At this Taipei Computex 2023, be quiet! has announced its new flagship for the PC case market: La be quiet! Dark Base Pro 901 in full tower format.
It’s been 7 years since the launch of the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900model that was followed by a revision later and that will now be replaced by this new Dark Base Pro 901 For all those who are looking for a high-performance computer where there is no lack of space for the largest and most powerful components on the market together with the most capable cooling solutions.
In a market where more is usually bet on semi-towers with contained sizes, the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 901 It stands out for its enormous size and a modular system of panels with which to configure it to your liking and to be able to access the interior in the easiest way possible.
Steel, tempered glass, and mesh are the main materials that make up this box with a double-chamber design, the main one for the motherboard, CPU, heatsink, and graphics card, among other components. Below is the second chamber where the power supply is placed, which can reach up to 28.8 centimeters.
We have space for 49.5 centimeter graphics cards, so we can fit any model available on the market, even the largest and equipped with liquid cooling systems.
For the CPU heatsink we have an available height of 19 centimeters, so there will be no problem with high-performance air coolers either.
As we can see in the following image, there is also no shortage of physical connectivity on the front thanks to its two 3.5mm mini-jack audio ports, its four USB-A 3.0 ports or its USB-C. Besides, we have two touch zones to control the speed of the fans and the RGB lighting.
Just above, there is a surface where we can place the smartphone and charge it wirelessly, since the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 901 includes a Qi wireless charger with 15W of power.
Attention is drawn to a lower cover on the front that, when opened, we find a 5.25-inch bay to place everything from rehobuses to optical drives (something increasingly rare to see), but without forgetting other devices that can go in this type of bays as liquid cooling tanks, etc.
Also noteworthy is the modular system that allows the box to be disassembled without using practically any tool. In the following image we can see it completely disassembled with all its components on the table, being able to choose between covers with acoustic insulation or ortas that improve cooling.
You can change the direction of the motherboard tray and even the side covers. In addition, it supports vertical graphics.
The level of disassembly is maximum, even the filters can be removed from the front, which, in turn, is completely removed from the structure of the box.
Also striking is the system of contact pins with which energy can be transferred to fans without the need to connect the panels with cables. In this way, you can assemble everything separately and join it later.
It also offers a support for graphics cards and prevents them from bending or the PCIe x16 port suffering from the size of the larger models.
Its cooling capabilities are also very good. Serial the DarkBase Pro 901 It includes three 140mm Silent Wings 4 1900RPM front-mounted ARGB-lit fans (includes PWM control), but there’s room for a whopping 11 fans spread across most sides of the case. box.
This naturally leaves room for all sorts of liquid cooling systems including triple radiators up to 420mm.
For storage, the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 901 takes advantage of its large dimensions to accommodate a multitude of hard drives of all sizes, both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch. As standard, we have two 3.5″ bays and six 2.5″ bays, but it is possible to purchase more to place them in the different anchoring areas of the tower.
Its official price will be 320 euros and it will hit the market at the end of June of this year, a price typical of the highest-end boxes with which this be quiet competes! Dark Base Pro 901.
