CONCLUSION

    Three things i can always be certain whenever be quiet! releases a new Dark Base Pro PC case, build quality, spacious interior and simple yet elegant design. This case is pretty much build like a tank, has plenty of interior space for even the largest hardware components (XL-ATX motherboards, 190mm tall CPU air coolers, 288mm long power supplies and 495mm long graphics cards) and even though it will not cause your jaw to drop at first sight it’s still a very elegant model which can fit everywhere, both at home and the office. Unfortunately for people looking to get the most silent full tower around the Dark Base Pro 901 is probably not it, largely because of its tempered glass panel. It would had been nice had be quiet! released the same model but with a steel side panel instead (aimed towards people who’d like something even more silent) but at least for now that’s hasn’t happened.

    As for pricing, at the time of this review the black Dark Base Pro 901 full tower by be quiet! retails for USD227.83 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 306.81Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which although very balanced on the other side of the Atlantic it’s once again a bit high over here (also the white variant was just released so due to very low availability pricing is not accurate). That aside however the Dark Base Pro 901 is a clear step upwards from its predecessor and since it delivers as advertised and then some it clearly deserves the Platinum Award.
