THE DEEP SILENCE 2 INTERIOR

The steel side panels of the DS2 are actually a lot heavier than the ones of the DS1 and feature an improved and quite thicker noise-absorbing coating.

The interior is also black and thanks to the extra length there's plenty of room inside.

All three 5.25" drive bays feature locking mechanisms which may not be the sturdiest ones we've seen to date but they are quite good (there's a 3.5" to 5.25" adapter mounted in the lowest one).

Right beneath we see a very large drive cage with room for up to 7 2.5/3.5" drives.

The drive trays are made out of metal and are quite sturdy (we've seen the design in other cases as well).

I was surprised to see that Nanoxia has placed an extra spot allowing you to either install an 120/240mm radiator there or two extra 120/240mm fans.

9 holes are present on the mainboard tray, 7 of those are rubber coated for cable management purposes while the largest one is the CPU cutout used to change CPU coolers without having to remove the mainboard.

As usual the rear 140mm exhaust fan comes without a protective grille.

All available PCI expansion slots are secured via normal thumbscrews (again not rubber coated).

At the bottom we see the PSU intake area and one more 120/140mm fan spot right next to it.

Between the noise-absorbing material of the right side panel and the mainboard tray you have quite a bit of space for cable management.

At the top 120/140mm fan spots Nanoxia has placed covers by noise-absorbing material which you can of course remove.
