Be Quiet! Silent Base 802

The be quiet! Silent Base 802 offers both a silence-optimized experience and a mesh front panel for when summer kicks in.

Now that we are past the cheeky part, the only thing that remains to be said is what really matters: The be quiet! Silent Base 802 is a potent chassis, with its signature be quiet! design and uniquely semi-modular approach not only making it a befitting be quiet! product, but also a clean and extremely useful long-term option.

I've always had a soft spot for the Silent Base chassis series from be quiet!, it's not any different this round. Anything you want to install will fit; the more enthusiast you get, to more you will need to compromise on airflow or use the optional top and front covers. This is not a negative at all; it's the compromise you need to make when preferring acoustics over airflow. I

Be quiet! has seen how mesh PC cases have a place in 2020 with the rise of Intel's 14nm CPUs and NVIDIA's power-hungry graphics cards. While it falls a little short for cable management, the sheer size of the case, and awkward case feet, the Silent Base 802 is a joy to build inside and performs extremely well.

As a final reminder, the system can also be assembled on an inverted motherboard tray for certain applications. Oh, Perhaps be quiet! could find a Germanic way to work in a wheels kit, deployable from the side skids? That would be neat. White can look very sharp, I think it’s suitable for an art project with all that available canvas too.

Overall, there’s nothing bad i could find and/or say about the Silent Base 802. Yes, i would like more drive cages bundled than just two but for the majority of consumers out there that would mean increasing cost without actually using them so that’s fine by me and so since it’s one of the largest, highest quality and feature-rich towers in the market currently.
