Shhh!

by TonyH star star star star star

Bought this to accommodate an E-ATX mobo and it is big. Yes, I checked the specs and checked that there was space on my desk for it but... it's big. My previous case was the Pure Base 500 FX and that is dinky in comparison. It's called a BeQuiet for a reason and that works out well. The only noise I get is from my AIO fans and those will be changed eventually. Burn in tests for GPU and CPU went well, proving that the airflow is good. It comes with all of the fans connected to its own controller, which is useful but I've never liked the included RGB programmes which tend to have the LEDs running at a brash, full, brightness so either plug it into your mobo or buy an Arduino and sort it out yourself.
