The side panels of this ATX mid-tower feature sound dampening foam lining on the top, side and front panels to block noise.The front panel swings open for easy access to the large magnetic dust filter at the front intake, and the three 120 white blade fans pre-installed in front and one 140 mm fan in the rear bring a subtle elegance to the workstation.

10 Comments on CES 2019: Antec Present The Silent Guardian, New Quiet Computing P101 Silent Case
My (essentially) open case is as quiet as the Define R3 I had long ago.
Gamer Jesus has a pretty good video on airflow vs silent cases.
Airflow Vs Silent
Slightly higher temps (2-5C), but in return you get a super silent case.
As long as your ambient noise levels are low enough, you're going to notice noise coming from your PC. A quality silent case will help in that regard.
