Given the limited front air intake, a third fan included would have been nice, to maximise airflow
It would have been very easy (and widely accepted) for bequiet! to simply take the already excellent Dark Base 900, and create a slightly scaled down, mid-tower version, and present the 700 series to the world. What they have done though is take all that...

This is a very strong showing from Be Quiet! Merging modern features like USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, the possibility for vertical GPU mounting, and RGB lighting with a design that's both user-friendly and very flexible, the Dark Base 700 is testament to the G...

be quiet! may be a relative newcomer to PC enclosures, yet it has quickly hit its stride. The German manufacturer's latest release, the Dark Base 700, is not only be quiet!'s most exciting chassis to date, it is also one of the most versatile mid-tower so...

PriceThe be quiet! Dark Base 700 launches today and should be hitting the major retailers right now. the 700 is one of be quiet!'s pedigree products, so it's a bit more expensive, with an MSRP of €189 / £174.90 / $179.90. Of course, you've seen the qualit...

Following in the footsteps of the previously released Dark Base 900/Pro, the Dark Base 700 is clearly an extension of this chassis, albeit in a smaller enclosure. While DB 700 does adopt some features, it also introduces a wave of new and innovative optio...

With many manufacturers today shipping midi towers with tempered glass as their weapon of choice for all panels the Dark Base 700 may not be as unique looking but for many people that's not a bad thing. Sure if you're a gamer chances are that y...

USB Type C connector in I/O looks like a last minute addition due to square cutout, Only three 3.5" hard-drive cages included, Plastic HDD cage covers/cable routing not for everyone, Velcro strips are quite long
