Three preinstalled Pure Wings 2 fans with airflow-optimized fan blades that ensure perfect airflow and cooling. Despite the compact case design the fans at the front, top and rear are 140mm models, resulting in very quiet operation. Up to two 140mm fans can be installed in addition.
Impressive Illumination
ARGB light at the front and inside the case: ARGB LEDs offer multiple colors and modes to individualize the look of the case from the inside as well as from the outside. You can optionally synchronize lighting with your motherboard or ARGB controller.
State-of-the-art technology

Great case but with two (major?) issues
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews. Please reload the page.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021This is an excellent case for those primarily using air cooling or a smaller AIO water cooling set up. Everything is largely well conceived, with filters in appropriate places and mostly easily accessible, and the stock set up of the fans is fine. This isn't a real "5-star" review because it should be possible to remove a half-star for some small annoyances that make so I can't give an unconditional recommendation.
1. The case is unaccountably tight. I have a mATX board (an Asus ROG Strix B550-F). Quite a few times between the power supply shroud and the top of the case I had to drop it straight down because otherwise there was zero clearance. Yet, once I've finished building it, there's... all this space. Good for thermals and noise, I suppose. If you have a big video card AND a water cooling system then tubing, reservoir, radiator and tubing might give you claustrophobia.
2. Cable management is a little weird. They really want you to route everything behind the mainboard tray and then have them pop out a series of gaps. Fine, but the back of the case has like...1.5" of clearance. There's padding to absorb noise and that cuts into the useful space back there. On the "front" you're kind of flapping in the wind. If you only have a single NVMe drive safely tucked away then it matters less, but routing a bunch of SATA cabling in this narrow space was a bit of a clown car.
3. Minor annoyances: the front case is supposed to pop off if you pull it, and it requires an enormous amount of force. Lots of space for SATA SSDs, but without necessarily a ton of thought on how that cabling will get from the MB to the back where they are hiding on this case. Or you can mount them in the front of the little strip that has the BeQuiet! logo, but then your SATA cables are gonna be bending in wacky ways too. Maybe in a few years the USB-C port on the front will be useful, but as of this writing even with a $200 mainboard there's no header for it; could have used another standard USB port there. BeQuiet! could have made the case a few bucks more and given us another fan for better balancing of airflow.
Otherwise it's a good case. Once you've got it set up and don't intend on messing with it then it just needs to sit there and be pretty and not make a ton of noise, which it does perfectly fine.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2022I hope the fans last, because it really is silent. Not quiet, but silent. I just upgraded my box and CPU cooler, and between the two of them, I can't hear anything. That's 3 fans on this, and 2 140mm fans on the CPU, and I've never had a more quiet rig in over 25 years of building gaming rigs.
Pro's:
-Cable Management. Super, duper, superduper effective and rad. It's roomy, too.
-Silent. Like a ninja.
-Lighting can be cycled, and most importantly, turned off.
-Removable filters for easy cleaning. This is actually the #1 reason I was shopping for a new box in the first place. But then...
-Kinda looks good, y'know?
-Removable and replaceable rear card slot pieces. So when you move a card from one slot to another, you can keep the airflow and filter system intact. I am more happy about this than I should be, and I wish more cases that I'd bought in the past had this system.
-Tons of room. Both behind the scenes in the cable management and drive & psu area and out front. You can have one of those gargantuan video cards with probably like 4 fans or something.
Con's:
-Only 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 3.1 on the front panel. Hope you got a hub or mobo with enough for the rest of your stuff.
-Doesn't brew beer.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2022I like the RGB light strips on the front and interior. For me, the case lighting by itself is all I need or want, it's just the right touch of ambient lighting to let you know your computer is there and powered on while looking cool without screaming "look at me".
I'm also impressed with the stock fans, while not silent, they are in my opinion very quiet and are cooling my mid range setup easily at very low RPM. The fact that 3 of these fans were included made the whole thing a good value in my opinion.
My one complaint is the thumb screws. They do not thread in and out easily and I feel like I'm stripping them every time I mess with them. They are used everywhere, like on the PSU plate, cable management cover, drive plates, etc... The ones on the tempered glass panel are better but I feel like at this price that side panel should be more easy to remove vs. slowly unscrewing four thumb screws to gain access.
Overall I'm happy with the case and give it a solid 5 stars. I really like the simple and elegant design of the case and lighting, very cool!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024For the $80 I paid, I would be surprised if there’s a better value option. Used this in my first PC build, and found it to have plenty of room to build, simple installation, and easy cable management. I like that there are USB and USB-C ports on the front, and they keep it simple with the RGB button instead of another program you need to download. Love that it comes with 3 high quality fans in the Pure Wings 2. RGB is just enough to accent and looks great, my only other part with RGB was my graphics card and I am very satisfied, however I have seen some builds with RGB fans that also look great with the case LEDs. The manual left a little to be desired, but was easy enough to figure out. As others have mentioned, it definitely feels like you’re going to break it when you remove the front panel, but never fear, it should just pop right out. I would definitely recommend this case, especially if you can find it for around $80.

Instrucciones gráficas, parcas y con poco detalle, aunque se monta sin problemas. Amplia, ventilada, silenciosa.
Se echa en falta algún USB estándar más en la parte frontal (tiene un USB normal y otro tipo C).
Las luces led no son multicolor, sino blancas.

SimonReviewed in Germany on August 10, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Starkes Gehäuse mit allem drin und dran!
Auf der Suche nach einem besseren Gehäuse für einen "Gamer" kam ich auf dieses. Mir war die Lüftung und das Design wichtig. Ausgepackt, angeschlossen. Startknopf gedrückt- Läuft. Die RGB Lichter funktionieren ebenfalls. Das ganze Gehäuse ist teilgedämmt. Das macht alles angenehmer.
Der Einbau der Komponenten ist einfach. Überall ist platz für Kabel. Sehr durchdachtes Gehäuse. Schrauben und eine Anleitung waren dabei. Wobei letzteres mich ein wenig verwirrte. Die Kabel selbst sind mager beschrieben. Im Grunde durch logisches Denken hat dann alles seinen Platz gefunden. Die drei Lüfter sind gut positioniert. Für einen Normalzocker reicht das völlig aus. Das Gehäuse wird nach dem Spielen sofort wieder runtergekühlt- somit auch die verbauten Innereien. Ein großer Vorteil ist die Bauweise des Gehäuses. Großzügiger Innenraum (Etwas breiter als mein altes). Die Kabel sind sehr gut versteckt / zu verstecken. Oben, unten am Boden und vorne ein Staubfilter. Somit ist dem Luftstrom nichts im Wege. Kurzum: Top Gehäuse. Klasse Preis. Ich würde das immer wieder kaufen. Die HDD (die einzige da drin, ist an den Schraubstellen mit Gummi versehen. Somit gibt es da keine Geräusche von selbiger. Auch top. Rundum ein super Teil. Klasse!! Ich werde meine Meinung entsprechend erweitern wenn das Teil eine Weile gelaufen ist.
Ich hoffe ich konnte mit meiner Meinung zur Kaufentscheidung beitragen.
Viel Spaß beim Kauf und Einbau- Und anschließenden Genuss des ganzen :)
