INTRODUCTION

   How would you reply to a very good friend if he asked your opinion about which is the best mATX compatible PC case in the market currently? Obviously i can't speak on your behalf but when a good friend asked this of me roughly a week ago i honestly didn't know what to tell him since i doubt there's a perfect one out there. So instead of answering his question i asked him what he thought was the most important feature/aspect for his dream mATX case. Of course we all know how hard it is to choose a PC case based on a single thing but everything has to start from someplace. So after discussing this for a while over a cup of coffee he decided that he wanted a high quality and virtually noiseless mATX tower which he could also use in his bedroom during the night without worrying about waking up by it. With that in mind my answer was very clear and actually had to do with today’s review of the Deep Silence 4 mITX/mATX PC Case by Nanoxia.

   The idea for Nanoxia was developed in 2006 when a German engineering team sat down to develop fans that would meet the highest standards. The new fans have been presented to the press for the first time during CeBIT in March 2007. In addition to their distinctive design, the revolutionary fans were notable for their high quality. Over the years, several fan-series as well as other components - such as cooling water additives and thermal compounds - were offered. The main products, however, remain high quality fans, vibration dampers and the to this day unsurpassed PWMX fan controller. A dedicated and experienced team has begun to build on the success of the legendary fan-series with new, innovative products. At first, the FX Evo fan-series was released in early 2012 and shortly thereafter a whole new line of premium sleeved cables came out. As a new mile stone was reached after years of development, when during Computex 2012 the brand new Nanoxia Deep Silence case series was introduced to the world.

     Just like with the entire Deep Silence line of PC cases the Deep Silence 4 promises high build quality with plenty of interior space and many features including very good airflow levels, several radiator spots, room for many 3.5/2.5" drives and noiseless operation thanks to the noise insulating material Nanoxia uses on the interior. Design-wise Nanoxia has followed the same exact path as they have with the entire Deep Silence line and although we don't really consider that to be a bad thing still we do feel that they should also think about catering to the needs of younger audiences who may want something flashier on or under their desks. Also because of the design Nanoxia obviously couldn't shrink the Deep Silence 4 a lot so it's not what we'd call the smallest mATX/mITX compatible PC case out in the market currently but then again if it was it wouldn't offer the same interior space.
