I like the looks of the silent base 800 myself. I also like the fact it has an option for a side fan with an adjustable vent, gives more choices for cooling without sacrificing noise (if you choose to use no fan and leave it closed). It's gotten some really awesome reviews. Nearly went with it myself for a case upgrade and it was a hard choice even given the fact I wanted a side window this time around. For that reason and wanting front mount vs top mount usb ports I ended up going with a different case but I still like the 800.
