I haven't installed anything on my computer with a disk in over 2 years, yet I look at my case daily. So...disk drives are useless yet LED's are pleasing to look at, so I consider them useful.
This is a company doing tech reviews of tech stuff... erm... if it's "too hard" for a company of 10+ people to get that done then how is a single enthusiast supposed to do it?
flip the panels, Triggered flip the motherboard, Triggered comes with 3 fans, Triggered 140mm rad on the top, Triggered 140mm rad in the rear, Triggered 32 screws, Triggered btw, its impossible for the germans to build something thats not done overly complicated that its so good.
Just purchased this case in Nov 2022 for my 4080/water-cooled 13700k build because it was basically the only case I could find that supported a disk drive. It isn't for new pc builders because the sheer modularity is overwhelming but it is great. I ended up taking a Dremel to it to be able to drop the motherboard tray an extra half inch in order to fit a push pull fan setup for the top mounted radiator and just removing the door for a little more airflow. I'm running 6 140mm fans and 8 120mm fans (plus the 3 gpu fans) and at full blast the computer is still whisper quiet.
Kinda thinking about buying one for my roommate. Hes got a 7 yr old laptop right now. All he really needs is a Facebook machine with decent storage so I think it would work well for him.
Regardless . A extra 10 minutes out of his life didn't deserve such a boring and crappy review. This is 1of the better cases that has hit the market in the last 10 years. I guess Canadians brains aren't thawed out 100% yet. Eh?? Maybe more socks and sandals? ROFL
How is the review boring and crappy? He didn't even give it a bad rating either. He just said having 32 screw operations compared to 16 is a little tedious which is true. Oh and 10 minutes for 16 screw operations...?
Picked one of these up the other day. Case is super quiet and with a h115i in push pull configuration, it allows the flexibility to move the motherboard tray down for additional space. Great case and worth the money.
Usefull for side mounted motherboard sata ports, that way you can plug the bottom row with right angle and process them under the motherboard and leave the top row available for straight cables.
I got this case two days ago and it is the best case ever!! I inverted the case to have the motherboard upside down and switch the window panel to the other side. That leads to my only critique point: You need to remove and screw back an insane amount of screws, and some of them are drilled in so hard, that it is not possible to remove them without damaging the screw head. Also, I already damaged one of the plastic latches that holds the top of the case. At this point, they could have used screws instead of latches to hold the top down... So if you plan to buy this to invert it and make an insane build, get some really strong high-quality screw drivers...
I gotta say, for whatever reason, I really liked the "sarcasm" and attitude in this video. So much so I might forward it to a friend who likely doesn't even care about computer cases. Thumbs up, and keep up the great work!
I love the Define R series, but in terms of modularity and quality, the Dark Base is definitely a step up. You get what you pay for and if the Define R5 is all you need, then you'll be happy with it, but if you want a premium case with premium fans included, the Dark Base 900 Pro is one to take a look at.
this comes with a level of modularity no other case does, and also a Qi wireless charger, they could've easily priced it way more by using some fancy materials
PneumaticFrog Dark Base is orange/black/silver only. Silent Base offers more colourful options such as red or green. Info from here: www.bequiet.com/en/case
1:33 are the LED’s allready in the case? Like I got mine years ago but never new about this, have they been there collecting dust or are they separate ones you connect up, and yes I do have the pro model and I can’t test it rn since I’m in another country
Great video guys!!! You did mention how annoying it is to build in, so a specific video on that would be a great follow up for those interested in just how modular the case is?
