| The Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 is an mATX-tower case which is very well done and definitely convincing regarding the soundproofing. The quality of materials is on very good level, including the plastic parts. Despite its small size you can install large heatsinks, several hard disks and high-end graphics cards. The design is very elegant, the number of I/O connections are easily accessible on the front of the case. Last but not
the least, the bundle of the DS4 is very rich and there are interesting accessories such as an extension power cable
for the CPU, an adapter from 5.25" to 3.5" and zip-ties. |

| Overall the build quality is on a good level. Nanoxia did
not make the mistake to go for super thin side panels in order to save weight. They used solid metal sheets and paired
it up with noise isolation material which gives it good stability and reasonable stiffness. Furthermore, it has been easy to install hardware in the case. We also liked that there were several holes in the motherboard tray to route cables to the backside of the board. However, the DS4 is not flawless. The things get a
bit confusing when we talk about the front fan, since we would like to
see an easier way to change the fan, without removing the entire front panel. |

| Nanoxia created a very decent and good looking design for the Deep Silence 4. They chose to move the buttons and connectors away from the front panel
and to the top of the case. The case is well ventilated, however we would
rather see a double slot fans on top of the case. The Deep Silence 4 uses tool-less elements for the 5.25" and 3.5" devices, two choices decidedly well-aimed. |
