    Medium tower but massive

    Ordering this tower on delivery was the worst idea ever. 12kg to carry for 30 minutes definitely hurts your arms!

    On the other hand, I'm still very happy with the quality of the Be Quiet! cases, even though I already had their large tower model. Easy to open, easy to assemble, maybe just a little problem with the fan mounting grid at the top of the case, which can get in the way of the RAM bars depending on the size of the fans.

    But there's nothing insurmountable about it, and it's still as quiet as ever. On the other hand, on the two towers I've had, I've no idea how the speed selection pin on the case fans is connected... It's connected to the controller pin on the motherboard, but it's not essential.

    The sound of silence

    A deafening silence that won't disturb your ears.
    The case is easy to open. It's still an XL size, but that's the price you have to pay.

    Very satisfied, buy with your eyes closed.

    The case is just the right size for installing quite a few components.
    All sides are easily accessible. The panels are easy to remove.
    The two very quiet fans make for a comfortable working environment.
    The separation between the motherboard and the power supply is a plus.
    I highly recommend it.

    BeQuiet! Pure base 601

    Quality case, with quality components.
    The box is very pleasant to handle and easy to assemble.
    It's completely large and, above all, quiet. The side panels have acoustic foam, which is a plus when you want a quiet PC. The fans included are of good quality (one at the back and one at the front measuring 140mm), and controlled at the front of the PC with a choice of 3 speeds!
    Many dust filters are included which is a plus!
    BeQuiet quality!

    Space and SILENCE

    My old box was low cost, I was doing my first configuration I needed something cheap ... however after 4 years I told myself it was time to change this box and I fell on this one which at first seemed much too large, but when I put my pc back in it I realized how comfortable it was to have room to store cables put the ssd at the back well store a pleasure really. It's really quiet, of course, depending on the fans you choose, and the built-in filters really do a great job of cleaning!
    TLDR: Very happy!
