One of Nanoxia&rsquo;s raisons d&rsquo;&ecirc;tre is for the ultra-silent cases, even if fans are involved.&nbsp; Part of the complexity of silent designs with fans is managing the air intakes and vents as this is where the noise will come from.&nbsp; The latest in Nanoxia&rsquo;s quest for silence is the Deep Silence 3, a steel mid-tower sized chassis to fit ATX, mATX and mini-ITX sized systems.&nbsp; Compared to the previous Deep Silence models, this number three is aimed at the more budget and size conscious users.</p>

Nanoxia is keen to promote its use of decoupled mounting of the hard disks and power supply along with anti-vibration feet and a dense foam padding designed to absorb vibrations.&nbsp; This foam is used primarily in the front of the case behind the vanity panel, at the top with the fan mounting holes and inside the case panels.&nbsp; The case can support eight storage drives (five 3.5&rdquo;/2.5&rdquo;, three dedicated 2.5&rdquo;) and graphics cards up to 345 mm.&nbsp; By removing the hard drive cage, this length extends up to 430mm.</p>

For cooling, the case uses two 120mm fans in the front and a third at the rear, with an integrated 2-channel fan controller.&nbsp; There is space for two 120/140mm fans at the top if the Nanoxia foam covers are removed, and another space for a 120mm at the bottom when the secondary HDD-cage is removed.&nbsp; The IO panel gives two USB 3.0, a USB 2.0 as well as audio ports.</p>

Dustin has previously reviewed a small number of Nanoxia cases, some of which are distributed within the US.&nbsp; The Deep Silence 3 should be with distributors in Europe as of today, although no formal North America date has been announced.</p>
