be quiet! Dark Base 701 Case Review

When it comes to high-end PC cases, be quiet! has proven time and time again that they’re one of the absolute best. From their first case, and hopefully, including the one I’m reviewing today, they’ve had a string of award-winning cases that have proven a big hit with PC gamers and system builders around the world. That’s not too surprising though, given they’ve maintained an equally high standard for their power supplies, coolers and other products over the years too.
