| Tweakers.net review of Dark Base Pro 900 |
High-quality, versatile case with almost no flaws
The Dutch tech authority Tweakers.net has published a review of the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900. The reviewer positively comments on the minimalistic design, build quality, performance (silence and heat) and talks in detail on the versatile options this case offers when it comes to component placement. They would have loved to see the Qi charger working when the PC is turned off, but otherwise highly recommend this case. “Design is subjective, but the Dark Base 900 is a well-designed slick case that fits perfectly in the Silent Base series and
both literally and figuratively rises above these models. The build quality is without a doubt excellent and the fact that the empty skeleton is still extremely stiff means that this German company is honoring the Deutsche Gründligkeit.” to the article » |

in terms of cooling and what you can fit inside, Be Quiet! has shown that this is not only possible without costing a fortune due to design costs, but does result in benefits depending on your setup too. Thankfully the Pro 900 also looks fantastic and has one of the best feature sets we've seen in a case as well.” to the article »  |

Unfortunately, it has been surpassed these days by the new models from Corsair (SF450, SF600) and Sharkoon (Silentstorm SFX 450W) so even though the SFX Power 2 is a good power supply, it did not win any awards. “When you're prepared to offer modularity for a lower price, then there are three options: one by be quiet! and two by Sharkoon. The be quiet! SFX Power 2 300W (€55) won
a Gold Award two years ago, but is now surpassed by the SilentStorm-series from Sharkoon.” to the article » |
