The editors didn't like
Slightly Expensive
Airflow may be affected by the design in high end builds
No window
Door hinges look fragile
Larger overall size
Price (For Some)
Overall Interior Space
Need more tie down locations behind MB tray
Plastic hinges for door
Side fan may hit large CPU coolers
Relatively high price
Internal ATX mid-tower frame
May need to use a Y-connector for fan connection to motherboard
Front skeleton obstructs the front 140 fans and could be a source of wind noise
Fingerprints easy
Not silent
But quiet
Thanks for reading
Somewhat bulky
Door hinges made of plastic
Feet need to be assembled
More hooks on the motherboard tray to route cables would have been nice
Quite tall for an ATX chassis
We wouldn't complain if the price came down $20 or so to put it in line with the competing CM Silencio 652S and Fractal Design R4.
For their first ever chassis, I feel that Be Quiet! has done a very nice job with the Silent Base 800. It's a well designed product with nice aesthetics and a good feature set. But most important is the factor mentioned in the naming, it is a very silent...

To ensure accurate thermal results, we installed the same hardware in each case in virtually the same way. Components included the Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional , Phenom II X6 1100T , Prolimatech Megahalems in passive mode (i.e. no fan actively dispe...

Quiet fans, Quiet operations, Internal silencing foam, Modular 3.5" Bays, Support for large aftermarket CPU coolers (170mm), Support for large, highend graphics cards (400mm), Toolless design
Price, High temps, No 240mm radiator support in front
Let us recap my reasoning and scoring method before diving into my final words. First I look at what the company is saying it offers. For example, say the company states the case supports large / long graphics cards or ten quiet fans. In this example, I e...

While we could sit here and say that this chassis looks similar to this case, but also looks like that case, the reality is that be quiet! has come out swinging with a chassis that is very unique. It has had the opportunity to sort of sit in the backgrou...
Virtually silent operation (apart from our RX 480 STRIX graphics card), Very good design with nice styling; the orange trim is a nice touch, 3 x be quiet! Pure Wings 2 fans included (2 x 140mm & 1 x 120mm), Addition of a Window means you can show off you
A little on the pricey side, but does come with good quality fans pre-installed, Could have a little more cable management options, although the rubber grommets are great
I think it's fair to say that be quiet! have improved an already good looking case with their new double glazed polycarbonate windowed side panel. With multiple colour options available including black/silver, black and the one I have reviewed today, blac...

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...

There's a word that comes to mind when I think about the be quiet Silent Base 800 and that's ‘All-Rounder' because although the Silent Base 800 may not break any new ground, everything that is does do, it does well! The be quiet! Silent Base 800 arrived...
Be quiet!'s first step onto the computer case market, the Silent Base 800, can be considered successful. While its somewhat unusual design will not appeal to everyone, it most definitely ensures that the enclosure stands out. The amount of room on the i...
