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: - Panels are easily removable. A simple push pin, and they are loose.
- Nice, thick sound reducing padding.
- Full length lower dust filter, accessible from the front.
- Removable tray for top fans
- Plenty of room in the PSU shroud for excess cabling.
- Option for a vertical mounted GPU
- Option for adding 5 more HDDs, with 1 bracket included in the case.
Cons: - Sound paneling on large rear panel can make closing the case tougher with the PSU wiring.
- Lower dust filter somewhat pliable, making for replacing the filter in it's channel somewhat challenging
- Front panel can be tricky to remove and replace. Maybe it will get better with practice?
Overall Review: - Tempered glass panel has slight tint; I'd say the equivalent to a car side window.
- Top panel can be removed, but not very easily. I am guessing this may complicate regular dustings.
- I found that installing the HDDs upside down with 90 degree SATA connectors made for the better installation. Right side up proved a bit difficult with 90 degree connectors.
Final thoughts: If you are considering this case, go for it. I usually add cons to any purchase I make as there is no such thing as a perfect product. The cons are mostly minor, and shouldn't scare anyone away from buying this case. They are simply observations that I didn't like, and with the exception of regular maintenance, would be a non issue after the build is complete.
