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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
I am completely satisfied with this case which I chose on the basis of the promises made by the German brand BE QUIET (on its website and in the Youtube videos). After 2 weeks of use (2 hours per day on average), I can say that this case lives up to the promises made by BE QUIET. I now know which brand to choose for a spacious, robust (resistant to small everyday shocks) and QUIET case.
Very good build quality. The Be Quiet! Silent Base 601 keeps its promises: silence and discretion. I use it for my server which is always running, and I must say that it's nice not to hear the hard drives spinning anymore! Speaking of hard drives, the 8 x 3.5 bays are very welcome for my use (remember to buy the media if you want to populate them).
A lot of space is present in the case, which allows the placement of a large graphics card for video game enthusiasts, and possibly experiment with custom watercooling (prefer the tempered glass version ;) ).
There is plenty of room for cable management, so perfectionists will be happy.
The only drawback is the ease of assembly compared to the instructions: not being used to Be Quiet! cases, I did not immediately understand how it opened, and I did not find any instructions concerning this in the manual.
In short, for its price, this box is excellent!
Old comment from 2018 when I bought it: "good box, practical, well thought out, easy to fit.
Mitigates some of the noise from my old Corsair Graphit case.
I'm looking forward to the extra DD racks. At the moment 3 HDDs and 2 SSDs max.
Thank you for the super fast delivery "
I have never been able to order these extra HDD racks from ldlc. I have to say that I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. A bit disappointed.
Overall, it's well made, even if it's a lot of plastic.
The front panel does not allow for a CD/DVD player
A few more cradles for the discs would have been welcome.
The silence is as promised.
This case is very well finished, it exudes quality but...
Unfortunately it comes with only one 3.5" hard disk rack although there are other slots. I find this unacceptable for this type of equipment and this price.
The manual is not very complete and does not specify all the subtleties of this case and in particular the access to the front filter.
I immediately decided to return it to LDLC...
LDLC services are top notch as usual with good advice...
The internal ergonomics are not very good, everything is done with thumb screws, the 5" disk slots are (very) badly positioned ... only 1 HDD cradle is provided .... Next time, I'll be more careful... I don't recommend the product.
If like me you are looking for a quiet and sober case, this is the one you need!
The filters are easy to remove, the push buttons for the side panels well thought out !
I recommend it !!!
Contrary to what is announced in the videos, this case is not the best designed with watercooling.
Once installed, the watercooling system will cover a part of the card and shave the Ram memory slots.
This means that it is impossible to mount a Corsair Hydro Series H115i PRO with Corsair Dominator Platinum for example. The grid where the watercooling is fixed is 5mm too low. Of course if you want to put your watercooling in the right place.
The case and its soundproofing systems are badly finished. For example on the power supply frame there is a 1mm offset, which indicates a poor factory finish that should not be at this price.
When I received my case, the inner covers of the racks were missing.
No solution for inserting a drive/burner either.
2 stars because I take my word for it being quiet. The panel system is nice but nothing revolutionary. It has a nice design.
But I'm thinking of making a return to swap because this too low grid that makes it mandatory to watercool over the CM flush with the RAM memory slots is a drain and limits us in our choice of component or ram system.
Good box, practical, well thought out, easy to assemble.