I have ver. 2 of this case. I was able to drop my CPU Temps by 10c+ at idle by taking my 360mm water cooler from the top and mounting it to the front. Heat gets trapped in the top cover, and since it's metal, I actually had issues with it getting hot enough to the point that it was uncomfortable to touch it for more then a couple seconds, which is great for winter months as a space heater, but not so much for summer. Don't mount your water cooler on the top.
Uh... "Condensate" NOUN liquid formed by condensation. uncontained liquid is bad for electronics... Don't believe me? Take a bath with a plugged in toaster, its all the proof needed........
I like the PSU cables for some reason. It 'adds' to the look... for me. A lot of people hate cables... but I like them especially when tidy. I'll do me, you do you.
thank you linus tech tips for being awesome at computers! I came here from one of PrestonPlayz's videos almost 3 months ago. Coming in all I new was that big numbers usually meant it was better, and I also knew what parts you needed to build a pc, but I didn't know what they did or anything. In just a short 3 months of watching you you have taught me so much, and now even though I've never built a computer, I have a feeling I could build one (but I don't have enough money to afford one D:). Thank you so much for being smart and awesome and making me smarter (and maybe awesomer)
oh okay , i don't have gtx 1070 at present i'm getting all this information from different posts on reddit and youtube. I just want to play games at 1440p with 80 fps +.
have recently purchased this case, I do not regret my purchase nevertheless there are a few small drawbacks in my opinion negatives * motherboard screws are too small * the door lock does not close properly, bad design * internal power supply mount, I do not know what its purpose is the cooling holes are not big enough under the power supply good points * a very spacious cabinet for many possibilities such as water cooling enough harddisk mounthings .... * very quiet case * assembly went flawlessly, many accessories, screws cable management strips .... * very nice design
bruh, this is the case I chose for the first time for building a PC, it was the best case I thought ever, but it wasn't..., the glass cover windows thing is heavy, and what happened for me was that every time I tried to open it, it is so, so, not easy to grab or just simply take it out, so, guess what, it was so heavy that it makes my fingers slipped just a tiny bit of one side of the cover, then, the bottom corner of that glass hit on the floor, Boom, the whole glass shutter, I was shocked, hearing the clock noise tick tock tick tock, couldn't believe what happened, and didn't know what to do, gladly, it wasn't falling all apart right away until.. I tried to leave it up and put them in trash, pieces of glass dropped alone the way. Solution? 1 months of using the case paper board as a cover, while ordering a custom plastic(?) PCIE board (not sure the name of it, but like a transparent plastic board), which took me so long to figure out the right size, because I couldn't find the length and width for that windows.., then drew 4 holes, and finally solved after few months. Also, after 1 year of using, Problems: 1. this case, for some reason it has another short cable inside the case located at the Power Supply part, basically, instead of 1 Cable > Power Supply, Now, it is like 1 cable > connected to another cable, which located in the pc case like i mentioned where it is > then to the Power supply. I hope this make sense, but the problem is, it was so loose, from time to time, you might not able to boot your PC, and you have to go and twist it like a old broken cable earphone..., so it was disappointing. 2. inside the case, where the bottom part have a metal thing protecting the power supply, it is so hard to lift up, this would be a problem when you try to install some new components in every while in times. finally, I just want to ask if anyone would know any case that have the following features: - a cover that connected to the case, you open it as if a window without the effort of taking the whole cover off with screws. - driver holder (SSD, HDD) that could be installed easily via some sort of sliding function built with the case. - similar size to this Base 900 pro case Thanks.
