Fact check: Features and pricing (in Euro) of Cooler Master’s SILENCIO S600 PC case.
1. Summary of the results
The Cooler Master SILENCIO S600 is a mid-tower PC case available in two variants: one with a steel side panel and another with tempered glass [1]. The pricing shows some variation across sources:
- Initial launch pricing: €89.99 (steel) and €99.99 (glass) [1]
- Current market pricing: €102.90 to €149.00 as of January 2025 [2]
The case supports multiple motherboard form factors including Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, and ATX [1] [3], and features sound dampening materials as a key selling point [4].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Several important aspects weren't mentioned in the original query:
- The case was initially released in mid-June 2019 [1]
- While marketed as a silent case, the pre-installed fans have a relatively high minimum speed that might impact noise levels [5]
- The case includes modern features like:
- Tool-free component installation
- Integrated SD card reader [4]
- Multiple storage options [3]
- The case serves dual purposes: office use and gaming hardware showcase [6]
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original query's request for pricing information could be misleading without context because:
- There's a significant price increase from launch to current prices, with current prices being about 50% higher than launch prices (p1_s1 vs p3_s2)
- The case's positioning has evolved from a pure silent operation focus to a more versatile offering [5]
- While marketed primarily as a silent case, the pre-installed fans might not deliver optimal silent operation [5], which could affect purchasing decisions for users prioritizing noise reduction
Retailers and manufacturers benefit from emphasizing the dual-purpose nature of the case (silent operation and gaming showcase) as it broadens the potential customer base [6].
