Efficient cooling ensures extremely quiet operation
Three pre-installed SilentWings 3 140mm PWM fans make up another highlight of be quiet!'s flagship case and contribute to its sophisticated cooling concept and perfect airflow. With a unique rotor blade design, rubberized frame and funnel-shaped air intakes, these fans work silently and efficiently. At the same time, the 6-pole fluid dynamic bearing-based (FDB) motor reduces power consumption and vibration. Dark Base Pro 900's comprehensive airflow design is complemented by L-shaped vents in the case, leading to noise reduction and reinforced with insulating foam mats at the front, top and side along with specific decoupling mechanisms for key components. As an added bonus, the case includes a stepless fan controller, supporting four standard or PWM fans.

Nice case for you @puma99dk|

 

[Indurain]

This is a very big case, I have the Black/Orange version. I like it very much and you can invert the MB. I would buy another if I was in the market, maybe even this white version.

Nice case for you @puma99dk|

Nah my phanteks ain't gonna change it's a very special person who picked that out for me so it's special to me

 

[Gasaraki]

Is this all aluminum? For $260, it better be.

 

[Indurain]

No it is not, this isn't LianLi. Plus it has a few features not found on other cases in this price range.

The one con about this case design deterred a buying opportunity from me. No PSU shroud cover of any sort? I understand its a more traditional base full tower design but still, 260$ and no PSU shroud and or panel to hide the spewing of power cables?

 

[Indurain]

@drade that is my biggest complaint too and I actually own this case. It would have been easy to provide even a partial shroud. But since it is not there, that just meant I had to be neater in the cable management that can be seen coming from the power supply.

 

[bonehead123]

I like it overall, but....

No C no buy....

 

[LogitechFan]

A humongous abomination, and most will stick one card in it... I said it once and I'll say it again, there are 0 reasons to use anything but ITX, if you're going to use just one GPU (and considering SLI is dead, and so is CF) - buying ATX is a waste of resources, plain and simple.

Multiple drive trays.

Why don't you just tell us how you really feel!

 

[mcborge]

Nice case but they could have left out the lowest two drive trays and put in a full length psu shroud instead.

Yes, the drive trays would the very first things I would remove, since I have all m.2's now and 1 sdd on the backside... which would open up bookoo airflow and/or wc possibilities....

 

[Indurain]

I left the upper two external bays in place and have two 280 mm radiators installed, watercooling a Ryzen and GTX 1080Ti and that is way more radiator than necessary, with normal daily workloads I rarely see water temps rise more than 5°C. If all I cared about was benchmarks then it would be a higher rise or I would run the fans at 100%, Even at 100% fans (5 ML140's) It is just audible. The fan profile ranges from 30% to 60% depending on water temp It rarely strays about 40-45%. There is plenty of airflow and plenty of room for watercooling. Plus I can charge my Samsung S8 by just laying it on top of the case.

Dark must mean something else to different people than it does me.

I LOLed, they should have called the the Light Base 900 Pro

 

[Disparia]

As for the case, quite nice. I'd have to give in a little... maybe... Trident Z RGB. Just a hit.

 

[RejZoR]

No it is not, this isn't LianLi. Plus it has a few features not found on other cases in this price range.

This one is a bit over-engineered if you ask me. Especially on the motherboard rotation part and raising and lowering the motherboard height placement. I mean, sure, some probably look for that feature, but large majority doesn't really. And it just adds unnecessary cost to otherwise excellent case, making it too expensive for people who don't need that stuff. It could be a lot cheaper while still beating 3/4 of competition with better design for everything else.

nice but out of my range