Request: Midrange build using this case. Max cash: $700 USD ($800 feasible if absolutely required) Requirements: Wireless AC, Larger storage over Speed HDD (target 2TB), Nvidia GPU, Plenty of ram, Intel and AMD variants (pick your poison) Decent Audio, outperforms the PS4 (Must greatly outperform the ps4 compared to pricepoint, as I would need to justify almost or double the cost of a PS4). Liquid cooling is a plus, especially if you can OC it.
LinusTechTips Have you tried to see if the SSD mounts will fit 2.5 HDD s. It might be a case I would wanna try out if it works with the hard drives i have lying around. Also, are those LED strips magnetic or held by adhesive?
Excellent review but I definitely agree, a separate section for the power supply and power cables would definitely be appreciated. Still, for its size it's not bad.
Loved the case but ran into a major issue. The motherboard stand off's were all stripped! Had to replace each one from an older case. That's not an oops one off but might be a production issue among many. May want to examine that first if you bought the case and before full install of the MB.
i didn't think i like this case till he said u can reverse everything from the left side to the right HELLS YA so far This case plus the cousair 570x and the mastercase maker5 and 5t are my top 4 cases i love
The Aerocool Dreambox is and always will be the most modular case. I have one, I built it piece by piece to exactly how I wanted it. You guys mentioned it on a wan show but never went further than a cliffnote, what gives?
Reverseable option is huge, I'm locked in as to where I can put my case and have pull all the cables to hoist out the rig just to get at it for cleaning and access. I've been looking for a new case for while and was considering the CM pro5, maybe now, not so much. Had a BQ before, was pretty good at keeping dust out of the system which is another pro for me as I didn't have to pull out for cleaning as often
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a stupid question, but how do you use the Qi charger? I left it plugged in to it's normal hub, but when the PC is powered on, it doesn't charge my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge if you're wondering if my phone supports wireless charging). Am I just stupid or did I get a faulty Qi charger?
The one thing that really bothers me with bequiets cases is that the front fan mounts are on the inside, which means that if you want to put a radiator in the front you pretty much have to have the fans in push instead of pull unless you want a big gap between the rad and the dust filter.
If it were fully modular it would have allowed for more than two 5.25" drive bays. My file server alone uses nine 5.25" bays. iStarUSA hot swap modules FTW!
Continuing to trash-talk DVD drives, but they keep trying to sell us on RGB LEDs. What's REALLY the useless feature, here?
Both.
discs are outdated and rgb looks shit imo, so both.
i need a minimum of 5 dvd drive bays in any case because that's where i keep my reservoir and fan controller.
I haven't installed anything on my computer with a disk in over 2 years, yet I look at my case daily. So...disk drives are useless yet LED's are pleasing to look at, so I consider them useful.
+Ashaira who uses 5.25 fan controllers anyway and 5.25 res looks like shit anyway so its useless
Don't ever mock disc drives again, I still use mine and you hurt it's feelings. I had to pop in my dvd of caligula to make it feel better again.
underrated comment
You do you man, you do you.
I popped in my terraria collectors edition to show respect to all disc drives
I haven't played that game in years ;-;
are disk drives like floppy drives of todays kids?
+Potato Lord Terraria otherworld when 😭😭😭
You didn't even show how you can configure the case differently. I thought that was the whole point of it...
Exactly, I was about to comment on that. What a useless review.
He described it... Did you not hear him say how hard it was to re-install the components for a different layout?
This is a company doing tech reviews of tech stuff... erm... if it's "too hard" for a company of 10+ people to get that done then how is a single enthusiast supposed to do it?
frist thing that he should have talked about

