Specifications and features

be quiet! is known for making technologically-advanced, and absolutely the quietest PC equipment available. True to the motto “form follows function” the Dark Base 900 PRO Revision 2 PC case offers a symbiosis of noise prevention, cooling performance, usability and an extensive capacity for high-end hardware. Well, all that and terrific looks of course. The Dark Base 900 offers whisper quiet operation, that remains intact with the windowed version through the tempered glass panel, and good cooling performance. be quiet! has achieved the latter through intelligent air flow and three pre-installed Silent Wings 3 fans. In addition, the case is characterized by its optimal layout and easy hardware installation. Also, comprehensive dust protection is provided by numerous filters. The chassis has noise dampening on the panels, an integrated fan and LED controller. Let's summarize the primary features of this mid-sized enthusiast class tower chassis.

A flexible modular design:

Tray can slide up and down to fit all sizes of Mainboard (ITX – XL ATX)
Tray can be taken out and used as a bench table
Full system can be pre-installed, tested and dropped back into the body in one step
Tray can be mounted inverted
Side panel with the window can be installed on both sides as well
HDD/ODD are single cage and can be placed everywhere
Water-cooling can be mounted in all areas:

The updated flagship case Dark Base Pro 900 has been revised to emphasize its leading position in the modular and silent full-tower segment. Dark Base Pro 900 received excellent media reviews and customer feedback, but to stay ahead of the curve be quiet! has revised existing features, added new innovations and improved the overall user experience of this high-end PC case.

HDD slot covers support the super clean look inside the case by hiding cables and unused mounting holes

Technology updates

USB 2.0 connectors are replaced by a USB 3.1 Gen. 2 Type C and a quick charging options
LED strips are now at 12V for compatibility with other LED ecosystems and to make them expandable. They can be synchronized with a LED controller of a motherboard.

Fan controller and fans

The fan controller provides the Silence and Performance modes known from the Dark Base 700 to give even more options for individual needs. It can now control or hub up to 8 PWM fans
