they are just simply noisy, at low speeds, at moderate speeds when compared even with "cheap" artic fans. I had experience with other case brands, for the cost theirs are really bad
Well, not sure what else to say other than my Lancool III with stock fans is honestly the quietest case I've ever owned, quieter than some "silence"-focused cases I've bought in the past with noise-dampening padding. This is after I've customized the fan curve, but I've never had temps this good with a fan curve this restrained before. Would fans from arctic, noctua, or other companies be even quieter? Maybe, but this is still pretty quiet to me, as someone who values low noise levels.

There's always the comparison factor, someone screaming is still quiet compared to a thunder. That's also not my point, for that price, fans should be a little better.

Okay, don't be ridiculous. I said quiet because I meant quiet. It's nearly inaudible at idle in a sealed room with no other sources of noise. Not sure how else I can communicate this.

Pretty nice case overall.

Be nice if there was a hdd/pwr led and I prefer having mic and ears on separate plugs also.

Does anyone know if there is any point in placing 2x 140mm fans at the bottom? Or does the placement of a PSU not completely block the air passage for the fan(s)? (Btw I've never built a PC before as a heads up) It's weirdly the only thing I'm concerned about in this case even though I've seen a video using two bottom intake fans. If one of the two 140mm fans is blocked by the PSU I can stick to using one at the bottom right?

There will be an inch or so of space for the fan over the PSU to pull air through. It's not a lot, but it'll do something. That fan will also pull in air from behind and the side of the PSU. The other fan closer to the front of the case will move more air. I'd just do both if you're gonna use the bottom fan slots at all, though they're not necessary for good performance.

Alright, thanks for the info. Anyways, I watched a video and apparently, it showed that some 140mm could potentially not fit in the rear of the case, including Lian Li's own daisy chaining fans, I'm hoping I won't have to face this issue if I get the case.
