be quiet! Silent Base 801 Window orange (BGW28)

High-quality components — the corresponding case

Usually, the case is included in the list of things that are bought last and on which they do not hesitate to save. If such a policy is justified for office computers and undemanding home computers, then when assembling a powerful gaming or work computer, savings can go sideways. There may simply not be enough space for powerful components, they can stick out right next to each other, complicating ventilation, and all this stuff will buzz and buzz, like at a factory in the morning. If you don’t want to get into trouble, pay attention to the line of well-proven Silent Base 801 cases from the German manufacturer Be quiet.

Stylish, thoughtfully designed case

This case looks stylish, has a well-thought-out layout, is equipped with three internal coolers and is as friendly as possible during assembly. His coolness is shown in numerous trifles. The modular motherboard tray allows you to choose between several installation options, additional coolers can be installed instead of a removable cover, the walls are glued with sound-absorbing material, compartments for hidden wires are scattered along the case, and there are separate buttons for removing dust filters and side panels.

Goal number one: protect the user from noise

In general, due to the large amount of free space inside the case, you can install virtually any combination of hardware and cooling systems, and the abundance of seats for drives will help organize a capacious storage for video sources. However, the main task of the Silent Base 801 is to protect the user from the noise and hum that will produce all this goodness. And he does it perfectly. But you will have to pay for this with far from perfect temperature conditions. Despite the three case turntables, there are not enough holes for ventilation, so the heating performance here is slightly higher than that of competitors in the face of Fractal Design, which we had on tests. But the difference is small, it is not worth considering it critically.
