I'm going to be building a dual system inside the new Phantek P400. One of the system for my desk, which is the rig I will be on for gaming, the second will be for my TV which is also in the living room.
With this in mind, you can rest assured I'll be aiming for silence.
I hope this build will inspire more people to make dual system builds as they have a good use, but I rarely see any. Dual systems enable a user to have two computers within arms reach while possibly reducing physically the size needed of two seperate systems.
I started this build a few months ago and I thought you guys might like to follow
