Review on housing be quiet! SILENT BASE 802 WINDOW BLACK black, no PSU, EATX by Stanislaw Pietka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

Excellent, solid body. Heavy, but stands on its legs securely and does not make noise. Dust filters can be easily removed. The bright white backlighting of the power button is a bit annoying. In the old case, the problem was easily solved by soldering the diode, but here it’s not so easy to get close to it. Coolers could put Silent Base in the kit. But it will do. Very spacious, well ventilated, for the summer you can put replaceable mesh panels - yes, it will be noisier, but still a plus for cooling.

Pros
  • Quiet, easy installation, the possibility of mirror assembly, thoughtful design, interchangeable panels, strict. Possibility of analog fan speed control. Excellent mechanism for removing panels with one button.
Cons
  • The inability to install a full-fledged "deaf" top panel (only a double one is included - one part with noise reduction, and the other with a grille. If there was a solid closed panel with noise reduction, it would be even better). Price. There is no way to change the color or brightness of the power button backlight. No backlight (would be built-in switchable - it would be nice). The plastic latches on the panels that close the PSU compartment are a little straining, causing a feeling of insecurity.
