We take the issue of noise very seriously at KitGuru and this is why we have built our test system to be as quiet as possible. We can eliminate secondary noise pollution in the test room and concentrate specifically on the individual components we are testing. It also brings us slightly closer to industry standards, such as DIN 45635.
Today to test the chassis we have taken it into our acoustics room and have set our Digital Sound Level Noise Decibel Meter Style 2 one meter away from the case. This represents a real world situation and gives us an accurate reading of the noise level produced by the fans inside the Anidees Al6 Mid Tower.
As this can be a little confusing for people, here are various dBa ratings in with real world situations to help describe the various levels.

The noise level produced by the fans in the Anidees Al6 was very good indeed. Our Style 2 Digital Sound Level Meter registered a reading of 33.7 dBA with the fans in the Al6 running at full speed. Anidees should be proud especially considering this is their first product to hit the market.
brilliant. I reviewed this on overclockers and I think it is one of the best value cases you can buy. It can even take my big video card with plenty of room left over. I thought i might need to add a fan, but it cooled fine and I liked the lower noise.
If you overclock your processor to the limits you might need to add another fan or two to help flow the air, but otherwise, top drawer release from Anidees, one to keep looking out for.
That is really nice, first case under £100 ive liked the look of.
I love the design, very nicely done. Might order one for my new rig
I look forward to what they come out with next
