The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 represents the company's largest and most advanced chassis. It aims to deliver utmost flexibility, space, and functionality without breaking the bank. This is a lofty goal set forth by many case manufacturers, so it will be interesting to see if the Dark Base Pro 900 manages to deliver.

I wouldn't consider that to be exact...
I mean the reversible motherboard tray was never featured in any of Fractal's products, neither the Qi Charger.
Having the modularity to move the motherboard tray in height is totally new to the PC chassis industry, it was never done before, not even by people like CaseLabs (cases that cost more that 400€ most of the times).
Plus is much bigger then even the Define XL and has more radiator capacity if you wanna go bonkers with water cooling and looks way cooler in the process (no pun intended, and of course looks are subjective).

LOL, no. I own both cases actually and the Bequiet is so much nicer in terms of finish and build quality. However, being fair to the Fractal, it's less than half the price I paid for the Dark Base Pro. If you're factoring in the price, Fractal is the far better purchase, if you're not concerned about the price then you shouldn't be disappointed with the quality of this BeQuiet case. I will however say that I've read of a couple unhappy users, they said some things weren't finished properly, I had no such problems.

I believe it's all metal, aluminum maybe. I'm not home right now to look at it though. Either way, the finish LOOKS like it's some form of brushed/black metal, doesn't look cheap that's for sure.



Forgive me, I'm trying to embed the picture of mine lol, I obviously don't know what I'm doing. I'm more of a hardware guy.
