Noise
Despite the plastic coverings on the side panels that have been known to help reduce noise, the noise level we measured was merely average at about 61dB. This was most likely due in large part to fairly noisy fans in both the power supply and at the front of the case. Fortunately, no rattles were detected anywhere in the case.Conclusion

With the Landmark KS-299, Superpower has provided a case with average construction, but a number of useful features that allow it to stand out from the competition. The design is clean and well executed for a very solid case that's extremely easy to get in and out of - all for a very reasonable $70.
Unfortunately, the biggest problem is keeping a hot system cool. AnandTech's testbed does use quite hot components, so most standard systems should be fine. However, the KS-299 is definitely not the best situation from maximal overclocking. Adding the optional tertiary case fan would most likely help the situation considerably.
