be quiet! Silent Base 601 Midi Tower Black BG026 Reviews

+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 GP
-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...

+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...

+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...

+Sleeker than Silent Base 600, Quick-release, sound-insulated panels, Solid build quality throughout, Integrated three-way fan hub, Two bundled PureWings 140 fans, Helps keep noise levels in check
-Lacks USB Type-C, HDD slot covers not included with all models

Out of all the cases that be quiet! has released thus far, the 2015 Silent Base 600 is arguably the one that didn't resonate with us here at HEXUS HQ. The bulbous exterior wasn't attractive, the plastic front door felt fragile, and the case as a whole lac...

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...

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...
