THE SILENT BASE 800 INTERIOR

Both side panels are covered by sound dampening material on the inside while the square cutouts also feature dust filters.

Orange is also present inside the tower but the interior is not what I’d call very spacious.

Seems that the top 5.25" is not really functional but the other 3 do feature tool-less locking mechanisms.

The tower comes with two drive cages mounted both of which offer space for up to seven 3.5" drives (strangely enough in the tower we found 13 and not 14 rubber mounts).

Since you may wonder what these two thumbscrews are doing on the side of the drive cages we will tell you. You can actually remove both cages and place one of them inside the 5.25" drive bays (if you don't plan on using 5.25" drives or devices).

To remove the cages you will first need to remove the two screws found at their rear as seen above.

After that just remove the three thumbscrews at the front (and the two holding those two cages together) and you're good to go.

There's also room for two 2.5" (7mm) drives ontop of the two drive cages although the designed in Germany engraving is equally nice to see.

If you remove the top drive cage you can install graphics cards up to 400mm long (with it you can fit cards up to 290mm long).

Be Quiet! has also placed two extra 2.5" mounting spots (vertical ones) right beneath the mainboard tray (remove the thumbscrews, mount the drive onto the bracket and then mount it back on the mainboard tray).

There's also a good amount of space beneath the mainboard tray for cable management purposes.

The mainboard tray also has 4 large rubber grommets for routing cables and a very large cutout beneath the CPU area.

All 7 PCI expansion slots feature regular thumbscrews.

Moving to the PSU area if you decide to use a regular PSU you will also have room for a 120/140mm intake fan.

Taking a look at the top of the tower from the interior we see that the top panel is held in place by 6 clips.

Remove those clips and you now have access to the top of the tower where you can place either two 120/240mm exhaust fans or a 240/280mm radiator.
