Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

With the side panels off we see that the chassis comes with a great selection of cable management options, with a wide selection of cut-outs each fitted with rubber grommets placed all over the back plate. There is a decent size cut away at the top to allow for easy CPU cooler installations. One of my favourite features is the flat cable for the USB 3.0 header, it maybe a simple thing but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in one of our chassis reviews and is way more flexible than all the others I’ve seen.

Here we get a better view of the 140mm fan and the PCI slot covers. Everything here is well spaced and ventilated thanks to the chassis being fairly wide. This should make for an easy installation process.

The right side of the chassis features 3 quick release 5.25″ drive bays and 8 hard drive bays in a 2+3+3 layout. The hard drive bays all support 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives and are very modular, check out the diagram below to see what I mean.

Below you can see the layout options for the hard drive bays, giving you room for extremely long graphics cards, better airflow and even room for a front mounted radiator when you move the drives to the centre bracket.

The top of the chassis you can see there is plenty of room and mounting options for cooling here, with screw holes cut for 2 x 120mm, 2 x 140mm, 1 x 200mm fans or even a double width water cooling radiator.

The rear side gives us a much better view of the cable management options, such as the cut-outs and tie down loops.

Both side panels have a large heavy duty padding on them, this will help reduce vibrations and noise from within the chassis. The side panels are seriously heavy duty and even without the padding I don’t think this chassis is going to rattle or vibrate much any time soon.
