Verdict
be quiet! Shadow Base 800
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The best quiet-focused case in be quiet!'s lineup for anyone who also wants serious radiator support, without paying flagship Dark Base Pro pricing.
Corsair 3000D Airflow
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A smart downgrade path from the 4000D Airflow when budget or desk space is tight, without losing the mesh-front airflow design.
