It has been quite a while since Lee's review of the be quiet! Silent Base 800 so it is worth revisiting this case over at The Tech Report. The price has not changed from the original launch but there do seem to be more colours available, up to and including orange. There are several features which could influence you to purchase the case, top mounted I/O ports and power button and the Pure Wings 2 fans included in the case. On the other hand there is a distinctive lack of a reset button and the case is rather narrow and extra large GPUs will require the removal of drive cages. Check out the full review to see whether this case holds any interest for you.
"be quiet!'s Silent Base 800 full tower case features extensive silencing features throughout for quiet operation. We tested this case to see whether be quiet!'s noise-killing efforts deliver."

I own this case and love it
I own this case and love it despite the giant size. Please make a correction.
“On the other hand there is a distinctive lack of a reset button”
The hard drive light is the reset button. It’s sort of easy to miss but it is easy to use.
