INTRODUCTION

   With just a few exceptions spacious mid-towers are not really a "thing" currently so consumers looking for just that in order to mount all the latest hardware components only have full towers to truly rely upon. Space restrictions however are the main reason behind the why full towers (and super towers alike) are nowhere near as popular as mid-towers and so a middle ground is something many people are looking for. And then there's always the issue of excessive noise and/or reduced airflow levels something which most cases out there never seem to get right. This is exactly what be quiet! aims to deliver with their brand new Silent Base 802 series and today with me i have the black variant.

   be quiet! is a premium brand of power supplies, PC cases and cooling solutions for desktop PCs. The products of be quiet! offer legendary quiet operation and first-class performance thanks the passion for quality and precision. Attention to detail is the key to perfection. Which is why our very own experts lead product conception, design and quality control from our headquarters in Germany. be quiet! sticks to its name: More than 15 years’ experience in the field of noise reduction and silence make be quiet! products probably the most silent ones on the market.

    The Silent Base 802 series currently includes two different models (either with SECC steel side panels or with a SECC steel right panel and a tempered glass left panel) which are available both in black and white colors. Both models feature front and top interchangeable covers (for either silent operation or maximum airflow), inverted motherboard tray layout (you can practically invert the interior to face right inside of left), extra thick insulation mats (front, top, bottom, left and right - only right for the TG version), quick release side panels (push-pin), integrated 4-step fan controller with hub, removable air-filters (front/bottom), top USB 3.1 type-c connector, three pre-installed PureWings 2 rifle-bearing 140mm PWM fans (1000RPM), dual chamber design and a detachable top radiator/fan bracket. And what about interior space? Well the new Silent Base 802 can accommodate E-ATX sized motherboards, seven 3.5" and/or fifteen 2.5" drives (two 3.5/2.5" cages and two 2.5" trays included), eight 120/140mm fans and/or two 240/280/360/420mm radiators, 185mm tall CPU coolers, 288mm long power supply units and 432mm long graphics cards (287 with HDD cages). So, as you can all see the Silent Base 802 is not that smaller compared to the Dark Base Pro 900 Rev.2 and so it should more than just cover people who are not interested in an XL-ATX sized case.
