Leaving aside boxes for Silent Computing, in charge sound input panels, the sound produced by the PC case depends on many factors, from where, the internal Hardware (and especially the cool stuff) to the same box quality and its construction. A fist, for example, a front grille with square holes will make a lot more noise than a built-in beehive (it's simply aerodynamics), whether its side is metal or made of glass.
The factors that influence the sound
As a general rule, the metal sides of the boxes are fitted with spears or rails, and fastened at the back by two scales. On the other side of it, the sides of the glass are warm usually traveling with rubber bands that will not hit the delicate glass and, at the same time, help catch the movement, which just means less noise. This will definitely depend not only on the quality of the box design, but also on its design.
So why is the popular belief that glass boxes are found at the top? The answer will be found in the shape of the boxes. Since the glass is supported by rubber bands, it usually leaves lthe long night between the case and the glass part, meaning that part of the noise emitted by the PC's internal components goes out there with nothing to reduce it. Yes not many times, this Depending on the box layout.
Warm glass vs metal side, what makes a little noise?
Technically, the heated glass is thicker and heavier than the standard steel side, and let's not talk about those metal parts that include transparent acrylic sheets that are only partially clamped, which is less than perfect and, as a result, it is more prone to vibration.
Usually a box with a side panel of silent glass will be silent there is one side of the metal in this simple fact: it vibrates slightly because of its size, durability, and that it is made of a single piece.
All things being equal, considering that both the stained glass and the metal side will experience the same vibration, due to the thickness of the heated glass will drop before and the sound they will emit when vibrating is going to be too loud and therefore less noticeable there are metal sides.
So, usually warm glass boxes not only that they will have less noise that those on the metal side, but also promote a bit more peace (leaving aside, as we said before, the Silent Computing boxes with input panels, of course). It will depend, and you will have to look carefully when buying a box, when there is plenty of free space between the glass and the metal, where the sound of the interior will come out.
