Cooler Master Silencio 650 Pure Review
Introduction
We reviewed the original version of the this case back in August of last year and were on the whole impressed with it. A trifle on the expensive side perhaps but as we noted it was quite feature rich. Move forward 12 months and with the original version still very much available but with “Silent” cases becoming ever more popular Cooler Master have decided to release a second version of their Silencio 650 case. As it’s exactly the same chassis the battleship build quality remains. What’s missing are a few of the bells and whistles present on the Original version of the case. Should you decide these missing features are important to you, then rest assured you can still buy the original version of this case. If however a “Pure” version of the Silencio 650 might be the case for you then best you read on to see what’s been cut and what remains.
