be quiet! Pure Base 600 Silver, BG022, Mid-Tower ATX, 2 Pre-Installed Fans

This case is very well made. Quiet, like the name implies, I am impressed. Easy to navigate, this case offers PC builders the space and operability that they are looking for. The Be Quiet branded fans are in themselves high quality; You can hardly hear them!

This is a very well-made case with all edges finished without any burrs or rough edges. The fit of the side and front panels is perfect and snug, but easy to remove any, to work on the insides or to add additional fans or 5.25 optical drives. The expansion card slots are easily removable and use a true screw to remove or restore the slot to the chassis.When I needed support to select the proper fan addition that I wanted to use I found many variations of be quiet fans for sale on Amazon. A quick call to be quiet tech support was answered quickly and after I explained that I wanted to use the fan controller switch on the Front Panel, the agent immediately gave me the specific part number that I needed. Within a minute after my call to be quiet that specific part was ordered from Amazon.This is truly the kind of company you will want to buy from. Quality and responsiveness that is lacking from most of vendors today,

Pros: It's been 10 years since I bought a new case, and I was pleased with a few of its features.1. Of the 9 mounting holes for an ATX motherboard, the center one doesn't have a place for a screw, it has a stud instead. This means that you can shove the MB into place, drop it over the stud, and then the first screw is a lot easier to insert.2. The three-speed fans are pretty quiet even on the highest speed. The reason I had to ditch my old case is that the soundproofing foam has turned to mush. I don't think I'll have that problem with this case; the soundproofing is a firm material.3. There is a space on the right side of the case, and the SSD and hard drives are wired from that side. This puts a lot of the wiring out of the way of the MB, and the left side looks much more orderly. But see Cons...4. All screws are thumb screws with Phillips heads. You get your choice of finger tight or get out the screwdriver. Many of the screws are captive so that you don't lose them.Cons:1. The space on the right side is fairly shallow. The wires on my drive power cables are pretty stiff. When I forced the right cover on, I ended up breaking one of the power connectors. I ended up using zip ties to bend the wires in the shape needed to fit. Be careful!2. The screws supplied to mount the SSD are too high to fit where they need to. You probably have a few around that you can use instead.

I like this case. It suits an office environment and is relatively quiet. These are becoming popular in my office as more and more people ask me to custom build their desktop instead of ordering from a place like Dell. The case has all the functionally one needs to put together a workstation plus room for more. I think the fans/airflow as configured is pretty pointless but there are lots of options to change things around. I saved a few bucks by getting one "like new" from Amazon Warehouse and I regret doing that. It was definitely not like new, and caused a bit headache fixing bent tabs, cross threaded screw holes, and missing parts.
