Review: be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Rev 2

Conclusion

The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Rev 2 is a go-to chassis for enthusiasts planning to put together the ultimate PC. Building on the solid foundations of the original, the Rev 2 addresses almost every identified niggle to provide an upgraded package that users are going to want.

A full-size and well-thought-out PSU shroud is now at hand to hide drives and cable clutter, the integrated fan hub has been improved with support for up to eight PWM fans, the useful HDD slot covers from the Dark Base 700 have been carried over, and the I/O panel has been enhanced with USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 2.

Every upgrade we had hoped for is present, and though it's a shame to have lost the reset button in the process, the Dark Base Pro 900 Rev 2 raises the bar and is a mighty fine example of what a full-tower enthusiast chassis should offer in 2018.

Bottom line: the £259 asking fee is steep, but there's little else as versatile or accomplished on the market today, making this our chassis of choice for a giant, ultra-high-end build.
