What do you guys think? I think the design looks sweet especialyl the front. We could definitely do with some more quiet(no pun) cases! At the suggested $130 Be Quiet! will be jumping right into a competitive market and competing with the likes of Fractal Design and their R4 offering.

Risky business jumping in that area, but I guess it worked with Phanteks in the high end.

Apem · 2 Jun 2014 at 23:03

Dont think they look that special look cheap and plastic difference with phanteks is they have innovative and good designs.

UK pricing is going to be around £120 by the way. So its been reported.

A high end case like that from a premium manufacturer like Be Quiet really should have a PSU shroud designed into the case.

I'd be looking at a R4 as a quiet case compared to these. I don't know if it's the shot angle, but do the feet look wider than the case?

Ace Modder · 3 Jun 2014 at 14:37

The feet are wider than the sides of the case - yes. I think it's similiar to the Cosmos cases from Coolermaster.

Ace whens this case you had input on about m8 or when can you give info?

Robot Dog · 3 Jun 2014 at 17:31

The more the better i guess. Hope Build quality is of Be Quiet Standard

Well they might bring some new designs and features which could be beneficial

Those are disappointing looking to say the least. Based on the design of their coolers and also their fans and psu's I was expecting something along the lines of what the Corsair Obsidian line up looks like or perhaps like Anidees, a simple clean and minimalistic looking case. These look more like "gamer" cases.

Looks slightly boring from the looks of the pictures, although I guess I'll have to wait for reviews to know for sure. I was kind of hoping for something more innovative, like the NZXT H440. All cases nowadays seem to follow the same bog standard design.

..at least someone is putting an effort in:

If I saw that in someone's house I'd think it was an air conditioner or de-humidifier or something.

Someone must have tried really, really hard to mke it that hideous.

That does look pretty cool, although I can't say I'd like to see it on my desk

Anyone remember that episode of the Simpsons when they let Homer design that Car. Looks like they had a Homer working at Deepcool

Antec P380

Those feet will transfer vibration to any hard surface you put the case on; it's almost as if there's a rule that every case must have 1 silly design flaw. I have my R4 sitting on a 14mm thick rubber mat.
