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.
SilverStone Fara B1
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A perfectly serviceable budget case if you add your own fans, but not competitive against similarly priced cases that already include ARGB fans.
