A Solid Choice!
Pros: - very solid building material - many configuration options without getting gimmicky - the best removable motherboard tray setup I've seen, by far! - quiet - attractive - despite the many build options, easy to set up - lots of USB ports - nice, subtle RGB lighting - comes with three Be Quiet fans (my favorites!) - lots of room to build in! - generous toolbox Cons: - very heavy due to solid building materials - I would have liked to see the PSU shroud perforated to improve bottom airflow - the GPU stand was not even close to being tall enough to support my GPU (a 2.5 slot card)! - Can't quite do a dual GPU build; would be nice if an extra slot distance above PSU shroud (or perforated) - price is high but appropriate for quality - manual could have had crisper pictures Summary: One of my favorite cases that was just plain fun and simple to build in. Or better yet, do most of your build outside of the case due to the great removable motherboard tray. You'll build muscles moving it around, but all that material keeps things quiet. It's a real looker too. The main downside was that the bottom airflow could be better.

Solid High Quality and Well Engineered Full Tower Case 901 Pro - White
I just received the new be Quiet! 901 Pro Computer case in all white from Amazon. The Corrugated box arrived in perfect condition, as did the Computer case inside. Unboxing was just like the on-line videos, and everything that was supposed to come with the case was delivered. My initial impressions of the case are that there was a lot of thought and real quality put into the design and manufacturing. The fit and the finish of this case is outstanding. Very well built and robust, and no rough edges, no bad paint, and a ton of options to configure this full tower case the way you want it. Yes, I like having the Optical Drive bay, and I will use it. The case is heavy, but that is due to having a very solid build with thick steel, and thick tempered glass side panel. Even all the wiring from the front panel is white in color. The case is easy to dis-assemble, and none of the thumb screws or phillips screws were jammed in tight, where you strip the heads of the screws to loosen the screw. I think this is one of the few modern cases with a removable motherboard tray. That is a very nice feature when you are assembling your build. Yes, some may think the cost of this case is a bit steep, but for all that you are getting, I really think this case represents real value, and something one can work with and or change for a good many years. This one is a winner. Very glad I purchased this. Addendum: I will add that this case was a pleasure to build my new rig in. There is plenty of space for EATX Motherboards, large Video cards, and ample places for additional drives if you need them. Cable management is fairly easy with a large area in the back of the case. I went with the new DT Phanteks fans, and a 360 water cooling radiator in the front. I am using BIOS for the fan control, but nice to have the option of the case fan speed too. Very happy with this build and the new case to contain it all. Cheers!

There so much this case can do and it was a really good sale, even at the msrp its sill recommended.
I went with this case because it was my 2nd chose after a phantex full tower that wasn't in-stock anywhere. This is a premium case that has 0 sharp edges. Easy and roomy to build in. Lots of cable hooks and shelves to put cables in. I hate RGB but the default yellow is the best of all the colors + there in no rainbow puke like every other RGB component is before settings kick in. This was the only case in 20+ builds I have done for the past 27 years that the mother board and IO lined up over the stand offs with out having to squeeze it to the left. You can take the front off and the front IO stays on. There is lots of USB ports in the front. The top panel release spring only lifts up the front of the top a little and you have to dig to pop out the rest. The top bracket for rad or fans comes out for easy installation and the fan hub is on the bracket (like the front fan hub). All the cables related to the case reached exactly to the MB with out needing to even untie anything. A few oddities and negativeness: 1. The back fan has really only 2 places for it directly to MB or to the top fan hub. If you use the top fan hub it can't detach and since it just has 3 slots it should really be used for the 3 top fans if your not going to put a rad up. 2. Touch controls don't respond very well. They have a weird delay or take like 5 press to work. 3. Like all cases that have a big mettle cable management bar in the middle of the case. It needs to be removed to fit GPU and plug in cables. The rubber with slits are all ways better then then this style. 4. The only unmarked cable is clearly the fan hub PWM but for some reason it doesn't show up in bios to control the case fans. Lucky its supper quiet and their pushing lot of air. 5. All the marketing and descriptions (website, amazon, newaag..) of the case fans are wrong these don't use silent wing 4 fans but they use silent wing 4 High Speed fans. 1300RPM max vs 1900RPM on the HS. Also the black spacers are need because the fan rail blocks the edge of the larger 140 fans. The oval pattern for the screws doesn't allow for 3 140s and room to use the bottom OD bay. They only line up if you leave a small gap at the top or center of the rail then it forces the bottom fan over top of horizontal bar at the bottom. The GPU sag bracket is oddly designed. None of the adjustment in height from the rubber top to the center bar ever fit my 3 slot 5080 PNY. I ended up just taking the top part out. Also there is no need to route the cable in side because it will bend to much and that not good with all the 12P plug problems. The side drive bay covers were a miss opportunity to use them as 2.5 SSD holders like the phantex cases. Manuel is kind of useless to many pictures and not enough words. There so much this case can do and it was a really good sale, even at the msrp of 290 its sill recommended.

