thanks to candid a GTX 1080 will be given away and that giveaway and it ends I think December 18th see this video right here if you haven't already it's not too late to join sign up for that one it's not very difficult to sign up either if you hear that that was my shoulder and now for the meat of this video I'll be introducing you to a very awesome case in a vlog style format you've probably seen the case before but maybe not like this so I do hope you enjoy well this is my room for what used to be my room hence the very cheesy wallpaper if you've been around for a while you know this is where I used to film all my videos but if you're new to the channel yep I have the cheesy wallpaper just kind of all over the place you can see that's my storage facility over there all the boxes the studio lights my bed which is not made Jay Jay doing his thing and yeah just kind of make and do with the space I have I have a very unorthodox computer desk it's actually a dresser that I turned into a makeshift computer desk of sorts I think I did a clever little thing here with the keyboard kind of inland one of the drawers the mouse kind of sucks where it is it's not ideal but it's all the space I have it's it's decent I can I can get by with it for about a month don't worry we'll be back in the old studio and all around January 9th or so so the video is going to be about the be quiet dark Bass Pro 900 this is a very large case I want to show you what it looked like well what the Box looked like just because this is very large and put it next to something like a genome that's actually a large case on its own it's still nothing compared to the dark based Pro 900 and the s 340 elite just looks so small in comparison that's the one I'm sporting right now for Heisenberg we're going to take all of that inside there and throw it into there so time lapse here we go okay right off the bat I just want to give you my first impressions of this case just how beautiful it is it's a very large case you have plenty of room in here like I said I wouldn't expect anything other than ATX full-size ATX or even extended ATX in a case like this it's all supported I didn't know that this was a tempered glass panel but it is and it looks like let's see here well these are user on there these are thumb screws although these are fairly tight I can't use my thumb's to remove them now we get a Qi charger up top just like brushed aluminum it doesn't feel cheap at all lots of air vents all over the place check this out this cool door here just clicks right open and you're greeted with looks like silent wings three wouldn't be surprised it looks like silent wings three fans here these look like 140s and look like we had a third one in the back and the door itself is of course soundproofed this is coming from a company called be quiet so I honestly expect nothing less something else I want to point out the screws are already embedded in the case that's a great thing that's just like the s340 elite I love it when tempered glass panels are fixed that way on a case and not the other way around where you have to insert the screw after you try to align as best you can a tempered glass to the holes in the case so another good thought on their part and let's see I'm gonna head and remove this and we had an idea just how much a real estate we have on the inside here well if you were worried about how many hard drives you're going to fit in your case check this out one two three four five six seven native just like the reminds me of the NZXT h 440 so plenty of storage expandability in there and all of this is removable so this is a very modular case as you'll see here shortly we're going to take a lot of this out just for that bare-bones look for Heisenberg Oh check this out you get LED strips in the case I had no idea that it came with something that's actually kind of cool I get to say the ones I already had planned for this one and just use these instead oh yeah now that is what I'm talking about check that out rigid RGB strips that is pretty dope hey there's the little man and my baby princess nesting on okay come on mommy come on I promised some pom pom footage so I'm trying my best here but they're not they're not willing contestants okay so here is the bill that should probably zoom out just a little bit this is the dark Bass Pro 900 obviously and you can see that there's way more space than I typically need I you know I only have one hard drive in here and the solid-state drive is behind the motherboard there what are you doing hey hey get that out of your mouth that's my microphone which I probably should be using right now just gonna use the camera's microphone for now what are you doing anyway I thought it was really cool that they included there's some other things that are necessary but that make the case look even better than it already does so the LED strip up top I installed the hue plus so we have you know the three AER fans one thing I do want to mention I do have two silent wink threes up top above the radiator it's a weird config only because I wanted to have the LED showing whoo excuse me excuse me so I had to arrange these to where they were exhausting out the front as well as the back and then I oriented the fans on top which are two silent wink threes from be quiet coming in basically pulling in air from the top so it's really weird design I don't recommend it honestly it's probably not going to stay this way for long but just for aesthetic purposes I think it looks the best as it is the cool thing about the LED strip that they included up top if you open this panel here which is you know just a simple little click I didn't install the little drive covers here but I'll do that shortly there's a little button now you can't see it because it's really dark there's a button here you can push and it changes the tone of the LED that's connected to the fan hub at the back of the case the fan hub is also integrated comes with the case and you can wire your LED strip directly into that fan hub for basically full control via the case itself you can also control fan speed with this little dial here so I'll show you here the fans ramp up so that right there is full speed and then you can turn them back down and it's just a little dial here so I gotta do is just push it back this way and they settle back down again I haven't tested sound yet how loud everything is while in the case although I expected should pass with flying colors these ier fans are noticeably louder than the silent wings three I have three of these in here whereas with my s340 elite which I tested a bit earlier I didn't have any of these in there only had one stock fan and then three sound one threes so these fans are louder the case is already at a disadvantage but I expected this cases just going to do a heck of a job at suppressing that noise so here we go now a few things that I want to be picky about that I experienced when building in this case you think that there would be tons of room for cable management and the like but there really wasn't I actually found that there was more cable management headway in the s340 believe it or not I know that sounds hard to believe but I think that a big reason for why that's the case is because all of these hard drive trades are pre-installed don't have that they don't come with covers so