To conduct our noise level tests, we replaced the graphics card in our system with a AMD Radeon HD 5550 Silence which was passively cooled. We also momentarily disconnected the fans on the CPU cooler so we were only taking into account the noise generated by the fans in the case.
The Antec GX500 isn't exactly silent with the fans at full speed but they can easily be quietened down using the inbuilt fan controller.

Hi there, and thanks for the review, I found it really informative.
Even though this is a so-called budget case, would I be able to switch the top 2x120mm fans with a 240mm rad from, say, the Antec H20 Kuhler 1250?
Look forward to hearing from you soon, and sorry for the inconvenience!
Cheers,
Bharathan
