NOISE DAMPENING VENTS
Minimize noise and maximize airstream
The air inlets on the front cater for maximum silence with a constant amount of air permeability. The specially designed vents reroute the inflowing air twice to reduce airborne noise.
SUPERB NOISE DAMPENING
Extra thick insulation for maximum stability and silence
The front, top and sides are equipped with extra thick dampening mats of 10mm, resulting in maximum stability and superb noise dampening capabilities. The decoupled PSU bracket and HDD cages also minimize vibrations. The full metal body provides stability for the case and improves its haptic.
PRE-INSTALLED PURE WINGS 2
Whisper-quiet operation
Two pre-installed Pure Wings 2 140mm fans with airflow-optimized fan blades ensure a perfect airflow and solid cooling. The integrated 3-step fan controller caters for up to three fans.
FUNCTIONAL PSU SHROUD
Offering a neat interior
The PSU shroud perfectly covers the cables, PSU and contains a double HDD cage. The cover plates are separately detachable to install a 140mm fan on the top. With the small cover detached a 360mm radiator can be installed at the front. Using the PSU bracket the power supply unit can be easily installed from behind.
CONVENIENT TO HANDLE
Easy access for all kinds of modifications
The high-end side panels provide a mounting system with push-pins for secure and user-friendly detachment. By depressing the push-pins the locking mechanism releases the upper part of the side panel and this hovers safely until removed manually. Excellent usability for fast and easy access to the interior of the case.
GENEROUS SPACE, SMART DESIGN
Designed for all kinds of high-end hardware
Despite its compact design the Silent Base 601 Window provides generous dimensions and cutouts even for installing an E-ATX motherboard. The smart arrangement of components also allows multiple graphics cards and large coolers to fit in well.
EASY INSTALLATION OF RADIATORS
Optimized for water-cooled systems
With its optimized design Silent Base 601 Window is the perfect case for water cooling. Radiators of up to 360mm can be installed at the front, top and rear. Using the detachable bracket radiators can be installed very quickly and easily at the top.
GLASS WINDOW
A perfect view inside your PC
The elegant, windowed side panel offers a perfect view of the components inside your PC case. The window is made of tinted and tempered glass with black painted side bars.
Pros: I bought this case because I needed a flexible case that supports water cooling, long radiators (2x360mm), relatively quiet, and looked nice. The 601 meets all of those criteria and more. The push button side panels are amazing and so under rated. The glass is great; slightly tinted and has black surround to hide the trim pieces. The sound deading material is beefy AF and most definitely works. Even though there is a side panel, this case would benefit from little to no RGB. I have this case on my L Shaped desk that has my Workstation (this case) and my gaming machine as well (h200). This is a very handsome case that offers grown up looks that pass the Wife Approval Rating, is quiet AF, and offers decent cooling performance. 1. Support for 2 360mm Radiators. 2. Sound deading material everywhere. 3. The quality of the case is bar none. Comparable to the high end Phanteks cases, you have to feel the case to fully understand. 4. Tempered Glass includes all HDD covers! 5. Upper rad bracket is removable which makes installation a breeze for the top rad.
Cons: Not sure why Be Quiet did this but towards the front of the case on the top, there is a strip of sound deading material that blocks air flow(exhaust) towards the front of the case; Why?! Since there's only support for a 360 rad in the front vs 420, then why not offset the motherboard panel for all the plugs along the right of the mobo, similar to fractal meshify c. No Pcie riser cable or bracket, why even include vert GPU cut outs then?
Overall Review: This isn't really meant as a gamers case. I look at this case for the content creator or workstation user that has a sense of style. If you want RGB and flash go elsewhere, (Corsair, Thermaltake, or even Phanteks), but if you're on the older side of the community and need a nice looking, quiet, well built case, look no further. This is it.
