be quiet! might well have been, well quiet recently but they've not been idle that's for sure. They've been busy designing a new Case, no surprise there then! But this new Case is more than just a Case as this is be quiet!'s new flagship Case. This is the...
What I'll do though is highlight some of the main features. Probably the most important feature of this case is its water cooling support and its modular design, with support for up to four radiators and sizes up to 420mm, with additional support for up...

What does a modular case actually look like? What does modular actually mean when it comes to PC cases anyway? These questions are what Be Quiet! was looking to answer with the Dark Base Pro 900, the company's most ambitious and most expensive case so far...
The Dark Base Pro 900 touches on practically every conceivable topic we'd normally discuss in a conclusion with a premium case, and this can make for a tricky decision both in terms of a recommendation and for the end user. It's expensive enough to compet...

When be quiet! told us its new Dark Base Pro 900 case was larger than the previous 600 and 800 models, just as the numbers suggest, we felt this was a bold move as the trend is towards smaller PCs. Our feelings changed when we saw the specification and li...

Germany-based Be Quiet! made a strong impression with the Silent Base 800 in late 2014, delivering on all fronts including top-notch thermals, easy installation, an excellent build quality and plenty of features. Most impressive of all, that was their fir...
From the modular inverted design and wireless charging pad to the tempered glass panel and sound dampening materials, Be Quiet! has outdone itself. Featurepacked is putting it mildly.
Pricing is getting up there at $200 plus, but you get what you pay for.
