A very aesthetic design, the monster weighs its weight which makes the machine very stable and protects all the components during transport. As usual, the design is top-notch, and the machine is very quiet, managing my 32 cores well.
Given the size of the case, I thought I could easily install a high-performance water cooling unit (360mm and 3 fans) to cool a Z790 / I9 14900K combo card. According to the manufacturer's documentation, this case allows this type of cooler to be installed either on the front or the top. This is both true and false! For front panel installation, you have to sacrifice the slot for the optical drive (CD/DVD/BR), which in my case was unthinkable. For top-mount installation (my choice) you have to place the radiator above the bracket and the fans below (the bracket is therefore located between the two), otherwise the whole thing covers part of the motherboard and prevents access to the power supply connectors and the fans and pump for the processor. "The icing on the cake is that I had to cut one of the brackets to allow the filler plug for the 'Silent Loop 2' cooler from the same manufacturer to pass through... Finally, to install the power supply (a Corsair HX1000i) I had to move the fan to the underside and buy an optional cover to get a 'drinkable' design. To conclude, I find that Be Quiet is not the champion when it comes to installation guides (video or PDF) for its products (not just for beginners) and could improve the manufacturing (beautiful products but not necessarily very functional).
Perfect finish, ideal modularity.
I was able to install my configuration with simplicity, remove all that was not used (dd bay).
The small dd ssd storage on the cm panel is well positioned.
I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.
Order received on time, the hardware is very versatile which allows for great adaptability. The removal of the hard drive mounts allows for great length for the placement of the larger graphics cards, The enclosure is very quiet.
It's expensive because it's from ldlc, but also because of what it offers. The case is full of little problems that you discover as you assemble it. I think they should invent some non-metallic fastening systems for the screws.
In short I should never have bought this mess and I let you discover its size and weight. After my 3rd configuration I'd say, get a medium size box at 100, 150€.
The good thing is that it's orange on the edges.
Spacious, well laid out and rather pretty, I am really satisfied with this case in which I did not have any trouble mounting my configuration. The only drawback is the power cable for the ATX power supply units: the layout means that the connection of the first to the second is done by twisting the cable, and this is not very intuitive, nor very secure in my opinion. Apart from that, the discreet and efficient fans allow a top cooling, there is enough space for very full configurations. In short, it's great!
Large case? Yes, but not only. Discreet by its sober, even minimalist aesthetic. Inside, everything has its rightful place. The cable management is very easy and comfortable. It has all the air its components need thanks to generous original ventilation. And the best thing about it is the silence. This case represents for me the BE QUIET perfection! I already had a mid-tower case that was starting to get cramped, so the choice of Be Quiet for its successor was an obvious one. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the service. I am very pleased with the quality of the service and the quality of the product.
Good case but beware, the chassis fans are audible even at rest and at minimum speed
Hello,
I received my baby and it took me a while to touch him.
First you look with your eyes.
Easy to assemble, [it is huge].
**A little regret.
I have a crazy baby in the bonnet. So silent box or not, it does make noise if you're running heavy duty games.
Let's say that in normal activity the PC doesn't make any noise, OK!
As my mum used to say, when you cook you make the kitchen dirty.
I personally removed all the hard drive cages and the rack for the optical drives. The result is a magnificent space to put two AIOs of 360 and 240 mm! And without any problem. What is missing? some covers for the cable passages maybe, RGB fans, a side window (which can be bought as an option from bequiet)? You can finesse but it's one of the best cases I've seen. All in absolute silence...