once you remove the the bay you you don't have anything blocking this so it would look really just terrible to have cables kind of just weaving in and out of here and that is where a good amount of my cables typically end up and I'm running along the side here and you can see it's it's pushed in a little bit this is recessed here so there's not a lot of space between the back panel and the motherboard tray and that kind of that caused problems when it came to you can see down there the bottom just a lot of the cables got bunched up it was very difficult putting the back panel on that's a good sign of poor cable management I think another reason why it was rather difficult to cable managed in this case is because the case itself doesn't include a basement they do that on purpose because they want to make space obviously for all these hard drive trays and if you want to throw a custom loop in here you will have plenty of space to do that you probably fit two reservoirs comfortably and just a full-on loop through everything but I don't have that yet and most of my stuff you know fits perfectly into a mid-size mid-sized Tower so this is super overkill for what I have this just goes to show you how much space you do have at your disposal but do keep in mind it will be difficult to cable manage and you don't have a basement to cover any of that ugly management up so it's all going to be pretty much showing you can see I have a mess back there that's just what you get when you opt for a case that doesn't have a basement and these are our custom sleeve cables too so these aren't extensions these they're oh these are almost measured out perfectly there's a you know a few different strands of SATA cables back there that are kind of bunched up but everything else including the 24 pin and even the CPU eight pin up there are all measured out pretty close to the length of this case so there's not much slack there if I was using extensions I imagine this would have been even more difficult to build and you see they're just some weird designs I mean I don't know what the purpose of this is right here to recess the power supply from the back of the case you're looking right now at what I was having to do to secure this to the little bracket sticking out here I had to undo these screws and pull off these panels in order to screw the motherboard into the bracket from the back that's the only way to do it is coming in from the from the rear so it's just a weird design I don't know why they recessed it I have no idea what the intention was what the purpose was behind that but it's it's like that you still have plenty of space for you know a very extended power supplies if there was a basement here you could just bunch up all your cables here but you know it's just some some weird things I don't I don't know what that's for maybe somebody does in the comments I'm sure there's a reason I just I am not seeing it right now in terms of mounting capabilities we have a 280 millimeter radiator appears to crack an X 62 C it comes to about here so we could probably go I think a full 420 would fit in this case you'd be cutting it very close I might not opt for a 420 I think a 360 would be the furthest I would go but you you have that option there and in the front you have another it looks like if I want to say 280 280 millimeter mount because II these are 2 140 fans so you have a little bit more space up top but I'd say at 280 s about as far as you want to go there and then you also have a 140 millimeter mount in the back so that that's just testament to how wide the case is most cases only have a 120 here and as I said earlier you do have two five and a quarter inch drive bays so if you're a fan of CD drives you have an option for two of those up top maybe something else like a fan controller you know plenty of room up there pretty much anything that you would want to throw in a computer this case supports the case is also raised by about an inch off of the desk thanks to its integrated feet these are very sturdy and they're pretty much mounted to the bottom of the case itself and then you do have about an inch worth of breathing room if you want to put fans on the bottom or something else along those lines you can actually squeeze a fan underneath this tray and maybe put something like a radiator on top and you do have plenty of space for that air to flow out of the case through the sides here on the bottom and then same goes for the top I have to silent wing 3 140 millimeter fans pulling in air from the top and then the radiator mounted underneath that so you can definitely fit fans in this space here there's about an inch and a half worth of space up top as well as in the bottom not as much space it looks like in the bottom but most people don't put stuff down there anyway but you do have that access up top pretty much run it all the way across except for when you get to the Qi charger if your phone supports wireless charging you can use the built-in charger it's all wired directly into the fan hub the fan hub pretty much controls everything in the back of the case everything up front speaking of which IO ports you have 2 USB 3.0 ports microphone jack headphone jack power button very large very sturdy like that a reset switch hard drive notification LED and then 2 USB 2.0 ports it's just there's just a lot of space in your folks there's so much that you can do with this case it honestly looks bare-bones right now because I don't have a lot of stuff to fill to fill it up with I don't have seven hard drives or a custom water loop but pretty much anything that you want to do with this case you can do and I can't reiterate that enough that's what full-size towers are for it's why I don't personally use them but this just goes to show you you know we have plenty space to work with so those are my raw impressions of the dark base Pro 900 not honestly a case that I would personally go after it's not my style I'm more of an NZXT s340 kind of guy also p400 from fantex course they're 400 see those kinds of cases are more my alley I'm willing to compromise on available space for the sake of just having a more compact look but if you're the kind of guy or gal who likes the hard drive space or need space for custom water loop or likes adding all the extra fans radiator support the extra space between a graphics card and the front panel all of that is available in the dark base Pro 900 I have links to the case in this video's description check those out down below leave a comment suggestion or question in the comment section if you have one of those be sure to give this video a thumbs up if you thought it was cool give it a dislike if you feel the complete opposite or if you hate everything about life click the subscribe button if you haven't already stay tuned for battle of the beasts I finally have something to pit against the cryo rig r1 and that this megalith from be quiet is a 250 watt whoops I click something a 250 watt TDP cooler for reference an air cooler capable of 250 watts of thermal dissipation that is insane and we're going to pick both of these also against the captain 240 X which is a 240 millimeter all on one radiator combo in the rig behind me stay tuned for that it's going to be an awesome video I can't wait to get started this is Salazar studio thanks for learning with us Oh
