SeekerFractal Design Pop Silent
After the release of the airflow-hungry Torrent line, Fractal Design dials back to deliver a more minimal, silence-focused Pop Silent case. It’s impressively quiet thanks to sound-dampening foam, and affordable. But we’d prefer better airlfow, even if that meant adding a few decibels.
