        MAGNIFICENT case

        Very good box, ordered to replace a CORSAIR 275W Airflow which had become too small for my configuration.

        This case can easily accommodate an RTX 4090 with a 360mm AIO and all with a 1600W power supply.

        I recommend it if you're looking for a case that's big on space!

        Very simple, practical case

        This box is very easy to use and has plenty of cable entry points. The final assembly is very clean and the sober design of the box is very pleasing.

        Spacious and quiet.

        Picked up today in the shop after my components had been transferred by the team at Chanteloup en Brie, the tower is huge, the fans are very large, so air flow won't be a problem.
        The dust filters are very accessible. You no longer need to unscrew the side panel to open it (a simple button detaches the panel from the tower).
        The fans are very quiet for their size. I recommend them for large configurations.

        Spacious but with room for improvement

        I chose this model for its xl size, the filters, the 3 non-rgb fans installed, and the modularity of certain elements such as the front panel (closed or airflow).
        I also like the quick removal of the side panels.
        I took the version with the window because there will be a bit of rgb on the watercooling, ram and cg.
        My disappointment comes from the price compared to the quality of the plastic top and side power covers. The nipples are made of hard plastic and don't inspire any confidence in me. The bottom side power cover is hard to remove, and I'm always afraid of breaking something.
        The covers popped off during transport and several parts were damaged. Ldlc did what was necessary, as always.

        Top

        Perfect body, plenty of room to put everything you want inside. The dust filters are great. It's a bit noisy, but that's not really a problem.

        Super box

        Great, well-ventilated case with its mesch front panel system.
        It's super large and practical for installing your components. It supports all sizes of graphics card without a hitch.
        I have an RTX 4080 and there's still room for improvement.
        super product.

        Fine

        Very good case, cools properly and allows any component to be fitted!
        On the other hand, it's not as quiet as I would have expected. But that doesn't really matter to me.

        Very good.

        Silent base 802 black nice case but could be improved

        I bought this box to replace an enthoo pro, and I'm generally happy with it, with a few minor drawbacks. I'm not a big fan of the side opening system (from the top rather than the classic side opening), and I'm missing a few millimetres for the management cable on the partition side, so I had trouble closing the box once everything was installed (I didn't make a sausage).
        The rack system for hdd is less simple than that of phantek.

        That's it, the good points now.
        The ability to choose between different partitions for the front panel and the top is very well done (even if at the moment, given the consumption of the equipment, I'm not sure that the all-enclosed version will hold up in terms of temperature).
        The dust filters on the front and bottom are easy to access.
        The space, it's a big tower box, there's plenty of room and even more, personally I've got the space but it's a big piece and it weighs a lot, but at least there's no need to contort yourself to install anything, it's very pleasant to work inside.
        I chose the windowed version because it was the only one available at the time of ordering, but I don't regret it, it's nice to see inside the PC even without rgb.
        There's less hardware supplied (screws and so on) than at phantek but it's enough.
        The big tower style isn't for everyone, it's a personal choice. With the gradual disappearance of multiple hdds, 5.5 racks and multiple GPUs, mid-tower cases have the space to hold the biggest CGs of the moment (check carefully though) at a lower cost.
        In short, I like my case but I wouldn't recommend it for a "general public" build, some people love shiny lights, but I like big cases^^.

        Great product

        The fan at the back is a bit noisier than the ones at the front but overall it's a very good case with plenty of room.

        Beautiful.

        It's bigger than I thought it would be, but that's really no problem.
        Beautiful tower, with a choice of solid or mesh panels for silence or ventilation. I took the lattice and even like that, it is very quiet.
        The interior is great, you just have to think before putting your compo, there is not always room to slide your hands afterwards.
        I note a very slight downside, the small cage for the 2.5" SSD on the back. My Sandisk didn't fit in it. It's a pity.

        Good reception, excellent product

        Although we had to wait a bit for the supplier, the product we received is in all respects as described, it is an excellent case, large, spacious, with a sober but efficient design and great qualities for the overall handling, the cable management and the installation of the elements.
        A support for the graphics cards could have been an interesting option.

        It's Be Quiet!

        A few years ago, I owned a silent base 600: A magnificent tower offering a great quality of manufacture, storage, space, but suffering from a big problem: Its lack of air flow! The front of the tower had very little space for air and the top was worse: just three air holes.

        So the silent base 802 is a revision of the model in bigger with the listening of the community. We find the same arguments: space, beautiful manufacture, but now we have modularity with the possibility of modifying a little the tower. Even better, we still have acoustic foam, rubber tips in some places to calm vibrations and noise, but this time: they gave the possibility to exchange the top and the front for something more air flow! Not to mention that with a simple screw to remove, you can install an AIO without knocking out the tower, and put it all back on with a simple screw: good thinking.

        At the moment I have a tower that is silent, well cooled and of good quality.

        In short, Be Quiet is deutsche qualitat!

        good reception

        Nothing to say, delivery on time. The box arrived with holes on the side and the delivery man took the time to open the box with me to check it. And it's clear.
        I'm not able to test the product yet as I'm waiting to find the rest of my compo for my future pc, but I'm impatient.
        Thanks ldlc

        Very good box!

        Nothing to complain about, either in terms of design or space. Very simple cable management. Very quiet on my side when driving.

        Very good tower

        To keep it simple, I'll break it down into advantages / disadvantagesAdvantages:- A lot of working space, useful for cable management, for handling big components (watercooling 360, power supply, disk bay that can slider)- Enough space to accommodate a full custom WC- Ultra simple opening, you remove two screws, press two buttons and hop the faades are removed- A lot of airflow, my components have never been so well cooled- Power button and hub on top, I have a vega 64 WC, the fan is the loudest I've ever heard, and a power supply (Corsair HX1000i) which is very loud when going up in watts, I almost can't hear them anymore- Lots of room for the graphics card and the power supply:- The extra grille for the front was badly bent at manufacture and had trouble fitting- Space to have a proper management cable when the computer is well supplied can be tight, I have 2 distribution boxes for the fans, a colour selection box for the cpu watercooling, and cable extensions for the power supply- The fans are already mounted at reception, I would have preferred to have them spaced out- The anti-vibration pads supplied for the fans are self-adhesive and very fragile, Two big flaws- There is the possibility to add more bays to put more SSDs/HDDs, I would have liked to have enough to have more choice for placement, or eventually fill them all, but you have to buy them separately, and impossible to find them for a good price- Installation of the watercooling is difficult because of the length of the cables, moreover, a little bit of watercooling can be a problem with the high slot provided, covering the top of the motherboard (CPU sockets)
