GameMax Introduces Titan Silent 2 Chassis
GameMax, an emerging brand of PC gaming components including gaming cases and power supply units, introduces the Titan Silent 2 chassis designed for content creators. The Titan Silent 2 is designed to support multiple hard drives and up to E-ATX motherboards - ideal for building workstation PCs. The chassis also has eight expansion slots for multi-GPU configurations.
For storage, the Titan Silent 2 supports up to 8x 3.5" HDDs on its tool-free drive bays and two 2.5" SSDs. Designed for silent high-performance computing, the chassis features sound-dampening on its panels to reduce noise. The chassis also has three 5.25" ODD bays for more expansions such as card readers, hot-swappable drive cages, and others. For cooling, the Titan Silent 2 comes with 3x pre-installed 120 mm cooling fans - supports up to 7x cooling fans. The chassis also supports liquid cooling solutions of up to 360 mm radiators to be mounted on top.The Titan Silent 2 sports a very functional top panel I/O including high-speed USB-C and 3-mode fan control for the front and top fans of the chassis.

Key Features
- Active Noise Cancellation and Silent Design: EVA soundproof foam on the inner panels and top, with sound-dampening PC boards on both side panels, actively minimizing vibrations and noise.
- Full Tower with 8 PCI Slots: Supports E-ATX motherboards (305×280 mm) for superior performance.
- Optical Drive Support: Accommodates up to three 5.25" drives.
- Ample Storage Capacity: Supports eight 3.5" HDDs (also compatible with 2.5" SSDs) with tool-free trays, plus two additional 2.5" SSD slots.
- Comprehensive I/O Ports: Includes 1 Type-C Gen 2 10 Gbps port, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and a combo audio/mic jack.
- Powerful Cooling Performance: Supports up to seven fans, with three pre-installed. Two fan speed switches adjust airflow—one for front and bottom intake, and another for rear and top exhaust. Also supports a 360 mm radiator on the top panel.

A Case for the PC Master Race!
I had a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000. Case looked sleek and clean, but had some of the worst cooling. It came with sound dampening foam on the side panels, but honestly I couldn't tell you if it was even useful simply because of the fact that the tower only had 4 spots for fans in it (one on the bottom, one on the rear and two on top) so it wasn't very loud to begin with. I wouldn't hold my breath about any sound dampening foam to actually be useful.
I love the 5.25" bays....not enough cases with these anymore and before anyone says they're outdate or no longer needed, you're out of your mind! I've got two drives to use in those spots and even HDD bracket for 5.25" bays should I need another spot for another storage disk.
I'm very tempted to get this sucker and see how functional it is.
This would be great for an "every penny counts" kind of server or workstation build.
as a workstation case this is very good, lots of space, the sheet is quite thick and not flimsy
looking at this version II, the only difference between it and version I is that they added a cutout on the mobo tray that appears to be for a video card anti-sag bracket
you'd think at least they'll go away with the 5" ODD bays and put HDD cages up to the top
The version featured in this news post ("Titan Silent 2") is worse, IMO, because it closes off the front intake in the name of "silence." If only they could make one that ditches the transparent panel and the RGB nonsense while maintaining the open front intake. I wouldn't buy this variant for that reason. YMMV.
Anyway, my brief review of a nearly identical case is that it's surprisingly well made. Build quality impressed me; it's roughly on par with that of my Fractal cases. The only caveat is that the space behind the motherboard tray is farcically tight. You can rout you cables back there, but you have to be a damn surgeon. Also I can't speak to the quality of the fans because they're the first thing I replaced. Other than that, it's great. Airflow, at least on the open variant, is quite good.
EDIT: To be clear, it appears I'm actually discussing three different SKUs in this post. There's the "Titan Silent 2," from the OP, which suffers from a closed front intake. Then there's the "Master M905-RGB," which was the model I bought last year. But the "Master M905-RGB" was evidently superceded by the "Master TG," which is exactly the same case I bought, except that its side panel is tempered glass rather than transparent plastic. If you want a lot of HDD mounts, the "Master TG" is a solid, and perhaps uniquely affordable, option. I would absolutely skip the Titan Silent 2.
(Anyway, a step in the right direction.) I'd want 4, or maybe 5. Useful for drive trays. I also use an optical drive.
On the other hand, too much height for me. No need for so many 3.5" bays.
And I love that front panel
EDIT, ah I see now, my bad, I typed 3.25 inch when I meant 5.25 inch lol
