Old school case. Reminds me a bit of the Cooler Master Storm Trooper.

Wait do I spot a 3.5"/5.25" bay? Is it the early 2000's again?

Mate, there's a hot-swap dock there. Good memories from my Cougar Volant.

Old school but I like the fact that they provide 2 usb 2.0, 2 usb 3.0 and one usb c.

Most of the modern cases only do two usb a and one c.

Say what you will about Gamemax, but they recently released a case that I really want to get hands on or see a review of it (hint TPU). It is the "N80" and I think it looks good and is interesting....

Seen the top one, dude, but I meant the one in the front bays.

Yes, I understood. My point is this case is full 00's/early 10's.

I'm still waiting to see the Titan Silent 2 hit the shelves. Almost two months since it was posted about coming out soon.....

Gamermax only talk about these cases or are they going to actually get them out to the public sometime soon? I'm impatient.

ah, my bad.

I would've loved this case 20 years ago.

Apart from the angled panels and the hotswap bay, this looks like another clone of the "Master" line of cases. I have one housing my file server, as described below. Surprisingly good product. My only complaint is that there's insufficient space for cable routing behind the motherboard tray.

Actually, wait. If I'm reading the specs right, they may have widened the Dragon 2 by 10 mm. Interesting. If that's accurate--and I'm frankly not sure I believe it, given that the chassis looks identical otherwise--then my complaint might be settled. The use case for the Dragon 2 seems questionable, though; it's clearly most useful for someone who cares deeply about HDD storage, and yet it's styled for teenage gamers. Schizophrenic design. Still, cases with ample HDD mounts are extremely rare these days. There are maybe three credible candidates from truly mainstream manufacturers, and those tend to be extremely dated now (e.g. Fractal R5).

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.
