Be Quiet! Unveils Dark Base Pro 900 Chassis

btarunr · Jun 3, 2016

Be Quiet! unveiled its latest full-tower chassis, the Dark Base Pro 900. Positioned a notch above the Dark Base 900, this case stands apart in featuring tempered glass windowed side-panels, a wireless charger for Qi standard smartphones, and freely positioning LED illumination. We're not sure if the case retains the motherboard tray reversibility feature of the Dark Base 900. The case features a dual-compartment layout, with a bottom compartment holding the PSU and drives; and the top compartment dedicated to the motherboard tray, with gobs of headroom for long graphics cards. The case supports 420 x 140 mm radiators, and includes three SilentWings 3 PWM fans.

The design appears to be the same.
Flip the case, move the feet, then take of the front panel and invert.
I see no motherboard tray inversion in this or the other case.

Nice.. nice, clean look about it. I'm in the hunt for a new case, this one, among others at Computex this year have caught my eye.

I notice that solid front panels are becoming the norm, I have some serious airflow concerns with just small meshes at the side to suck in air. If I remember correctly the NZXT H440 (one of the first with solid front and top panel) performed quite poorly when it came to airflow.