I never knew it was a shirt! I had it as wallpaper omg :O
I know right? I want one...
Damn straight.
CUTE
you can get one from a website called Qwertee.com they sale some amazing shirts :D
what if they included mastercase maker 5 ad xD
epic fail
nope luckily it's the Intel Canyon NUC that I've heard about for 300 videos
Kinda thinking about buying one for my roommate. Hes got a 7 yr old laptop right now. All he really needs is a Facebook machine with decent storage so I think it would work well for him.
If your roomate just wants facebook and storage, the ASUS transformer book is good.
Get him a phone with a micro sd card slot.

"43 screw operations compared to the standard 16...seems like not a big deal"

Clever.
Regardless . A extra 10 minutes out of his life didn't deserve such a boring and crappy review. This is 1of the better cases that has hit the market in the last 10 years. I guess Canadians brains aren't thawed out 100% yet. Eh?? Maybe more socks and sandals? ROFL

Picked one of these up the other day. Case is super quiet and with a h115i in push pull configuration, it allows the flexibility to move the motherboard tray down for additional space. Great case and worth the money.
I actually like the fact that it still has the CD drive that's perfect for a hot-swap bay or add ons like an LED fan speed and temperature indicator.

I actually like it when cases include space for dvd drives, primary reason I didn't buy a noctis 450.
lmfao, you still use DVDs?
+xgkenny I use an optical drive to burn music for my truck.
+xgkenny I do as well. They are quite useful for legacy software and games among other things.
There are cheap external optical drives.
András Bíró I have plenty of internal drives from over the years. Plus, aren't externals about the same price as internals?
That's my case now . Thanks man
I wanna go with this case because it has more Drive slots and not a lot of modern cases have that.
Right-angle SATA cables are just evil anyway. Avoid them at all costs.
Ya here?
Usefull for side mounted motherboard sata ports, that way you can plug the bottom row with right angle and process them under the motherboard and leave the top row available for straight cables.
I got this case two days ago and it is the best case ever!!
I inverted the case to have the motherboard upside down and switch the window panel to the other side.
That leads to my only critique point: You need to remove and screw back an insane amount of screws, and some of them are drilled in so hard, that it is not possible to remove them without damaging the screw head.

So if you plan to buy this to invert it and make an insane build, get some really strong high-quality screw drivers...
If this case had a PSU shroud i'd buy it in a heart beat.
Build one yourself
it would look like shit if i built one.
Sesy COD Pope if the case had a PSU shroud then yeah.
+Dinklemin or you could take off the brand sticker on the psu
Same that was the deal breaker for me
man I wish I had the money for this case it's so coll, and the fact that his optical drive support is one of the selling points for me.
"2 5-in-a-quarter-inch bay for you to install your optical drives to use as drink holders"
4:21 That's some infomercial level of accuracy in plugging in that SATA cable.
Looking at the case in the video.....this doesn't seem like its gonna "be quiet" with that HUGE window and back venting - How quiet is it?
Check other reviews like hardwarecanucks, techsource, kitguru and so on. this review here is worthless. it actually is very quiet.
I gotta say, for whatever reason, I really liked the "sarcasm" and attitude in this video. So much so I might forward it to a friend who likely doesn't even care about computer cases.
Thumbs up, and keep up the great work!
270€ !! Wow thats so cheap... not. Would rather just get Define R5
Exactly what i was thinking
160€...
I love the Define R series, but in terms of modularity and quality, the Dark Base is definitely a step up. You get what you pay for and if the Define R5 is all you need, then you'll be happy with it, but if you want a premium case with premium fans included, the Dark Base 900 Pro is one to take a look at.
this comes with a level of modularity no other case does, and also a Qi wireless charger, they could've easily priced it way more by using some fancy materials
Of course its nice case if you are doing somekind high end build and want a bit more "exotic" to it.
A rather superfluous video - No teardown or anything. Not even shots of the different configurations possible.
I want a green one :(
too bas
The Silent Base comes in green.
+Tallmios is there a red one?
PneumaticFrog Dark Base is orange/black/silver only.
Silent Base offers more colourful options such as red or green.
Info from here: www.bequiet.com/en/case
Tallmios what's the difference between the two?
5:05 I love how he says "But it's kinda annoying" in that tone, lol.
um.. thats is a scary GPU sagg
I know your comment is 2 years old, but it’s the one I was searching for. Rip that windforce
Its brutal lol
1:33 are the LED’s allready in the case? Like I got mine years ago but never new about this, have they been there collecting dust or are they separate ones you connect up, and yes I do have the pro model and I can’t test it rn since I’m in another country
I just miss the footage or timelapse from configuring it to another setup... you just talk about how its modular without showing it.
Thanks for a great review. You were the only one that pointed you can install an optical drive (I need this for burning DVD/copying)

money though? its pretty damn expensive ;(
+Jordan McGaw expensive is fun
Pick a Thermaltake V1 Core, they're beautiful little cases.

If you are on a "budget" get the Silent Base 800.

I have ver. 2 of this case. I was able to drop my CPU Temps by 10c+ at idle by taking my 360mm water cooler from the top and mounting it to the front. Heat gets trapped in the top cover, and since it's metal, I actually had issues with it getting hot enough to the point that it was uncomfortable to touch it for more then a couple seconds, which is great for winter months as a space heater, but not so much for summer. Don't mount your water cooler on the top.
so like I need my PC to condensate are there enough fan slots to make that happen?
Depends on how much you need to compensate for.

why no gtx 1070 reviews ?
Great and but i'm looking for gtx 1070 ftw or gaming z reviews that i cant find on web.
pointless * ? but why ?
I know about custom pcb with more phases and clocks will be higher out of the box plus i think it can overclock the chip more than reference pcb.
oh okay , i don't have gtx 1070 at present i'm getting all this information from different posts on reddit and youtube. I just want to play games at 1440p with 80 fps +.
Great and i think in a year or so , 1440p will be standard resolution.