I saw this online while searching for a case for a new build, it looked incredible. I watched quite a few YouTube video reviews of it before deciding to buy it. It's a massive case, the sheer adaptability and configuration options it gives you so that you can tailor your case to match your system build with a case like this is outstanding. I like the fact that it can be virtually stripped to the base supports, and it's still as solid as a rock. The only downside some may have, is it's weight, it is a very heavy case. It's rigidity and stability, despite it's fully modular ability is the trade off for the weight I guess. One of the best features for me is the removable nature of the motherboard mounting tray, so that you can run a pre-build test of the components. At the very least, you build some of it with the motherboard tray on the table, and not have to worry about cramped conditions trying to fiddle with difficult parts to fit together. I used to build PC's in a previous job, and the sheer volume of scratches and cuts I'd come home with every day, this case is worth every penny just for that alone. After reading some reports on noise, it's so quite in comparison to my previous case. While running intensive processes, the 9 fans I have in my system will kick in to cool everything back down, you can hear that a little. Only once the system goes into full power mode does it get a little on the noisy side, and I am using the full airflow configuration. I opted to use optimal airflow over silent running. Anything I leave near the side, or front of the case gets chilled down so quickly. Excellent quality cooling. For sheer modularity, adaptability, ease of use, and quality makes this case a solid investment.

i undid the screws for the cabinet and the glass door came out. It then "fell" 2cm to the floor and shattered like it was thrown from my roof. I never saw anything like it. What a horrible design. The glass is NOT inside the bezel, its the same size. so this is just an accident that WILL happen eventually. Sidenote: after writing this review i looked online and found a lot of people complaining about this exact problem. Do not buy it before looking into this issue!

Vraiment très satisfait de ce boitier, il est magnifique sobre silencieux et pratique seul petit bémol, la fixation de l'alimentation qui n'est pas génial, ce n'est vraiment pas grand chose. il faut bricoler un peu

En possession du boîtier depuis un bon mois, presque rien à redire. Le niveau d'équipement est énorme. Hub fans / rgb, support usb 3.1 et usb type c sur le front panel, possibilité de positionner la cg à la vertical, possibilité de passer le boitier au format b-tx, 2 silent wings 3 140 fournis par défaut, reobus sur le front panel, filtres anti poussière, cache alimentation, mousse insonorisante, etc... Esthétiquement, un sans faute. Le boitier est sobre tout en ayant un petit côté "m'as tu vu" avec les 2 bandes rgb en face avant. Le verre trempé et l'utilisation d'alu brossé sur tout le boitier fini par bien nous achever. L'espace interne est grand et vous ne serez pas limité par une grande carte graphique. Attention cependant, il n'est plus possible d'installer un lecteur dvd. Ses 3 seuls défauts, pour ma part: - Un troisième ventilateur serait le bienvenue - presque impossible d'installer 3 ventilateurs 140 en facade (il ne manque pas grand chose pourtant) - les vis pour fermer le boitier mériteraient un pas de vis plus large. Bref, excellent boîtier qui vaut son prix.
