Anecdotal, but even with the new fans, stamped out grills still perform poorly in terms of noise. They're popular because they're cheap.
I'd gladly pay $10 more for a PC case with a less noisy grill, but I can't find any that has this, not even ones that are advertised as "silent".
- rtkwe 4y agoIt's a pretty easy mod if you really want to swap to wire grills. 10 minutes with a dremel and 10 more to make it look ok again and you can have a completely open fan mount.
