    Cooler Master N200 vs 352

    Considering both of these cases for a new build and just wondering if anyone has opinions regarding wither of these cases? Am particularly interested in the 352 as to whether it is much quieter than a "normal" case without insulation.

    sort of.
    The thing about the 352 is the top vent cover, which means you cannot use a fan with it on, will help stop noise leaking out, as does the front door.
    The foam insulation can help reduce noise but generally it's the last step in reducing noise, the right fans and reducing vibration is generally the first step.

    The internal frame of the N200 and silenco 352 is basically the same, the only real difference is the front, side panels and the top vent cover.
    the 352 panels are not only foam backed but also the pressed out indent on them is shallower, so there's less space for cables behind the motherboard tray and max cpu cooler size is reduced.
    If you're planning to use a stock cooler, it's not an issue but most 120mm fan based tower coolers will not fit in the 352 but will in the n200

    As an alternative I'd have a look at the ACE Ecco 250 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/ace-e...oofing-w-o-psu which is very good as a low cost mATX case option.

    Allot will depend on what you plan to put into it and what you want out of it?

    Both have 240mm radiator support for a small case that's really good. The 352 is more for quietness.
