GREAT Case, But There's Also CRITICISM! — be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX White

This is a PC case released not too long ago — the be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX in White. We could most likely consider this an upper-class, high-end case, and that's something the price does seem to confirm. So given the high price, the case simply needs to deliver.
I will tell you in advance, that the Shadow Base 800 FX is great at its core and as far as its general features are concerned, but it also deserves strong criticism when it comes to its accessories. Especially when talking about mechanical hard drives. You'll find out exactly what I mean in today's video.

What's your take on the accessory situation? 🤔
Am I being too harsh here or is my criticism justified? 🤔😅

The price really isn't that bad when you consider it comes with 4 lightwing 140 fans, which a 3 pack is $80, unless on sale

In the end this case is quite basic. It just large. Imo way overpriced compared to something like lancool 3

Mechanical harddrives? In 2024? Oh come on!

Well, it's too basic and the redeeming quality are performance wise and it's slightly bigger frame. It's definitely not worth it, for my taste. What turns me down with this case is the lack of storage/drive bays, no rubber grommets and no cable management tray/side cover. I think considering the price of this case there are a lot more better options in the market. This case is actually pretty good if you only care about performance and want that basic look of a modern case. 🤣

These newer cases are not designed for ancient technology. Mechanical drives should be used in a NAS and not inside the case as they take up valuable room for slow mediocre nonsensical performance. They don't include the trays to reduce the initial cost so ppl don't have top pay for crap they don't need or want. It does come off cheap though at this price point not include them but for most users those trays would just add to the landfills anyway. If you are still using Mechanical drives then this style case is not for you, you can easily find old obsidian 900d or Cosmos II cases for hoarding nonsensical mechanical drives.
