This video dives straight into Be Quiet!'s Dark Base Pro 900, showcasing its highly modular design right from the start by removing the motherboard tray to demonstrate how you can build outside the case before slotting it back in. The host explains several key modular features: vertical adjustment for the motherboard tray to accommodate thick radiators or to reveal the full motherboard, and inversion to flip the tray and reposition the windowed side panel for alternate configurations. There is a detailed tour of the interior with enhanced cable management, multiple thermal and drive options, and a robust PWM/fan control setup. The case supports extensive cooling, including top or front radiators up to 360 or 420 mm, and the bottom intake is designed to minimize dust and debris. The video also distinguishes the Pro and nonpro variants, noting the Pro version includes a windowed panel, RGB lighting, and a top USB charger, while the nonpro omits these features. The host wraps up with a tease of further Computex coverage, giving thanks to Corsair and MSI for their sponsorship and inviting viewer feedback on the case design.
