Quiet, feature-rich yet expensive: Silver Award
The UK tech blog pcGameware has reviewed the be quiet! Silent Base 600, the smaller version of the Silent Base 800. Again the reviewer is impressed with the build quality, silent features and offered feature set. The price is a negative factor for the reviewer, but he admits this case honestly deserves a Silver Award. “There’s no doubt that the be quiet! Silent Base 600 is a good case, it’s good looking, well made and does a good job of keeping your components cool. But with only one intake fan (come on be quiet!, that’s a bit
stingy!) and a price of approximately £90, it still feels a little too expensive for my liking.” to the article » |
