be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900

Overview

When it comes to picking a case with a breathtaking number of features, customization options, and storage setups, as well as loads of internal space and gorgeous looks, we feel that the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 sits at the top of the pile. Now that it's available starting at around the $220 mark, it’s a case that you can show off with pride without breaking the bank. From the modular inverted design and wireless charging pad to the tempered glass panel and sound dampening materials, Be Quiet! has outdone itself.

I don't think that I've reviewed a case lately that has had as many features as the Dark Base Pro 900 has. This case does sort of sit by itself it terms of both features and price, it is selling for $249 at our favorite online retailer. That makes it...

The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 currently sells for around €200-€210 incl. taxes or US$249 excl. them. For those who do not need the Qi charger or glass side panel, you may go for the Dark Base 900 for €150-€160 or US$199 respectively. Looks like the...

The words premium, quality, and performance get thrown around more than a proverbial rag doll, but sometimes a product comes along that ticks all the boxes and then some! The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 tempered glass window clad full tower chassis does...

When be quiet! told us its new Dark Base Pro 900 case was larger than the previous 600 and 800 models, just as the numbers suggest, we felt this was a bold move as the trend is towards smaller PCs. Our feelings changed when we saw the specification and...

The lads from be quiet! really hit the nail spot on the head with this chassis... sure, it's not cheap and in fact a tad expensive... but worth the money. If you are about to build an enthusiast class PC then the Dark Base 900 Pro really should be on your shortlist as, quite honestly, it is one of the best cases we have ever tested. Remember, the 'regular' model does not come with that tempered glass side panel, only the Pro does. I think everybody can agree with me, the Dark Base 900 Pro deserves a 'Top Pick' award, well done be quiet!

The Dark Base Pro 900 masters the art of innovation by bringing a lineup of features which will satisfy a variety of different build types. This case earns the flagship moniker in be quiet’s portfolio.

With flawless attention to detail, extensive dust filters and cooling mounts throughout, premium-grade SilentWings 3 fans pre-installed, a modular interior design, and so much more, there isn’t a whole lot, if anything, that the Dark Base 900 series cannot do, making it one of the biggest and best chassis we’ve ever seen!

When it comes to a reputation for quality and innovation, be quiet! is certainly on the shortlist. The Dark Base Pro 900 definitely showcases that innovation and quality. The rich feature set makes the Dark Base 900 stand out, but kick it up a notch to...

Well, this may have been the first large case I've had in the office for a little while but it is certainly an interesting one. Putting aside the orange that everyone knows I love, the Dark Base Pro 900 is a great looking case. Be Quiet! went with a...
