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.
Thermaltake View 270 Plus TG ARGB
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A good budget alternative to premium dual-chamber showcase cases, though front airflow takes a hit from the all-glass front panel.
