Cooler Master Silencio 650

The Silencio's ability to muffle high-end hardware is undoubtedly its key selling point, but there's more. Other noteworthy features include a "DualBoot HDD Switch" for toggling between OSes, a fan speed controller, a memory card reader, 1amp USB 3.0 ports for charging smartphones and tablets, as well as X-Dock.
