TNN-500A Totally No Noise Case - Where to Buy
Conclusion:
The
TNN 500A is one of a kind. It has a love it or hate it look but it
does what it says on the box. It is impressive, it is unique, it
is of superb quality and, most importantly, it is quiet, quiet,
quiet. Is it worth the hefty price tag? Absolutely! If you value a
no noise environment this is the ultimate no noise case for you.

"we
were very impressed with the engineering effort that went into the
design of the TNN 500A, we feel that it is one of the most
impressive solutions that we have seen to date that addresses
computing noise with an adequate cooling solution for the internal
components....if you have a high requirement for an almost totally
silent solution, it doesn't get much better than the TNN
500A"

"Ja
was soll man da noch sagen, ein Sahnestück der Superlative. Da
bekomme ich feuchte Augen. Heatpipes (18 Stück!!) und Kühlkörper
bis zum abwinken. Ruhe
in Vollendeter Form da es ein in sich völlig geschlossenes Gehäuse
ist. Das erste PC Gehäuse wo man auch die optischen Laufwerke dämmen
und entkoppeln kann ! Mehr
ist technisch nicht machbar! Leiser
gehts nicht!"
I
think they mean that they like it :-)
Google's
translation of that page goes like this:
"cream
of the superlative. ... I get damp eyes. Peace in completed form
...More is technically not feasible! More quietly it gets
not!"

"So
why is this case so special? Well, for starters it’s not beige,
but much more importantly, it is completely noiseless ... With the
complete removal of cooling fans it is truly a ground breaking
product"

Other
reviews:
"We
were impressed by the Poweroid 1200, which does its main job –
near-silent operation – very well indeed....if you really need a
quiet computer, then a PC built around the Zalman TNN 500A case -
such as the Poweroid 1200 - is currently the state of the
art" ZDNet
