Silent Base 600 - the success chassis now in a more compact version
We review the Be Quiet! Silent Base 600 with side panel window. The new revision in this SilentBase series is a more compact version of the silent series chassis. The chassis has some cool features like a double-glazed polycarbonate window. A lovely chassis design that remains tool free, it offers decent space to work in and it has very quiet airflow plus is prepped for liquid cooling. Have a peek at the product we'll review today, the Silent Base 600 Window.
The good looking chassis will appeal to many, albeit a plastic front awaits you with some nice aesthetics. Depending on the color combination you choose, the chassis is made with a dark interior. There are three color options available - black and orange (our sample), black and silver, or all-black.
Being an ATX tower chassis, the liquid cooling aficionados aren't left alone as radiator brackets are present as well as space for the the smaller sized liquid cooling solutions. The case has a steel base with plastic face-plates and measures 495 x 230 x 493mm. You'll get a total of seven expansion slots and an up-to 290mm long power supply slot alongside three external 5.25-inch drive bay slots and seven internal 3.5-inch bays slots (two HDD cages). The Be Quiet! Silent Base 600 also features a front I/O panel with two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and two audio jacks (microphone/headphone). Motherboard wise the chassis can house ATX, Micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards.
Priced at €109 ~ 124 this chassis positions itself in a high-end range of PC housing. So yeah it a little pricey, but this chassis does come with sound dampening and good quality yet silent low RPM fans. The Silent Base 600 is certainly making a good impression.
But hey, let's start-up the review, shall we?
Today we’re putting the new be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W power supply on our test bench. The company is mainly known for its PSUs and Hilbert has recently reviewed the Dark Power 13 1000W. On the same day (24th January), the Pure Power 12M series was officially announced. We reviewed the predecessors, be quiet! Pure Power 11 (in 2018, it earned the “Recommended” award) and Pure Power 11 FM (in February 2022, also “Recommended), and we wonder what has changed in the meantime for the Pure Power 12M. The main difference is the full ATX 3.0 compatibility.
