I closed my eyes, put earplugs in, and pushed the silver power button. I was very surprised to find that I didn’t hear any loud noises. The NZXT fans included were dead silent; I only heard the PSU and heat sink fans! They don’t move as much air as their louder brothers do, but with this many fans, it really won’t matter.
