GameMax Introduces Titan Silent 2 Chassis

[btarunr]

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.

The GameMax Titan Silent 2 workstation E-ATX chassis will be launched with an MSRP of $79.90.

OH HEAVENS YEAH! Finally a Case worth the time, no rainbow vomit anywhere. 5.25 Expansion Bays! Plenty of 3.5/2.5 expansion, and pci too!

A Case for the PC Master Race!

They have an interesting idea of what “active” noise cancellation means. Sound-proofing foam on panels is about as far from active as it gets.

Holy smokes - only $80? That can't be right. And no RGB crap. Yes!

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.

It's why im keeping my case, its great to see a company getting back to what made the PC special

Apart from the bs anc claim and E atx for "maximum performance"....why does it even have a 3.25 inch bay, let alone 3... Waste of space. Honestly this just is an old case they still had the molds/machines for

 

[DirtyDingusMcgee]

These Gamemax cases are alright. I've used a few. They are cheap, and the materials reflect it, but they are definitely decent, and thoughtfully put together.

This would be great for an "every penny counts" kind of server or workstation build.

I the version 1 (M905S) of the case that houses my NAS, the only issue I have with it is that the pictures on the seller's page showed mesh on one of the removable front panels and that was not the case; the one with mesh is a different model
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

 

[Chaitanya]

Missing mesh on side and front panel to bring temps of components in check.

Some of us still use harddrives. I keep my raid in my workstation. I have no need for a NAS as I am the only user.

 

[Readlight]

Very good.

 

[sepheronx]

This is what I have been looking for.

 

[RootinTootinPootin]

looking forward to this for my Home Server setup.

looking forward to this for my Home Server setup.

That is a lot of 24TB drives, possibly 192TB.

 

[Why_Me]

Great, a case with no airflow.

 

[Hakker]

Great, a case with no airflow.

And you think those fish tanks have better airflow?

I own a different variant of the same case. I bought it basically on a whim for my file server, because I was amazed to find a cheap-ish case with so many HDD mounts in the year of our Lord 2023. In addition to 8 stock HDD mounts, this one also has three 5.25" mounts, which allowed me to use a third party cage to add another five HDD mounts, bringing my total up to 13.

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.

 

[Why_Me]

I'm not a fan of fish tank cases.

 

[nageme]

I don't understand. No glass panels. No RGB fans. Is this a case? How? Can it work? Does not compute.

(Anyway, a step in the right direction.)

why does it even have a 3.25 inch bay, let alone 3... Waste of space.

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.

 

[Mack4285]

Cheap case usually means thin steel. Otherwise this case looks a bit more oldschool, which I like.

 

[Canned Noodles]

Holy mackerel - $80? That’s amazing! It reminds me of the Corsair Obsidian 750D, but even better
And I love that front panel

 

[freeagent]

It looks like it was made in 2008 on the inside

 

[Random_User]

And you think those fish tanks have better airflow?

Suffocated, with no airflow. But the RGB(loat) must be completely compensating this 'minor' issue.

 

[ZoneDymo]

Some of us still use harddrives. I keep my raid in my workstation. I have no need for a NAS as I am the only user.

Sure I also have HDD's still,, hell I am actually making a VM nas etc just for fun and using them for that....but I also know that if I would get serious with that stuff you would not stick with HDD's, you would get SSD's, faster and they use less power, it just makes much more sense for the enviroment, but also my problem is not with the harddrive bays (despite them taking up too much space if you are going for ssd's), its with the 5.25 inch bays, the CD Rom drives bays, who still has any use for that let alone 3 of the dang things....

EDIT, ah I see now, my bad, I typed 3.25 inch when I meant 5.25 inch lol

Youre missing the point of the case, not everyone wants a plain box
