be quiet!, is pleased to introduce the Dark Base 701 case. This meticulously designed case elevates both performance and aesthetics to new heights. Featuring a full mesh top and front, award-winning Silent Wings 4 fans, subtle ARGB effects, and a strong focus on usability, the Dark Base 701 is a versatile choice for PC enthusiasts and gamers.

Unlike its predecessor, the popular Dark Base 700, the Dark Base 701 takes a slightly different approach. While the Dark Base 700 was crafted for near-silent operation, the Dark Base 701 prioritizes high airflow and performance. This shift is achieved through fully perforated mesh panels, ideal for accommodating case fans or water cooling setups. With three pre-installed Silent Wings 4 140 mm PWM high-speed fans (capable of reaching a maximum speed of 1900 rpm) and room for an additional five 120 mm or 140 mm fans, this case effortlessly meets the cooling needs of modern high-end systems.

Ease of use is a key feature of the Dark Base 701, catering to users of all experience levels. Installation of drives, fans, and radiators is remarkably straightforward. The case boasts tool-less installation for HDDs and SSDs. Fans and radiators, with support for up to 360 mm sizes, can be mounted on a front frame that is easily removable from the case or on a top frame that smoothly slides out from beneath the fixed mesh top. Furthermore, the entire motherboard tray can be removed for assembly outside the case, and it can also be inverted with minimal effort. For those interested in vertical GPU installation, three additional vertical slots are available, provided you have an optional riser cable. The Dark Base 701 is also compatible with HDD Cage 2, offering additional support for HDDs and SSDs. With its blend of functionality, aesthetics, and ease of use, the Dark Base 701 stands as an excellent choice for PC enthusiasts and gamers seeking a high-performance case.

Useful features, stunning aesthetics
Great performance obviously goes hand-in-hand with great aesthetics. The sleek, all-black design of Dark Base 701 is elevated by two ARGB LED strips, which run down the front panel and are connected to a combined ARGB and fan hub for up to 8 PWM fans and 2 additional ARGB devices. The front I/O includes dedicated buttons for the ARGB and fan controller, one USB type C port and two type A ports, as well as audio input and output. Cable routing channels keep the inside of the case neat and tidy, while a tempered glass side window allows for a superb view of the PC components. As usual, be quiet! offers a full 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
