Our first meeting this week at Computex is with Be Quiet! and we were shown a new case aimed at low noise output, due for the market in September.&nbsp; The Case With No Name (they are still deciding) will be around $130 and in orange, silver and black.&nbsp; Both of the side panels and the front fan grill is lined with a sound absorbent foam, and the case comes with four fans preinstalled.</p>

The side panels use a latch mechanism so users who want more air flow can open them up by about 1cm, and the case also provides room for cable management.&nbsp; The extra space at the bottom is to aid airflow through the power supply which is also fitted with a rubberized shim to reduce vibrations.&nbsp; Interestingly enough one of the hard drive combination bays can also migrate to the set of ODD bays depending on the user.&nbsp; There is space for a dual radiator cooler at the top, with space in the top segment to also equip the fans.&nbsp; The power button and USB ports are on the top, along with special vents to minimize the fan noise out of the top of the case.</p>

On the power supply front Be Quiet! has two new models, the Straight Power 10 and the Straight Power 10 CM (cable management), featuring their new 135mm Silent Wings 3 fan.&nbsp; The fan has an upgraded motor to reduce the noise, and Be Quiet are working on a consumer model aside from their power supply designs.&nbsp; For the PSUs, they will be rated at 80 PLUS Gold and offered in 400W-700W for the Straight Power 10 and 500-800W for the Straight Power 10 CM.&nbsp; The later should be coming to North America, whereas the former has focus in other markets.</p>
