Hence the reason why there are no fans in this case. Yes, there have been lots and lots of threads on this case, one I remember asking about the practicality of it. I remember shoobie brought up some good points. What about home theatre systems? Every decible of sound there counts! You dont want to hear a single other thing when you are watching a movie. How about big office environments? I really dont know how good of an argument that is, I dont see a CFO wanting to pay upwards of $3000 a machine, so really the only practical application of that case. Either that, or just the novelty of having it. I tell ya, if I had the dough, I would buy that case in a heartbeat!
