I love this case
I love this case. Like the name says, it is very quiet. Some reviews online complained that it is not great for liquid cooling due to the rack in front to hold the drives. I don't use liquid cooling, so I don't care. It come with 2 be quiet! fans installed. I also using a large be quiet! CPU heatsink/fan. I was amazed how quiet they all were and the CPU temps were always great. Because I live in Arizona, summer is coming, and I keep the daytime temps warm in the house, I added some more fans to the case... just to be sure. Plus, I have a seriously overclocked and expensive chip. I added 4 more fans just to be sure. OK. 7 total fans in totally overkill and my CPU, even running at 100% and overclocked to 4.3 Ghz, never gets over 65 C. I still can't complain about the fan noise coming out of the case. I love it.I could easily have gotten by with just the 2 included fans and the large be quiet! CPU cooler and it would be almost a silent case with no temp issues at all.

Pricey, but does what it says. If you want quiet, it is worth paying for it.
I got this case to replace my old one after I moved my machine into the living room. It works great and looks good as well, it is dead silent so I don't have to worry about it interfering with media I am streaming in the apartment. It literally is five feet behind my couch and it is dead silent during the quiet parts of movies. It was not a beginner case to assemble though, the instructions are very slim and will not help a first time builder figure out how to install parts and run cables.Plenty of room and access ports from front to back though, so cable management is quite easy and I have a nice view through the window of a well managed system. Fits my GTX 1070 full length card, and the CoolerMaster 212 heatsink without scraping and with no modifications or removal of interior mountings.

Pretty but Fractal wins
Look gorgeous but was defective. After completing the build, I realized that the power switch was defective. So I had to disassemble everything and buy a new case. I return this and got a fractal Define R6. The fractal case is hands-down easier to work with and more intelligently designed. If you are stuck in between the two, definitely go with fractal R6. please feel free to message me if you would like to learn more about the differences in between the two. Be Quiet also has an unbelievably terrible manual. It is flat-out unusable. Fractal has a much better manual.

Economically priced case with premium quality
Nicely built case with a handful of issues mostly related to installing top fans and front grill, removing the top cover is very difficult especially after having everything installed. I also had issues with sinking power and reset buttons so I had to glue them back, no pwm fans Last but not least the PSU retainer edge is tight and will leave some stuffs and scratches if you are not careful. Overall it's an affordable ok case.
F**O
more than meets the eye!
compact but can handle more than it appears too. Just remember it can handle a cooling system on the top but you have to take it apart to the frame . It's snug but it's awesome once it's done. fans everywhere and still super quiet

Awesome Case, but Not Liquid Cooling Friendly.
Awesome Case. I love the design. Feels solid. Quiet.My only complaint is that there isn't enough places in the back to tie down cables.This case isn't designed to really hold a 240mm liquid cooling radiator, but I was able to force one into the top. Take that into consideration before purchasing.

Silent case, good design, ssd ready.
Not as silent as all the youtube videos I looked up about it claims to be (dead silence), but its still pretty good.The design looks cool its spacious enough to allow you to organize the wiring the way you like and its has a built in ssd comparment on the other side that easy to install.

Great case, but don’t buy refurbished
Bought this refurbished a few months ago. Firat one came without some of the screws and HDD sleves. Returned. Second one had everything....at least this is what I thought until just now. I was replacing parts and noticed the front fan was missing! Seriously wow. Lesson learned. Dont buy refurbished items or be cery, very careful! Now I have to spend $20 on an a fan....Otherwise very nice case!!

This is one VERY quiet case (but you do have to be good with your hands).
The case, straight out of the box looks good and well thought out with ALL the necessary screws you will need to complete your build. Add to that the cable management the case gives you and you are in PC anal heaven (no cables to be seen anywhere). My build consisted of Gigabite aorus elite mobo. MSI rx570 graphics card, amd ryzen 5 2600 cpu with cooler and an Evga 600 w PSU. The problems started when I tried to fit the mobo into the case, it wouldn't lie flat and the screw holes were no where to be seen as the mobo was stting up about 10mm at the back. The problem was the case has 6 or 7, 40mm slots and the mobo has three 120mm flanges to fit in these slots (never going to happen). My solution, my trusty dremel, a thin cutting disc and a flat swiss file. Hey presto, job done and I am so happy with my new rig..... Shame about windows 10 though. Ahh well, you can't have everthing!!!

Very good, but with room for improvement
Over all I'm very happy with this case. Its solidly built and allows for lots of build options. The only real criticism I have is the lack of helpfully positioned tie offs for cable management. Given the attention that's gone into other aspects of cable management, this seems a silly omission.EDIT: Have lived with this case for over a year now, and for the most part it's been OK. However in that time I've also learned more about case design and I have to say that it's very restricted in terms of air flow through the front, as an inspection of the front panel will quickly reveal. Now I know this is done deliberately to deaden sound, BUT the problem is that if air can't move then front fans have to work harder, which increases noise. So the theory only works if you're not generating that much heat to ramp up the PWM and spin up the fans. If you use the case fan controller of course, without monitoring you could be pleased with how quiet it is while slowly cooking your CPU to a possibly shorter life span. I'm going to mod the front panel so the fans can draw air directly in, rather than through the silly side vents (which are also obstructed by the mesh mounting) - the idea is to drill a hundred or so small holes to allow the fans to work less hard when the PWM spins them up. Hopefully I'll do a neat enough job, but I suspect anyone who's watched Gamers Nexus would be reaching for their drill, same as me ;)

Complete Package
I was always a case skeptic. If everything fitted and I could wedge the cables under something, I was happy. Boy was I wrong. This purchase was necessitated by a lack of research on my part, casually skipping past the length information of my new graphics card. Noob mistake. However, I have never been more happy to make a noob mistake. This case is the following :-1. Beautifully made for the price.2. Beautiful looking without looking like it's auditioning for Star Trek.3. Beautifully quiet.4. Beautifully easy to build into.5. Beautifully merciful on the wallet.My only gripe? The thing is so quiet I can hear my hybrid drive in there like it's spinning rocks in a washing machine. Now I'm dropping £400 on an M.2. Well worth a purchase over a lot of more expensive cases, save perhaps NZXT, who are doing an eye-blisteringly beautiful range at the moment.Anyway, buy it if you're money is tight and you want to be happy!

Generally a very good and quiet case
Great case which really is MUCH quieter than my previous build, and was good to work with for a full home PC build.Unlike some previous cases this one has the power/rest buttons flat on the top of the case making it far less likely that you'd accidentally catch it with a stray foot/chair/cat etc which I quite like.The top-front corner has 4 USB ports and 3.5mm and Mic jacks - It's a great idea to change them from the more standard front ports position of jutting out horizontally from the front of the box, however these are positioned at a 45-degree angle and while this is great for the 2 jacks personally I'd much prefer the USB ports to be pointing up from the top of the case as I found that I often caught them going past the box, or when reaching for the power button - might just be me though.

Would recommend to anyone looking to go that extra way to silence an already quiet system.
Does what it says on the tin and reduces noise a nice bit. It won't silence a noisy PC but it will make it less noticeable, and if it is a quiet PC then it will assist in finding the dream like silence we all crave.Looks neat and tidy when all setup, but it did take longer than usual due to the surprising lack of cable tier points behind the mother board.Rather large case too so if you have any large fanned CPU coolers like myself, worry not!Would get 5 stars if the cable management was a bit better, but aside from that it's a great case and I can see myself using it through a few builds.
