Revised Silencio RC-550?

bremen1874 · 15 Jul 2011 at 02:06

I was half considering getting a Cooler Master Silencio RC-550.

Having read various reviews I’ve seen mention of a slightly modified version of the case with, amongst other things, different sound deadening foam on the right-hand side panel and at least one additional cable management hole.

Does anyone know if the revised version of the case is out there and available? If it is, is there any easy way to identify which version is for sale (different part # perhaps)?

I emailed Cooler Master about this about a week ago and haven’t had a reply.

Thanks.

I didn't even know there was a new/different revision. Let me ask CM now

The review over at XSReviews mentions a revised version, and has a link to a pdf containing details of the changes.

I've never seen any other reference to the existance of a revised version.

The pdf can be found here http://xsreviews.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Silencio-550-EC-notice_20110616.pdf

Hopefully XSReviews aren't linked to a competitor.

Seen a review, it is not pretty, the case is more for media centres then gaming.

The stock fans are said to be dire...

Check out CCR's review on You tube.

It's designed to be as quiet as possible and is perfectly capable of cooling a high end system, it does what it was designed to pretty well.

As far as I am aware I was quoting this review.

This is from someone who has actually built in the case.
