Be Quiet! released the Dark Base Pro 901 chassis

German company Be Quiet! has announced the release of the Dark Base Pro 901, which supplants the previous Dark Base Pro 900 as a high-end chassis with groundbreaking features. The firm asserts that the novel design exhibits flexibility and multifunctionality, allows for reversible installation, simplifies the process, and mitigates excessive usage of screws and small parts.

The Dark Base Pro 901 accommodates Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, L-ATX, and E-ATX motherboard specifications. It features replaceable top and front panels, offers high airflow or silent modes that can be interchanged at will, and provides an integrated hub with spring pins for fans and coolers. Users are also afforded the option to construct a system with an inverted layout.

The chassis incorporates a touch design on the front I/O panel, coupled with a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, four USB 3.2 Type-A ports, audio and microphone jacks, and upgrades to a 15W fast charging for smartphones with wireless charging.

The Dark Base Pro 901 chassis provides up to seven 3.5-inch hard drive slots or up to sixteen 2.5-inch hard drive slots. It includes a 5.25-inch optical drive slot, eight PCI expansion slots, a CPU cooler height limit of 190mm, and a GPU length limit of 350/370mm (with a hard drive rack installed) or 495mm (without a hard drive rack installed). The chassis is also furnished with a GPU bracket to prevent the sagging of large GPUs.

In terms of fan placement, three 120/140 fans can be installed at the front, supporting 120/140/240/280/360/420 liquid cooling. The top can accommodate three 120/140 fans and support 120/240/360 liquid cooling. The rear can house one 120/140 fan, supporting 120/140 liquid cooling. The side can hold three 120 fans and support 120/240/360 liquid cooling. Finally, the bottom can fit three 120 or one 140 fan.

The Dark Base Pro 901 chassis is slated to launch on June 27, with a suggested retail price of $299.90.
