Hello,

I'm wondering which case to pick, at first I was thinking of NZXT Noctis 450 red/black but the prices suddenly changed into 130~ euro. That's out of my budget. ( And they're all out of stock )

So I was looking into 100-110 euro. I wanted something good looking but yet effective in terms of cooling and noise.

And then I saw the Be quiet, the 800 looked really nice, I really liked the one with the window, but the price discouraged me. I also saw the 600 which also looks good and the price is within my budget. But I didn't like that it had 2 fans only.

So is there any BIG difference between 800 and 600?

Silent base 800 closed costs 110 euro
Silent base 800 windowed costs 130 euro

Silent base 600 closed costs 90 euro
Silent base 600 windowed 110

I really would like a windowed version, but if there's any big difference between these two then I probably wont mind a closed one. Even though the windowed looks very nice.


My rig if needed:

CPU: Xeon E3 1231 V3
Cooler: Be quiet! Pure Rock
MB: ASRock Fatal1ty B85 Killer
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB
GPU: Sapphire R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 OC VAPOR-X
PSU: Seasonic M12II Evo 520W

Tweakers is a bit cheaper, but thanks!

Any reason I should pick the 600 over 800 ? ( besides the budget )

I just read the review on Tweakers about the 600 and 800.
Barely any difference in cooling performance. I think i'll choose the 600 :)

I can always add another bq fan in the front if I have any issues in cooling.

Thanks for the help.
