Hi Xbitlabs,

From my personal expierence I would like to say, that this case is great, but there are some problems. First of all, I cannot understand why didn't you hear low frequency sound. Maybe it is not so irritating for a start, but after a while it becomes really irritating. I use a Titan Vanessa for cpu - it is cooled passivly at idle. And Zalman vf700cu for vga. The only sound I am hearing are those tiny fans, which emmit it. Furthermore, cas is rather small for a atx mobo (DFI UT NF4 ultra-d).

Nice review, these cases are good, but only
2x5.25" drive bays?

And on page 8 I see a Western Digital HD being
installed, but the setup says there are 2 Seagate HDs. Is the WD just a installation sample?

Yeah, these cases are just too ugly, and the two-tone color schemes are nasty. Give me an all-silver or all-black case, it looks like the T3-T5 were assembled by color-blind people who put the wrong side panels and front panels together.

Silentium T1 should include two boxes to harddisks. I have two ata133 harddisks and that is a bit of problem.

I have to wonder about this design of sucking in air right from the floor level; I would imagine dust being even more of a problem in that scenario.

The silentium is an exelent product.
I have used it for about 1 year.
Got passive cooling on the 3500+ cpu (no fan)
ATI x800XL (saphire ultimate - very silent)
2 GB ram (4x512)
2 DVD's

Even the wife finds it acceptable (very silent)

I am really worried about the medications of many people use... thats the reason because show that theme to you... The Drugs like the ATIVAN

the most important things about ativan

The Ativan (Lorazepam) is a benzodiazepine with CNS depressant, anxiolytic and sedative properties. Peak serum concentrations of free lorazepam after oral administration are reached in 1 to 6 hours. Peak concentrations are reached in 60 to 90 minutes after i.m. administration and in 60 minutes after sublingual administration. Lorazepam is 85% bound to plasma proteins. Lorazepam is rapidly conjugated to an inactive glucuronide. Very small amounts of other metabolites have also been isolated in man. The serum half-life of lorazepam is approximately 12 to 15 hours while the half-life of the conjugate is 16 to 20 hours. Ninety-five percent of the drug was excreted within 120 hours, 88% in the urine and 6.6% in the stool.

In the same calification we can find drugs like

Vicoprofen, that drug is supplied in a fixed combination tablet form for oral administration. VICOPROFEN combines the opioid analgesic agent, hydrocodone bitartrate, with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) agent, ibuprofen tha means is a semisynthetic and centrally acting opioid analgesic.
Vicoprofen is a combination of an opioid analgesic (pain reliever related to narcotics, hydrocodone) and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen). Both medications are effective against pain. It is estimated that one tablet of Vicoprofen is as effective as two tablets of Tylenol #3 (acetaminophen 300 mg plus codeine 30 mg). Vicoprofen was approved by the FDA in 1997.
This medication is used for short-term relief of pain. It is not recommended for such chronic conditions as arthritis.
This medication is taken by mouth, usually one tablet every 4 to 6 hours as necessary for pain. Dosage should not exceed 5 tablets per day. Treatment is for 10 days or less unless otherwise directed. Follow all instructions exactly to receive good pain relief. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if your pain is not relieved. Take this medication with a full glass (8 oz or 240 ml) of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking this drug. After a period of time, this medicine may not work as well. If this occurs, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Prolonged or excessive use of this product may cause dependency (or addiction). Do not increase your dosage or use more often than directed.


Hydrocodone is habit forming. It is possible become physically and/or psychologically dependent on the medication. Do not take more than the prescribed amount of medication or take it for longer than is directed by your doctor. Withdrawal effects may occur if hydrocodone and acetaminophen is stopped suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Your doctor may recommend a gradual reduction in dose.

Lortab, this is Hydrocodone (related to codeine) is in a class of drugs called narcotic analgesics. It relieves pain, the Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of hydrocodone.
Together, acetaminophen and hydrocodone are used to relieve moderate-to-severe pain.
Lortab may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

I use a "Silentium T2" in my Music-Studio! Best buy ever!!! 6stars ****** of 5!

It's as silent as water-cooling!!!

I use the CPU-cooler "Freezer 7 Pro" from Artic Cooling too! Highly recommended!!
Total silent!!!!

Sometimes I even think my CPU-Coolers have stopped working!! I can hear it sometimes at 80-90% load of the CPU! But just as a Silent breeze! Isn’t that good or what??

I use a P4 3.4 MHz socket 775!

The only thing that might be poor in the Case is the Power Supply! Power is Max 450Watt! But if you not planed to use the Case with any SLI-graphic cards it will just works fine!

Just buy it!!! Worth every Cent!!! "ANTEC Sonata" is a joke in comparing to Artic Cooling Silentium!!!!
