be quiet makes an excellent case. I have the dark base 700 since 2017 and it's still sturdy. Very well made and durable. I only had a few minor problems since then.
Great review, thank you for taking the time of invert the MoBo even with the front panel cables for us, Im ordering this case, thank you for the review.
Hello, thank you very much for the detailed review. I bought the same case some days ago. What advantages do you see inverting the case? Did you experience meanwhile some cons inverting the case? Thank you
@@zaplakailol I am not sure what exactly ( decibel ) is claimed, but it is silent enough for me. I can hear the fans if I concentrate on it but I also configured the case for maximum airflow ( there are more covers if you want less airflow for less "noise" but I did not try that because I prefer to cool my hardware as much as possible )
Great that you showed an inverted build. My only concern with the inverted mode is that the rear exhaust fan is now at the bottom, and thus becomes a cold air exhaust which is not optimal. I don't know how you could get around this.
This is interesting regarding the tube placement. It seems we kinda had the same idea regarding bottom tube front mount with tubes running through the hole for the hdd slots. Is this something viable to do with a 420mm? I mean, will the tubes be long enough to reach the CPU? It seems that it is certainly possible in inverted mode, but what about regular?
i bought the solid panel version and its disapointing as it doesnt come with hd covers so when i do buy a spare glass panel ill have holes, very disappointed in be quiet for not covering hd holes with covers like they have on the glass option. I couldnt even find white ones for sale anywhere, But i i contacted be quiet and amazingly they sent me 5 pieces for 11 pounds. fantastic customer service and wasnt expecting them to make that offer. I wanted to share this outcome as its rare in my experience a company does things like this so full marks to be quiet. I now have my solid white panel case with the white inserts and am very very happy with the build quality. Itll be nearly another year till i put all the pieces together but i have my first part, the 802. Next is the 360 while corsair rad cooler, then 2tb wd m2 mvme, then a 850 white power suply. after that amd and intel should have their later offerings of 2022 out otherwise itll be a gigabyte master 570 with a 5900x and my old 1070 amp extreme will do till the 4080 comes out withouth scalpers.
Be Quiet! have always been good at customer service. I bought a Silent Base 800 back in 2014 and reversed the drive bay door. Unfortunately I put the screws in the wrong holes and went through the front door. They sent me a new door for just the postage cost. Because of that for subsequent builds, I've always bought BQ cases.
Hello i have a question, im unsure if you covered this in the video, I havent watched through it all. How many and of what size fans fit in the bottoms of the case? Edit: I just saw the manual in the video
You first explained at the beginning of your review, how important it is to read your manuals, well have you counted how many times you have done things during this video that shows you clearly did not read the manual 🤪🤪🤪
This is exactly the way a review should be done. Clean, extensive, clear and relaxed. You have a new sub.
Thank you!. Hopefully I didn’t put you to sleep!
@@overclockersclub lol no. I came for information, not to be entertained, and this video delivered. (Not that it wasn't entertaining!)

Thanks. It was a lot of work but I think it was worth it. Glad you enjoyed it and I know you won’t be disappointed.

I have the white version, and am very happy with it. I connected the fans to the motherboard instead of using the case-fan-control.
I plan to buy such a case, is it really as quiet as the manufacturer claims?

Very compact and good review thanks

This is the most comprehensive computer case review on the internet.
Showed exactly what I was wondering about! Thanks!!
Great in depth review. Waiting for mine to arrive.
this one of the best versitile case i have seen ...great video ...
Boy, was this helpful. Thanks!
Nice setup ! I'm waiting for mine with 11700KF :)
Hello. Would you recommend be quiet! Silent Base 802 or MSI Sekira 500P, as regards HDD case capacity, future upgrades and air flow especially?

Is this something viable to do with a 420mm? I mean, will the tubes be long enough to reach the CPU? It seems that it is certainly possible in inverted mode, but what about regular?
Do you think adding a 140mm fan to the front two fans for a total of three 140mm fans would help with cooling?
Disappointed that you cut the part of pulling that tank out of the box, it was a struggle. lol
If you are using liquid cooling put the mesh front and top panels on! The top gets hot if you don't!

What kind of support is there for large GPUs like 4080? How to prevent GPU sag in this case?
Hello i have a question, im unsure if you covered this in the video, I havent watched through it all.

Edit: I just saw the manual in the video
Hi just subbed bro keep it up
can this case have 3x140mm fans in front and the top? or is it another that only fits 3x120m and 2x140mm??
yes it can have 3x 140mm fan on top.
Nice video:) Is that Led Zeppelin I hear in the background? Great band
Before making such a video I would read the manual ;)
So hard to find long in depth reviews like this today. Just a bunch of clowns looping useless b-roll 90% of the time.
Is there no front Mesh Version of this case???
A mesh front comes included with the case, you can swap them out. Atleast thats for europe, dont know if its the same in the US.
32:40 he shows the mesh panels it comes with.
I can't get one to buy
47:33 Too much 35 dB!!!
i like a bit of jimmy hendrix too. :-)
Корпус топовый, купил в белом варианте

Leading by example! Sort of. Maybe not... 😊
