    Very satisfied, buy with your eyes closed.

    The case is just the right size for installing quite a few components.
    All sides are easily accessible. The panels are easy to remove.
    The two very quiet fans make for a comfortable working environment.
    The separation between the motherboard and the power supply is a plus.
    I highly recommend it.

    BeQuiet! Pure base 601

    Quality case, with quality components.
    The box is very pleasant to handle and easy to assemble.
    It's completely large and, above all, quiet. The side panels have acoustic foam, which is a plus when you want a quiet PC. The fans included are of good quality (one at the back and one at the front measuring 140mm), and controlled at the front of the PC with a choice of 3 speeds!
    Many dust filters are included which is a plus!
    BeQuiet quality!

    Space and SILENCE

    My old box was low cost, I was doing my first configuration I needed something cheap ... however after 4 years I told myself it was time to change this box and I fell on this one which at first seemed much too large, but when I put my pc back in it I realized how comfortable it was to have room to store cables put the ssd at the back well store a pleasure really. It's really quiet, of course, depending on the fans you choose, and the built-in filters really do a great job of cleaning!
    TLDR: Very happy!

    Sober, attractive and discreet

    Despite its slightly imposing size for a mid-range tower, its purely rectangular shape and sober, unobtrusive aesthetic will blend seamlessly into your office. Well thought-out for cables and front and rear fans.

    large and spacious housing

    Very good housing. Integrated cable management. Size allows for large graphics cards and lots of storage bays.
    Very happy but a bit big for nas use.
