The be quiet! Dark Base 700 is the brand's first RGB-equipped chassis. It keeps the design elements of the previous be quiet! cases and, as it is part of the Dark Base family, is intended for the high-end enthusiast who may love the larger Dark Base 900, but is looking for a more compact choice.

Now can we get a quiet version of this without the glass side?

It's not just type-C port but also that fan controller which seems to be a last minute addition though it doesnt take away from aesthetic and build of the case. Overall looks like a decent case though slightly on expensive side.

Thanks for the review, I like this case. The build quality appeals to me after a disappointing experience with Corsair cases.
