In the past few years we have seen the move towards quiet computing. In the early days of modding, the aim was to achieve a well-cooled system no matter what the cost, with the "cost" usually being annoyingly loud fans. No more, some have said. With the multitude of other "quiet cases" out there currently, Nexus has set out to beat them all with their Caterpillar, dubbed the "Silent System PC Case". Can this innovative case live up to the promises?

If you are looking for a good case with a focus on silence and good cooling then the Nexus Caterpillar may be just right for you. We take a look at this case and show you it pro's and cons.

Nexus is known for their silent 120mm fans, today we have their latest product in for test, an ATX case build for silence, with 2x120mm fans and foam padding it aims to keep the noise down, but can it keep a high end system cool at the same time?

Opening the case I was greeted by an interesting and, to me, unique layout . Two things that got my eyes to widen a bit were the noise absorption material around the interior and the placement of the hard drive cage. Installed inside the case are two Nexus Real Silent 120mm fans, one placed at the lower front of the case as an intake and the other as an exhaust at the lower middle rear of the case. Having used Nexus fans before, I can tell you that they are quiet and adding to the silence both fans are mounted with rubber pins/rivets. I tryed to remove the front panel to get a good look at how the sliding door worked, but it was secured really tight and I couldn't get to the left side holding clips and didn't want to break anything, I can tell you that its done with spring tension. The interior is almost completely covered in the sound wave foam including the removable side, the only place its missing is where the hard drive cage is located, where the power supply mounts and the front panel area.

Once everything was installed I powered up the pc and I had to check the fans were spinning as it is practically silent, especially with the cpu cooler fan turned down to low speed. Just the occasional murmur from the hard drive and that's it. Nice!

Now Nexus has come up with a new case in their range of quiet cases, the Caterpillar. It comes equipped with two quiet fans and the panels are covered in sound-absorbing material. How well have they accomplished with the compromise between being quiet and having a good ventilation this time?
