  • The be quiet! Silent Base 800 Case is one of the most unique cases I have had the pleasure to take apart and set up for a testing scenario. With the options of open or closed 3-in-1 air intakes on both side panels of the computer case and having the lower...

  • This is a case that combines excellent performance, good looks and quiet operation. It also has a lot of add-ons that really give it flexibility. That said, there are lapses as well. We expect that be quiet! will fix those small lapses, and bring out a ...

  • Abstract:  Bold and sassy pretty much sums up the Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 Case. There's lots of space to work, plenty of drive bays, water-cooling potential, looks awesome, great build quality and has acoustic dampening material....

  • High quality materials, Quiet operation, Modern and Elegant styling, Easy to install your build, Extraordinary quality grommets and rubber parts, Plastic Molded in color with black interior
  • 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
  • The case as tested ran at a very low 28 C and bumped up to a high of 49 C while I was running Fur mark burn in and also used 3D Mark 11 to over work the CPU and get things toasty inside. In both instances the case stayed reasonably quiet and reasonably co...

  • 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...

  • Cool, quiet and roomy, the Silent Base 800 offers just about everything we'd want in a midsized noisedampening enthusiast box.
  • 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.
  • 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...
