O11 vs Meshify2 vs Define7

I am building a new desktop and wanted a stylish case that would be fairly silent and has a glass panel.

I was thinking of buying one of these:

PC-O11 DYNAMIC MIDI-TOWER - WHITE WINDOW (link)
MESHIFY S2 MIDI TOWER CASE - WHITE TEMPERED GLASS
DEFINE 7 MID-TOWER CASE - WHITE CLEAR TINT TEMPERED GLASS (link)

At the moment I am leaning towards the define 7 just for the noise.

Also I noticed that the glass panel comes in different tint for the Define 7, what does it change for the aesthetics, would a darker tint accentuate the RGB colors ?

Just wanted to comment, I’m in a very similar position however I’m looking at the O11D XL in white and the Meshify 2 in white instead of the S2. You might want to look into the Meshify 2 as well as it is a newer version of the S2 for a cheaper price too.

if you’re after a quiet pc then the Define 7 is definitely going to be a little more quiet just by the fact it has more solid panels. But the Meshify 2 and the O11D definitely beat it in aesthetics for me at least.

those solid panels in the Define 7 don't deliver exceptional cooling though. I had to cut through mine and fit a mesh panel instead.

Yup, trading temps for lower noise. They are pretty much the same case, just with a mesh front or a solid front.

Meshify all the way for me I value temps over sound. If I can have both then great, but temps are more important to the longevity of the chips.
