That looks like the Fractal Define 6 case which already has built in soundproofing. I have mine on a desk doing the exact same job with even more drives and I don’t even hear it from a couple feet away.

I assume that’s all sound proofing. How well does it work? And like the other commenter asked, I’m curious how it affects the temperature

Yeah its one of the ones that I think went off the define 6 design, I’ve got a Corsair case with a similar design/layout but no latches, I had to do a closer look too.

It’s a really old corsair case I picked up for free. It’s also packed with noctua fans 😂

Picked this one up for $20!
Packed with no-name fans, which I ended up pulling. My media cabinet below the TV has a PC and some other gear, so I have a temp sensor and fan controller hooked up to those no-names now right in there. Works great!

The sound proofing helps a ton. This sits in my living room and I can barely hear it. There’s also a second fan hiding on the bottom for intake, while the top is just exhaust. Keeps temps nice and cool
positively… 🔥
