Last year it was the main trend in the world of computer cases: tempered glass side panels. Right now on multiple sides as well, or even a nearly completely glass case. We compare twelve models we tested.We at Hardware.Info always say: there is no account...
Most will agree that a tempered glass side panel looks a lot better on a case than a perspex window. It is an elegant way to show off your configuration, especially in combination with led-lighting. Considering that it is usually relatively dark glass, it...

What I'll do though is highlight some of the main features. Probably the most important feature of this case is its water cooling support and its modular design, with support for up to four radiators and sizes up to 420mm, with additional support for up...

What does a modular case actually look like? What does modular actually mean when it comes to PC cases anyway? These questions are what Be Quiet! was looking to answer with the Dark Base Pro 900, the company's most ambitious and most expensive case so far...
The Dark Base Pro 900 touches on practically every conceivable topic we'd normally discuss in a conclusion with a premium case, and this can make for a tricky decision both in terms of a recommendation and for the end user. It's expensive enough to compet...

The headline figures about this case centre around the support for some enormous radiators. As we demonstrate in our video you can simultaneously install a 360mm radiator in the roof and a 420mm radiator in the front, albeit after you remove the optical d...
+Very quiet, Motherboard tray has three height settings, Can accommodate 420mm radiators at the top and front, 4mm tempered glass side panel is superb, Three 140mm Silent Wings 3 fans with 6 pole motors, Huge number of drive bays, Fully filtered, LED/-Aluminium finish is a magnet for finger prints, No power supply cover, Cable management isn't great, User manual requires some work, Installing the PSU is a little awkward, Qi charger is fiddly to engageWhen be quiet! told us its new Dark Base Pro 900 case was larger than the previous 600 and 800 models, just as the numbers suggest, we felt this was a bold move as the trend is towards smaller PCs. Our feelings changed when we saw the specification and li...
