What material would that be? And, won't it prevent the airflow and/or prevent heat from exiting the case? > Conspicuously absent are drive cages; but I do see drive > case mounting screw holes.

I got an idea, aren't the noise specified by the manufacturer? Here it says "Low-noise operation of up to 14.9dB(A)", that's for the Shadow Wings 2 140mm PWM. <https://www.bequiet.com/en/casefans/1701> The CPU fans are "Low-noise operation of up to 15.9dB(A)", the Shadow Wings 2 120mm PWM. <https://www.bequiet.com/en/casefans/1626> And the non-PWM Shadow Wings 2 140mm is "Low-noise operation of up to 14.7dB(A)" <https://www.bequiet.com/en/casefans/1699> So that's 4/5 fans accounted for, I have to restart the computer to see exactly what fan the remaining is. Anyway db(A): 14.9, 15.9 (2), 14.7 How is it with db(A), if you have x db(A) from one thing, and you have two of these, does that mean you perceive that as 2x db(A)?
