Hardware Be Quiet! Silent Base 600 Review

Looks ugly, sorry. But then so did its predecessor.

 

It doesn't look that bad. Not my cup of tea, but certainly not fugly, it is too big though - mATX is the largest form factor I'm interested in.

It's good to see someone addressing the problem that windows present in cases designed for quiet operation.

 

Spreadie, the NZXT H440 isn't bad noise wise for a windowed case. While the window is a negative on that front the damping material on the rest of the panel seems to make up for it. Mine has 6 120mm fans installed (4 stock and 2 Coolermaster on the H100i) and is fairly innocuous. It rarely gets too loud, even under max load.

I'd be interested if I wasn't looking at rack mounted options for the other systems, it's basic externally and looks solid without any of the bells and whistles others seem to find essential. That works for me.
