Review on πŸ”‡ Cooler Master Silencio S600 ATX Mid-Tower: Enhanced Sound-Dampening, Reversible Front Panel, SD Card Reader, and 2x 120mm PWM Silencio FP Fans by Troy Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

solid but with pointless flaws

Despite its solid construction, this case has a few quirky design options that detract from its usefulness. Installing SSD drives is a nightmare as they have to be installed before anything else and are difficult to replace and the location of the HDD cage makes adding drives so inconvenient that you will probably only use one bay. PSU placement is also inconvenient, cables are limited by the drive bay and are very difficult to add or replace with modular PSUs. Keep in mind that claims that the front door can be opened from the other side are overly optimistic, and without destroying the case I don't know how this is achieved. There were a number of other minor issues with the case and the manual, and despite the overall decent materials and solid feel of the overall construction, there's no way I'd recommend this case over any other modern case, especially since it's not as quiet as it should be be. be due to an extremely incompetent foam design.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Useless features
