  • 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...

  • The Silent Base 800 Window combines the characteristics of a silent computer chassis with the added bonus of the much sought after preview panel and yet still retains low-noise attributes thanks to a double-glazed design.There isn't much to differentiate...

  • It is surprising that be quiet! has taken eight months to deliver a windowed panel as a revision to the Silent Base 800, however the end results are very good. The case could do with a couple of tweaks to move it to the front of the field, and the price i...
