I wouldn't mind this as much if it looked more like Audio equipment to fit into my audio rack. At this point, it looks like a Mini-Tower PC....

Also, with all of that space couldn't they at least integrate a power supply into it?

Hey now, some of us have a 8-year old Antec case that only supports 80mm fans. I couldn't justify spending another $100-$200 to replace it when upgrading the rest of my computer. The thing is a beast, I've used it as a step-stool in the past. Weighs like 40-50 pounds with everything in it. But yeah, the 5 80mm fans are a little noisy.

Then at least have the decency to treat your ancient case with some proper fans! pick up a bunch of arctic cooling's 80mm pwm controlled fans. They come with a cable loop attached so u can add a bunch of them to your cpu cooler's pwm jack and just activate it in your bios ....
if you ask me $100 is a small price to pay for a significant noise reduction.
 
When I play on my x360 the speakers shake the walls. If I can't hear my wife complaining, then I certainly can't hear the x360.

Heh, my case has room for 4 80mm and 1 120mm. Ended up modding a 60mm in one of the 80mm spots because the PSU gets in the way. xD

Admittedly not silent, but good enough when you're careful with the RPMs (I find that over a certain RPM temps say the same and noise goes way up)
