We've mentioned numerous times in the past that the market is overflowing with PC cases of all shapes, sizes, features and price tags but there really aren't that many models designed with people who cherish silence above everything else in mind. Certainly there are some manufacturers who have taken the lead such as Fractal Design, Antec and Nanoxia (be quiet! as well but just one) all of which have introduced quite a few such models in the past but if you take into account the sheer number of PC case manufacturers currently in the market those models equal to just a very small percentage. Thermaltake has also introduced some models in the past with such people in mind (if only just partially) but it wasn't until just recently that they decided to take things a step further by introducing an midi tower equivalent to the best models in that category called the Suppressor F51.

The beginning of every myth and legend is about dreams and desire: the challenging, creative and combative features of Thermaltake Group create an exciting and fascinating user experience to share with everyone, while allowing users to enter a selfless state in terms of function and potential.

With its outstanding wisdom and strength Thermaltake Group is recruiting creative talents to build a cultural brand for the enjoyment of entertainment, e-Sports, technology and lifestyle!

The Suppressor F51 is unlike most if not all previously released midi tower cases by Thermaltake mainly because this time over their engineers focused a lot in reducing noise levels by outfitting it with several pieces of sound-dampening material (much like the Deep Silence line by Nanoxia). This of course is what we call a double edged sword feature since on one hand you will certainly enjoy the almost complete lack of noise emanating from the interior of the case but on the other this automatically means increased temperatures for all your components (always compared to what you can expect with the top/side sound-dampening panels removed and/or replaced by fans). Aside its noise-dampening capabilities however the Suppressor F51 packs quite a few interesting features including a completely tool-free design, removable drive cages, dust-filters, 4-port fan speed controller, space for up to 10 fans and/or 4 radiators and enough room for up to 185mm tall CPU coolers and 310mm long graphics cards (465mm with the drive cage removed).
