In this review, we're looking at the be quiet! Silent Base 802 for build quality, thermal performance, and acoustic (volume) performance. The SB 802 is a higher-end be quiet! case, one step below the company's flagship "Dark Base" lineup, and therefore competes most directly with other recent launches from Fractal (Meshify 2 XL) and Lian Li (O11 XL), although certainly there are many other competitors. The case has interchangeable mesh and solid panels, with additional attention to detail paid to noise damping on the side panel and front and top panels. The mesh version is obviously more focused on airflow. This testing looks at the solid vs. mesh performance, but also looks at noise-normalized thermals between the two.