notification sqquuuuaaaaad
no
+TheMicrosoft Guy Yes
Ayee
ayyy
yahzzz
you guys at linustechtips are the best actors ive ever seen
have recently purchased this case, I do not regret my purchase
nevertheless there are a few small drawbacks
in my opinion
negatives
* motherboard screws are too small
* the door lock does not close properly, bad design
* internal power supply mount, I do not know what its purpose is
the cooling holes are not big enough under the power supply
good points
* a very spacious cabinet for many possibilities such as water cooling enough harddisk mounthings ....
* very quiet case
* assembly went flawlessly, many accessories, screws cable management strips ....
* very nice design
This will be a really good gift to the neighbors as the side panels states , 'be fucking quiet'
Hi, I see you mounted the power supply upside down? so the fan of the power supply is facing up? what is the reason for it?
bruh, this is the case I chose for the first time for building a PC, it was the best case I thought ever, but it wasn't..., the glass cover windows thing is heavy, and what happened for me was that every time I tried to open it, it is so, so, not easy to grab or just simply take it out, so, guess what, it was so heavy that it makes my fingers slipped just a tiny bit of one side of the cover, then, the bottom corner of that glass hit on the floor, Boom, the whole glass shutter, I was shocked, hearing the clock noise tick tock tick tock, couldn't believe what happened, and didn't know what to do, gladly, it wasn't falling all apart right away until.. I tried to leave it up and put them in trash, pieces of glass dropped alone the way.
Solution? 1 months of using the case paper board as a cover, while ordering a custom plastic(?) PCIE board (not sure the name of it, but like a transparent plastic board), which took me so long to figure out the right size, because I couldn't find the length and width for that windows.., then drew 4 holes, and finally solved after few months.
Also, after 1 year of using, Problems:
1. this case, for some reason it has another short cable inside the case located at the Power Supply part, basically, instead of 1 Cable > Power Supply, Now, it is like 1 cable > connected to another cable, which located in the pc case like i mentioned where it is > then to the Power supply. I hope this make sense, but the problem is, it was so loose, from time to time, you might not able to boot your PC, and you have to go and twist it like a old broken cable earphone..., so it was disappointing.
2. inside the case, where the bottom part have a metal thing protecting the power supply, it is so hard to lift up, this would be a problem when you try to install some new components in every while in times.
finally, I just want to ask if anyone would know any case that have the following features:
- a cover that connected to the case, you open it as if a window without the effort of taking the whole cover off with screws.
- driver holder (SSD, HDD) that could be installed easily via some sort of sliding function built with the case.
- similar size to this Base 900 pro case
Thanks.
Request: Midrange build using this case. Max cash: $700 USD ($800 feasible if absolutely required)
Requirements: Wireless AC, Larger storage over Speed HDD (target 2TB), Nvidia GPU, Plenty of ram, Intel and AMD variants (pick your poison) Decent Audio, outperforms the PS4 (Must greatly outperform the ps4 compared to pricepoint, as I would need to justify almost or double the cost of a PS4).
Liquid cooling is a plus, especially if you can OC it.
oh man a dream case with DVD bay
The sarcasm was amazing Luke!
LinusTechTips Have you tried to see if the SSD mounts will fit 2.5 HDD s. It might be a case I would wanna try out if it works with the hard drives i have lying around. Also, are those LED strips magnetic or held by adhesive?
Excellent review but I definitely agree, a separate section for the power supply and power cables would definitely be appreciated. Still, for its size it's not bad.
Actually the best case around, all of its cons can be discarded considering its modularity and design! Nice video! :D
every time luke starts a video saying "ill be honest" or "lets be honest" take a shot
I haven't seen a modular case that I like yet. Closest one though is Case Labs. Lots of parts but worth the effort at final end of completion.
2:51 how do you remove that panel? Do you just pull it off?
Remove the side panel from the computer and then pinch the tabs that are on the inside so that they release while also pulling/pushing the panel out
Very sexy case. This might be my first buy for a first time PC build
Love your joke on obsolete optical media :D 1:34 - who ever wrote that deserves a good joke cookie!
