Jakob Aylesbury / 9 months ago

be quiet!, the German manufacturer known for it’s cases and various PC cooling solutions, has today revealed white variants of two of its popular cases, the Dark Base Pro 901 & the Dark Base 701 offering the same high quality and feature set as their black counterparts, making them an ideal choice for someone in need of a quality system but with a brighter colour palette.

Dark Base Pro 901 White Edition

The Dark Base Pro 901 is a large and flexible case offering lots of room for some of the largest hardware including E-ATX motherboards, up to 495mm of GPU clearance (depending on HDD mounting), 190mm of CPU cooler clearance, and a lot of potential drive bay capacity with room for up to 7 3.5″ slots and 16 2.5″ slots with the HDD cage sold separately. Users can also utilise an inverted motherboard layout to install their system upside down.

Cooling makes up a lot of be quiet’s product range and this case comes with three 140mm Silent Wings 4 PWM fans in white to match with the rest of the case. For extra fans there is room for up to three 120/140mm in the top, 3x 120/140mm in the front, 3x 120mm in the side, 1x 120/140mm in the back and bottom. This fan support allows for up to a 420mm radiator in the front and 360mm in the top or side.

The Dark Base 701 also has the feature of an inverted motherboard tray which allows you to install your system, upside down.

Like the 901, the 701 also comes with three 140mm Silent Wings 4 PWM fans in white and offers room for a maximum of 8 fans. 3x 140/120mm in the top and front, as well as 1x 120/140mm in the rear and bottom. For radiators this translates to up to 360mm of clearance in both the front and top.
