The case be quiet! Silent Base 600 is offered in three colors: black, orange and silver, which differ only in color of inserts on the front panel. Additionally, each modification is supplied in two versions: with and without a window. This is a typical «middle tower» designed to set motherboards of ATX form-factor, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX.



Packaging and Equipment


be quiet! Silent Base 600 is supplied in a medium-sized box, which is slightly wider than the standard packaging of Mid Tower class models. It has a schematic picture of the case and the list of its specifications. The box is equipped with recesses at the ends which makes transportation process much easier. Its weight is a little more than 9.5 kg.

The case inside is wrapped in a white non-woven fabric bag, and then sandwiched between two foam retainers. The content of delivery is packed in a small corrugated cardboard box. All the necessary screws, slides to install hard drives, four plastic ties for cable management, as well as one plastic element for the same purpose, are packed in eight individual sachets.

The User's Guide is a booklet in five European languages. Three more versions: in Russian, Japanese and Taiwanese-Chinese can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

Appearance and Design

Externally, Silent Base 600 looks strict and unpretentious. The front panel has a plastic door that looks secure enough, thanks to sound-absorbing strip of special material. It hides three plugs for the 5.25" devices. A handle of a dust filter can be seen under them. At the very top there is an unobtrusive computer fan controller allowing to switch between the voltage of the fan 12, 7 and 5V.

The front panel is plastic, with full-length lateral ventilation slots covered with black metal mesh. The control unit is placed in the recess angled between the top and front faces of the case. It contains two USB ports of a 2.0 standard, headphones and microphone jacks, as well as two USB ports of a 3.0 standard. The power button combined with a LED indicator is placed on the upper side. A disk activity indicator system is placed under it. Emergency reset button is not provided.

In general, the control unit causes positive feelings. Everything is symmetrical; the power button is very large, with a short course and a pleasant feeling of clicking. The top panel is also made of ABS plastic. The rear panel has ventilation slots, and the front one – all the above-mentioned elements of the control unit.

The back panel looks standard for a case with a lower placement of the power supply. Seven expansion slots with metal covers are located above its seat.

Above the slots, the cutout for communication ports of the motherboard and the exhaust fan 140 mm are supplied, and under the last – three rubber membranes for the liquid cooling system hoses. A ventilation grille closed with a particle filter holds most of the bottom panel.

Taking into account the material used, as well as large and high case feet, it can be said that the developers have tried to provide a sufficient distance from the surface for proper ventilation. The side walls are made of 0.7 mm steel. In the middle of each there is a decorative groove with the manufacturer’s logo.
