Intel High-End Gaming PC Build : Case
While all of the components we are selecting here today are what we would go with, and priced from vendors we trust, it is always a good idea to shop around as deals on these, or other good options, pop up from other reliable vendors all the time. With that said, let’s dive right into the next order of business.

In our previous build guides, we have enjoyed the flame fest that has arisen from the choice of cases. So, today, we go back to the well one more time to see if we can build a consensus about a chassis. Remember, this is a higher-end build today so our case selection is far wider open than it has been before. Thus, we have gone with the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Silver rev. 2.
The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Silver rev. 2 is our choice today because it is an amazing chassis in so many different ways. From the size making it easy to work in, to its incredible flexibility, to its attention to the slightest details, to the absolute dedication to noise reduction the Dark Base Pro 900 Silver rev. 2 is a high-quality case for a high-end build like ours.
Realistically, the Dark Base Pro 900 Silver rev. 2 has few downsides and most of them revolve around the price. It is hard to miss that this unit is coming in at a price point of $269.99. Where this complaint gains a bit of traction is that this unit is just a slight revision to its predecessor so it has been around for a while and the competition is catching up to it (or surpassing it) in many ways. However, one way they are not, generally speaking, is acoustics and, for a lot of people out there, this simple fact will carry the day. So, even that $269.99 price point is not as big of a downside as it initially looks to be and the Dark Base Pro 900 Silver rev. 2 is an easy pick for this guide (even if some of you will continue to disagree with the looks and my sanity).
