The be quiet! Silent Base 802 comes in a large box and weights around ~13.5kg, so it’s not a big box either but has a lot of internal space for your needs. The exact product dimensions are mentioned below. From size point of view we can say it’s a middle-sized case.

A unique feature of this product are the two included front and top panels, which can be changed to get either better acoustics or better airflow. The overall procedure is very easy to be performed.
