Thanks for the review. Good to know you guys like the case as well. I'm waiting for mine for almost three weeks now. The case is not the problem though, it's the h110i GT that doesn't arrive. They won't ship my order until everything is in stock. I want to start building so badly.
been using BE-Quiet silent wings in my antec 900mk2 for over 4 years now and the difference between the fans that came with the case, to the be-quiet 1s is still something i think back on and smile about. very good decision (smug) no kidding i turned it on and all i could hear was the low woosh of the bigboy on top. and its still the loudest fan today... very impressed...
seeing this case, im impressed again.
ps. when i first saw the case. i thought thats ugggggleee, bright orange, gaudy...eew! not for me. but after your review and having a look at the overall dimensions and accents. its really quite pretty...
i hope BE-Quiet have the option of buying a full set of accent parts in different colours further down the line though.
With all these cases I am split as to whether I should upgrade and get a new case, or stick to the case I chose before. As a casual gamer I only need one tower really :/
I like Be Quiet!'s products. I wish they were a bit more affordable, and available, here in the states. At least Newegg took up selling their products.
If people are looking for quiet fans, and cost is not an issue, I send them towards Be Quiet!'s way.
Nice mid-tower.. its thrown into the lot of mid tower considerations from me.. I like quiet stuff... I realized that my nzxt phantom 820 though big.. and allows for large fans to be turned down very low... is not as quiet as I hoped.. (but still fairly quiet)
Be Quiet seems really good at making cases, considering this is their first attempt. In the future, I would like to see some EATX and cube design ones. If they make an EATX case, it would definitely be on my list of things to upgrade to.
Just did an i5 4690 k build in this case. I also used the Bequiet DarkRock 3 CPU cooler. Can't believe how quiet the system is. My only gripe is not enough tie down points behind the motherboard. I'm in two minds now to use this case or the Define R5 for my x99 upgrade. I agree with you Logan that it is a great case to build in. Great review. I look forward to the comparisons between the 3 cases you mentioned. ( edit had a bit more to add)
I was hoping that Pistols new build would be housed in the majestic 900D. It comes complete with theft-protection (breaks the thief's back!), but I guess this is similarly sized at probably a quarter of the price...
If I recall correctly, Pistol does a fair bit of streaming, which is one of the reasons why she had no qualms using the AMD 8-cores. With Intel putting their own 8-cores out on the market, I think it was a "why not?" type of decision.
They all do a good amount of productivity, so I think it wasn't a wasteful upgrade.
