Windows In Cases

[EmTSea19]

I am wondering if windows in cases make the cases more loud? Especially in already thin aluminum cases? I was thinking about getting the Kingwin with three already modded windows, but I am concerned it may be really loud.

I guess anyone with an all clear acrylic case could answer this question too.

Thanks :)

yeah it makes it a little louder but not by very much, you will be able to tell a difference, but not by much.

I can't tell the difference because on my old case I never had the side panel on:D

Okay, well that's good to know.

340, I like your artwork on the side of the case!

I couldn't tell if it got louder or not.

Go for it! :)

well if you cut out the hole in the panel but dont install the window in it (like me) it gets louder :p

PS: I am almost done with my case and monitor mods :D

Mine prolly got louder, but my abundance of fans has already deafened me, so I couldn't tell. :D:D:D

There's no way to tell unless you actually use a sound meter. It's pretty neglidgable as far I'm I'm concerned. Add the window may have actually made my case a little quieter since it buffers the panel enough to prevent vibration.
