THE SILENT BASE 802 EXTERIOR

In terms of size the Silent Base 802 weighs 12.59kg and measures 553mm in height, 539mm in length and 281mm in width.

Both side panels of the black version are made out of thick SECC steel.

As expected, the fascia is made out of ABS plastic and is perforated on the sides.

You can remove the fascia just by sliding it upwards (also notice the thick insulation on the interior).

By removing the fascia, you get access to the removable air-filter and the two 140mm PureWings 2 PWM fans.

Here we see the maximum airflow fascia which is basically an aluminum mesh.

The I/O is located at the top and has two USB 3.0 ports, microphone and headphone ports, on/off power button/LED, reset button, HDD activity LED, USB 3.1 Type-C port and a 4-speed fan controller.

The top features two plastic covers which can be removed and replaced with the maximum airflow one.

Turning the case around we find the push-pin buttons (side panel release), PureWings 2 140mm PWM exhaust fan, 9 PCI expansion slots (2 are vertical) and the same fixed PSU area at the base.

A long removable air-filter is located at the base of the tower (even though for space saving you may opt not to install the two legs they will improve airflow, at least for the PSU).
