Zalman Noise Prevention System
TNN(Totally No Noise) Computer Case
TNN Computer Enclosures are the world’s first environment-friendly noiseless computer
enclosures that operate without the use of a fan. TNN Computer Enclosures use the
aluminum enclosure itself as a heatsink. They are ideal for environments that require silence,
as well as for home theatre systems and multi-media systems.
Stable performance and noiseless liquid cooling system can both be achieved with the use of
Zalman’s noiseless power supply, noiseless case fan, Northbridge water block, and heat pipe
hard disk cooler.
TNN 300 TNN 500AF
Home Theater PC Enclosures
The HD160 is designed for ultra quiet home theatre
PC operation. It utilizes optimized ventilation and
anti-vibration reinforcements, making it ideal for
environments that require silence such as living
rooms, bedrooms, educational facilities, and offices.
