I'm trying to find a new PC case that offers sound deadening features and also has a glass panel. I recently upgraded from my old Fractal Design Define R6, and I didn't realize how much I valued the noise dampening it provided until I started hearing HDD noise and coil whine in my new setup. I've been looking for something similar to the R6, but it's been tough. I was really hoping to find a Pop Silent, but I found out they no longer make them with glass panels in white. Any suggestions?

The Fractal Design Define series with a glass panel is also a solid option if you can find it. It’s pretty much what you're looking for.
Consider the Antec Performance 1. My Performance 1 Silent has great sound deadening and insulation, though it is a bit larger than some might want, but I really like it.
I own the Be Quiet Light Base 900, but honestly, it’s huge! If you’re looking for something manageable, go for the 600 model instead. It has lots of glass and is really quiet.
Another one you might want to check out is the Cooler Master Silencio. It has great sound-dampening capabilities.
I'd recommend taking a look at the Phanteks P600S. It’s one of their P-series cases, and while I'm not sure if they still make it, it was super quiet for me unless all the fans were cranked up.
I’ve heard good things about the P600S as well! Definitely worth considering.
Have you checked out the Be Quiet cases? They’re specifically designed for quiet builds and come with sound-dampening features.
Yeah, the size can be a bit much! The 600 sounds like a better choice for a compact build.
