i decided to buy one of the phanteks eclipse p400 cases to transfer my build to. but undecided on going with tempered glass vs the p400s acrylic or non-window versions. anyone have any suggestions or experiences on if tempered glass is noisier compared to the other 2 options? i would like to see my pc parts through the window but silence is my number 1 priority

acryllic will be the noisiest of the 3, so eliminate it.

as for tempered glass, it tends to be very good with noise, although i've only dealt with it in applications other than a pc case window. I guess it all depends on the metal thickness and if sound deadening material is used on the non-windowed case. if you want a window then the glass is a no-brainer. i find it hard to believe you would get very much noise through it
