Let us know in the comments section when you get to the end of the review, but first let's take a look at performance.Installation of motherboards with backplateĭimensions side panel window (L x W), (mm)ġ x be quiet! Pure Wings 2 | 120mm 1,200rpmįront: 140 x 140 x 25, Rear: 120 x 120 x 25 Truth be told, we rarely look into our own systems here at HEXUS HQ, and we'd much rather be quiet! implement a quick-release mechanism as opposed to a superfluous window, but we'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter. Such a feature would be at odds with the sound-dampened nature of the case, but we feel as though be quiet! may have to offer a windowed panel as an option if it's to reach its sales target. So much so that it brings up what could be a deal-breaker for some: there's no side window. This is however an easy chassis to work with and the end result is a good-looking build. Nitpicking somewhat, we aren't convinced by the long rectangular flaps that be quiet! has used on its rubber grommets - the triangular flaps used by most competitors tend to do a better job of covering up gaps - and we'd liked to have seen a few more cable tie-down points. Both of these are removable via a thumbscrew to help simplify SSD installation. With this in mind, be quiet! has a further duo of 2.5in drive trays attached to the rear of the motherboard. We appreciate the level of flexibility, though there is a possible caveat: users building into the Silent Base 800 are going to want to keep things quiet, meaning hard disks probably aren't the way forward. Doing so will prevent the installation of any 5.25in drives, but if you don't plan on using any, it's a good way to house hard disks while freeing up space in the interior. Going a step further, there's room on top of each cage to mount a 2.5in drive, and if you really want to mix things up, the upper three-drive cage can be removed and relocated to the optical bays. There's a bagful of these mounts included and they too are a lovely orange colour. The cages themselves feel sturdy and well-put-together, but what really sets the Silent Base 800 apart from most other chassis is that instead of using flimsy plastic trays, be quiet! includes rubber drive mounts that are designed to hold drives while absorbing as much vibration as possible. In addition to the three optical bays (all of which are tool-free, by the way), there are seven hard-disk bays split across two modular cages (4+3). Elsewhere, there's a lot to like, starting with a flexible storage arrangement. ![]()
