The editors didn't like
Airflow may be affected by the design in high end builds
Door hinges look fragile
Would love another Pure Wings Fan or two
No tool free installation possible
A little tight for large radiator/fan combos under top panel
A single 140mm intake fan instead of two (like the Silent Base 800)
No external hotswap 3.5” HDD bays
Only 20% Cheaper Compared To The Silent Base 800 Window
No tie-down points on the backside of the motherboard tray
Instead of using rails if they used trays on the hard drive cage it could support more SSDs
Top and front of the case are rather hard to take off
Difficult to connect SATA power to SSDs as there is very little space between the motherboard tray and SSD
Very restrictive air vent for cooling solutions in the ceiling
"bumps" as motherboard spacers
Rear fan mount is recessed about 10 mm deeper into
Poor cable management
Expensive compared to similar products from competition
The be quiet! Silent Base 600 is ONE quiet case that does better than average cooling. Nice. Further: with a double-glazed window and padded panels, this case will keep any noise you make inside, where it belongs. Maybe the case will be a hair louder if...
We have little complain about with the SilentBase 600. It looks good, has decent features and is exactly what is in the name, silent. We would like to see a fan controller embedded and perhaps them swanky-diddley feet the 800 offers, as with chassis, it...

The Be Quiet! Silent Base 600 case is a full-featured mid-tower enclosure that focuses on quiet, virtually silent operation, while at the same time delivering excellent cooling performance, usability and support for high-end hardware. The Silent Base 600...

As I reviewed this case, it made me think of the early days of case designs and quality. Case designs have come a long way over the years. When I first started working on computers nearly 30 years ago, a case was simply a metal box to hold all the compute...
Abstract: When building a silent system, we often prioritize the enclosure. But while a top-notch noise-dampening case is nice, it's only one part of the equation when building a quiet computer. You also need to choose the right components for internal cooling in o...
Where the Silent Base 800 was a great step into the chassis market for be quiet, the Silent Base 600 follows right along with it. It may be the little brother of the two, but still packs quite a punch, both visually and in its feature set. The brushed...

The Pure Base 600 is a solid chassis in most regards. It hasn't blown us away, but equally there aren't many places where we can truly fault it, and we can definitely see it appealing to those for whom low noise is a priority.The design of that central ro...

What case is best for you depends on the purpose you have for it. If you want a silent case, you might be willing to sacrifice some of the cooling performance. On the other hand you might tolerate a bit more noise when you are building a heavy system th...

The be quiet! Silent Base 600 is a case that combines good looks, quiet operation and strong cooling performance. It's definitely worth a look at for your next case purchase.Limited water cooling options may cause some people to look elsewhere when choosi...
the build quality is on a very good level be quiet! didn't make the mistake to go for thin side panels in order to save weight and production cost They used solid sheet metal which has been paired with rather thick noise insulation material This combina...