huh, the "time until interesting stuff" bar in the left corner is good.
this looks like a HUGE case, I probably couldn't use it. i like small cases.
Loved the case but ran into a major issue. The motherboard stand off's were all stripped! Had to replace each one from an older case. That's not an oops one off but might be a production issue among many. May want to examine that first if you bought the case and before full install of the MB.
This case made all the components I put into it modular as well. Best case ever.
Thanks for the inbuilt "time until interesting".
Could you guys show some of the modular features of the case? Thanks for the review!
0:35 "if this doesn't work out, we can sell blueberries"
i loved that little humor spice-up
I have had this case since it came out and I use it left handed / inverted, but it looks awesome
i didn't think i like this case till he said u can reverse everything from the left side to the right HELLS YA so far This case plus the cousair 570x and the mastercase maker5 and 5t are my top 4 cases i love
the "time until interesting stuff" countdown killed me
The Aerocool Dreambox is and always will be the most modular case.
I have one, I built it piece by piece to exactly how I wanted it.
You guys mentioned it on a wan show but never went further than a cliffnote, what gives?
My Antec Lanboy is also much more modular than this case.
Looks like it, have you seen the Dreambox?
probably wasn't sent to them
Aerocool cases are cheap bullshit. Last aerocool i had i i threw it out of the window.
Because if we all judged an entire company by one bad experience just about every company would be a bad one :I, the case is solid though.
I was having a hard time coming up with a way to use my old optical drive, but now I know. Cup holders
Wait, so your telling me this thing isn't SUPPOSED to be a cup holder? Huh, that explains A LOT
and here I am still using physical media for anything I can ;-;
That joke is as old as optical drives. But still funny.
The white wires look sick! What brand are they and where can I get them
This is definitely one of the best cases I've seen, I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
I got mined for 240 bucks, but hey it was worth it; however the power supply slot was a pain to figure out. They do give you some extra screws
1:35 to 1:37 I just can't stop laughing. Nice one and right on point bro!
1:50 - "Hey John, we want you to go chase Colton around with the front of this case and beat him up with it."
And that's how u make case reviews interesting loved all the sarcasms
Reverseable option is huge, I'm locked in as to where I can put my case and have pull all the cables to hoist out the rig just to get at it for cleaning and access. I've been looking for a new case for while and was considering the CM pro5, maybe now, not so much. Had a BQ before, was pretty good at keeping dust out of the system which is another pro for me as I didn't have to pull out for cleaning as often
Anyone else notice the "time until interesting stuff" bar on the bottom left? LOL
Hey Linus, (or Luke) Do you guys ever use EVGA PSU's? Not a big problem but I'm just wondering.
"I'm here to review not judge."
That's why you guys are the best
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a stupid question, but how do you use the Qi charger? I left it plugged in to it's normal hub, but when the PC is powered on, it doesn't charge my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge if you're wondering if my phone supports wireless charging). Am I just stupid or did I get a faulty Qi charger?
How well does the sound dampening really work? Is it noticeably quieter?
Cases need more side panel fans please. Really helps out with keeping video cards cool.
nicest looking case I've seen in a long time.
personally, I like some cables visible in the computer. it makes it feel more alive and working.
Love that "Time Until Interesting Stuff" bar on the bottom left. xD
LOL
+flamefoxbob of Boblandia Yeah, I was also the first like and 5th viewer.
***** xD tbh nothing's stopping you.
The one thing that really bothers me with bequiets cases is that the front fan mounts are on the inside, which means that if you want to put a radiator in the front you pretty much have to have the fans in push instead of pull unless you want a big gap between the rad and the dust filter.
Oh a tech video... it's only 2 am anyway
If it were fully modular it would have allowed for more than two 5.25" drive bays. My file server alone uses nine 5.25" bays. iStarUSA hot swap modules FTW!
I'm glad you came to your senses at 23 seconds.
orange sleeved cables would go great with this case
Thanks Luke
