Testing Setup
Testing will consist of two tests. A noise level test where a sound meter will be placed a couple of feet directly in front of the case. We will put the system through some tests to see how loud (or quiet) the case is. Then we will be testing the ability of the case to dissipate the heat outside of the case. To do this I will mount 4 thermal probes inside the four general corners of the case. We will load up the system a few times to generate some heat and see how well the case can keep its cool.
