products.
Carrying handles aren't a new thing. In the early days case modders would attach their own to make moving their system around a little easier. This sort of thing was often associated with LAN gaming and the trend just kinda stuck.
