The new Silentmaxx ST11-PRO is an excellent chassis if you want to build a quiet PC. The ST11-PRO includes acoustic material which is supplied pre-fitted and covers virtually all of the internal chassis. This effectively cuts down any airborne noise, making your system run dramatically quieter. As well as being feature packed these cases are also available in five different colours!

These cases have a feature that we have not seen on any other case. At the bottom of the case there are three internal 5¼" drive bays. These bays have been designed to accommodate 5¼" hard drive enclosures, as shown in the image above. This is a good idea because if you want to use a hard drive enclosure in a normal case you would lose a 5¼" drive bay. There is also space for either a 80mm fan or 120mm fan at the front of the case. This introduces cool air over the hard drive enclosures which will help to keep them cool. The ST11-PRO can allow you to install three hard drive enclosures along with four optical drives.

The case comes with two USB, one Firewire and Audio ports. These ports are neatly hidden behind a flap. A grill on the top of the case is positioned directly above where the power supply is fitted. The reason for this grill is to allow the hot air generated by the PSU to escape, which is ideal if you are intend using a fanless or a semi-fanless PSU.
