I have been working in server rooms for several years and it is amazing what the decibel levels are like in most of them. If you ever have to go into one and you value your hearing, then I would recommend you wear ear plugs. For that reason, the limits on how loud a server can be are changing and newer equipment tends to have fans that throttle down to a more reasonable noise level. Some of these quieter designs, though, have to come from the chassis, and regardless of whether you are someone who works with servers, or just wants a gaming PC, wouldn't you want a quieter more pleasant environment? The Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Edition is a Mid-Tower chassis that is targeted at those of us looking for a simple, yet quiet design. The Carbide 100R is also priced modestly for those of you looking at bang for the buck. The front of the case is very simple, with only a few vents on the side, along with the typical USB, Headphone, Microphone, Power button, and reset button for the front panel. Corsair has designed the 100R to fit Mini-ITX, Micro ATX, and ATX motherboards, plus it has seven expansions slots available. The hard drive cage supports up to four 3.5? or 2.5? drives, and the front of the case has two spots for 5.25? drives. The Carbide 100R does include two stock fans, and there are additional mounting locations in the front for two 120/140mm fans, and two 120mm locations on the top of the case. It also has support for CPU coolers up to 150mm in length, along with support for GPUs up to 414mm in length, and PSUs up to 230mm.
