As mentioned in previous reviews tempered glass side panels are not exactly ideal when it comes to PC cases dressed on the interior with noise-dampening mats since noise tends to leak out from them. Luckily this time over the Silent Base 601 W...

Be quiet!'s case is well-built, a pleasure to build in, and they don't cool very well. GPU cooling is serviceable here thanks to the arrangement of fans, but good CPU cooling with a traditional air cooler would require some reconfiguration or an additiona...

Very quiet at idle / daily desktop use, Great dust filtration, Build quality, Easily accommodates large system components,
Poor thermal performance under load, Higher-than-expected acoustics under load, No USB Type-C
Although the Silent Base 601 is not a perfect chassis, solid design, great features and quality craftsmanship make this case a definite candidate for your short list, if you're okay with the absence of tempered glass (in the base model) and RGB lighting...

The Silent Base 601 is a superb enclosure, combining quiet performance, very high build quality, and excellent ease of use. Those looking for RGB effects or tempered glass need look elsewhere, as this made to be a quiet case, and not a display piece.The f...

be quiet! released a really good-looking chassis with the Silent Base 601. It's not too big (there'll be also a new Silent Base 801, with a release date in Q4'18), but this should fit even the most demanding hardware. It's made mainly of metal, so it will...

Solid design – It shows you don't need RGB to look good, Great build construction overall, Sound dampening materials actually do work, Plenty of internal space and compatibility with E-ATX motherboards, Supports horizontally and vertically mounted GPUs (r
Would be better with more than 1 fan installed into the front as standard – Other brands include 3+ fans RGB fans with a cheaper price tag
The be quiet! Silent Base 601 sits at £105 currently at Amazon UK and $139 at Amazon US. This is a fair price for a midi tower case of this calibre, but let me explain why!What's hot:Solid design – It shows you don't need RGB to look goodGreat build const...

Solid build quality, Side panels lift off vertically, Full length dust filters on the front and bottom, Low noise levels during regular operation
UK price is quite steep, Fan controller can only manage three fans, HDD blanking covers are not included, I/O panel does not have USB Type C
The be quiet! Silent Base 601 is a decent contender in the world of ATX cases, however it is tricky to point to a feature that is new or innovative. Indeed, for many potential customers the main attraction will be the absence of RGB lighting and they will...

What's not to love about the Silent Base 601!? If you're looking for a silence and cooling focused chassis, there aren't many new options on the market at the moment. Tempered glass and RGB may be all the rage, but if you want something classy, the 601 is...

The airflow limitations of the Be Quiet! Silent Base 601 are obvious from the thermal performance, and this also means that it isn't a great all-rounder and thus will never be the go-to mid-tower in this fairly premium price bracket. That said, there are...
