bequiet! are very good, I like them - always spend a bit more time thinking about how to make things better, even if they dont always seem to hit the market at the start

[@Eleanora577]

bequiet are great, I always like to see what they release, use one of their coolers and power supplies and they are quality made

[@DigiClever_]

I dont think this is going to make any waves on the market , but I like the use of higher grade materials and the inclusion of good fans

[@psychoalert1823]

Even better. Might be a "copy" but this one specifically not many will have, unlike the O11.

Good to see BQ innovate and come out with something new compared to their existing lineup.

bequiet must be happy about this launch - a lot of youtubers and reviewers like the design of this one

[@rev-zr2xr]

The breakdown was good, and its quite positive to see the flex isnt so bad as some of the cases you reviewed lately - HYTE I am looking at you.

To see a james review receive 8 stars must mean its amazing!!

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Love the review. Cannot wait to see the 900 review. Would be awesome if BeQuiet! sold those revers blade fans separately AND also sold mesh versions of the front and side glass panels as add-on options. CHOICE!

[@kendrickMartinez4238]

Would you use this yourself James as a personal build? you get to see so many cases, I would love to see you close some videos explaining that part of the review. would you use it yourself

[@ajaydhurve154]

One of the best cases I have seen this year IMO.

[@PriyanshuSaroj-tt4yy]

I just bought the white one thanks Kitguru - excited about my new build, just ordered a new ASROCK motherboard and Ryzen 5 on sale

[@KitGuruTech]

Lovely, sounds like a tidy build!

[@stickyfingers9710]

hardware support is pretty good - the included fans seems like the better deal of the two

[@QuentinStephens]

Top work. Props for the white cables. I've noticed that this is becoming more common - I'm sure this is thanks to you pushing this. I also like the upright option. Can I just highlight that when removing the front glass panel it doesn't fall off when you remove the screws? That's good design. Those feet: do they have a noise-dampening effect? With regards to you comments about cut-out sizes at around 16:30, surely you could just route the cables before mounting the motherboard? And with regards to the rounded screws, I wonder if that might have been a previous reviewer? I didn't see you peel any panels so can only assume that someone else did.

[@KitGuruTech]

The front glass needs to slide to the side to remove so it shouldn't just fall off when the screws are removed. The feet have rubber on the bottom to reduce vibration which can help reduce noise, maybe the hollow shape helps too. In terms of the cut-outs, so yes you could feed cables through before screwing down the motherboard but in a not-so-perfect world where there are novice PC builders and simply forgetting to connect something up, wouldn't it be really frustrating if you had to part disassemble a fully built system to connect something to the bottom of the motherboard? be quiet! could have just widened the cut-outs by a few millimetres during the design phase and the problem wouldn't exist.

[@shivamchouhan3496]

nicely done bequiet, bravo!

[@TheJjjoj]

Great review, James. Looking forward to you hopefully doing a custom loop build in the Light Base 900.

[@KitGuruTech]

It's not going to be a custom loop build, sorry, but it should hopefully turn out to look good.

[@roblox_4life-zn2bk]

I like this case, not sure I need a new one anytime soon, but good to see them moving out of a rut with some of their simple case designs.

[@RDX_ASJU_FF]

no eATX mobos - there is enough room for that, nice to see a project zero board being used. good board.

[@justatim8143]

I like the screws as the panels can't fall off when you pick up the case. I have always like the Lay Down version but wish is was even smaller then it is and had less plastic obstruction on the panels for better air flow but they did it the right way with real fine mesh screen.

[@virangbarot]

I just bought a 011D, loving it, this is pretty too !

[@KitGuruTech]

Congrats

[@titan1983x]

Most of the time when I've seen this case showcased they've done a build in it horizontally. I think this case was designed around a horizontal build vice a standard vertical duel chamber build.

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

Looks great but the RGB would look so much better on a black case rather than white

[@coopers1716]

If you pick a final orientation for the case and you want the feet to stay in place, rub a little rubber cement across the attachment point and slap it in place. That won't go anywhere.

Another very good and comprehensive case review. The feet don't look well designed considering the price and I think over time they will weaken and break. Perhaps something solid would have been more suitable.

It's a Lian Li O11D, one of the original ones slightly modified to fit two 360mm radiators and a front distro plate.

[@harshadedit799]

They covered a lot of bases, its not perfect but at least they include fans and its not build from the thinnest cheapest metals they can source to make maximum profit

[@KingViego666]

Where I have to Connect the 2 pin connector from the Vase ?

[@vx53c]

That's one chunky case there. I think Be Quiet! needs to pay more attention to details while chasing the next best thing. They are one of the best European case/fan/cooling solution companies especially in the budget to enthusiast level products but honestly when trading blows with the big boys of the scene the details matter a lot. One thing that really surprised me is that adding floor fans didn't change gpu temps? Could it have been the airflow coz of the nailon filter? Anyhow, like it was proven in this video, when going against the best they have to nail the details or the consumer will pay a bit more and go Lian Li/Fractal/Corsair/Phanteks.

[@KitGuruTech]

This is one of the challenges with back-connect motherboard support, you either sacrifice space in the main chamber for CPU tower coolers or make the case wider.

[@Nakshgaming001]

Its well laid out internally, 400mm long GPU is good - my last case I never paid much attention to that, ended up having to buy another one later to take my 4090

[@KitGuruTech]

That was one of the problems with the O11D until the Evo was launched.
