If you want a stylish full-tower, that’s been made from premium materials, then the Dark Base Pro 900 could be what you’ve been looking for. Due to the modular design, the internal layout is absolutely brilliant. We really like the tool-less sledges for HDDs and SSDs as well as the removable motherboard tray. The interior is modular to quite an extent allowing you to even reposition the placement of your motherboard. If you are a fan of reverse-ATX cases for example, the Dark Base Pro 900 even gives you that option. For that purpose you have to release a few screws and then turn the motherboard tray the corresponding way.

Thanks to the huge dimensions of the chassis, there is enough space for all kinds of components. Nevertheless the cable management is not perfect and could easily be improved. We would like the case to be a few millimeters wider so there is more space between the backside of the motherboard tray and the right side panel. Additionally we would like to see a PSU cover since there is a huge tempered glass panel which shows everything is inside your case.
Another aspect we really came to appreciate is the compatibility with the custom water cooling loops. First of all you get three fans with which have already been included in the delivery of the Dark Base Pro 900 and even their cables have been sleeved. Apart from that the chassis itself comes with armada of additional spots for fans. As we already mentioned you can install 360/420mm radiators and that itself is great already. It's pretty clear that this case is perfect for anybody who’s looking for a solution with good airflow.

Despite the fact that the Dark Base Pro 900 is a premium case made of high quality materials such as tempered glass, the price is still quite reasonable. Apart from the great looking design there is good airflow as well as a very well-thought interior. The Dark Base Pro 900 is available for 209 Euros and receives 4 stars out of 5.
