Product Showcase

You can mount very lengthy power supplies in the chassis, so that won't be an issue. The PSU will sit on four rubberized pads, to ensure that no vibrations / noise passes on to the Dark Base 900 frame. The power supply is mounted to a bracket internally, I am not a fan of the design tbh. Mounting the unit is a bit annoying and I just do not see the added value and / or benefit of the PSU being further inwards inside the chassis. My best guess is that it is by design to ensure even lower resonating noises. Also, I find the PSU cabling becomes really obvious, as stated previously I really would have liked to see some sort of cover as, with that huge glass side-panel, everything is exposed and visible.
  

So, here we have that tempered glass side panel, I wanted to show you that with some additional photos. As you can see, the color coating is not black, but a little bit brownish. Now, the photo does make it look worse than it really is. Overall, once mounted shut, you can hardly see that color. And in a dimmed room it actually works really well. I'll show you that in the photo shoot of the build later on. 
 

The feet are rubberized giving more grip to the surface and again preventing resonating noises escaping from the PC. The tempered glass is mounted onto rubberized risers and then secured with four screws. There's enough clearance on the glass so there aren't any tension issues or anything.

 
In the above photo we have removed the backside panel, rubber grommet inserts line the holes for cable management, the CPU motherboard cutout plate and an extra SSD mounts reveal themselves as well as the FAN and LED lighting HUB.
  

 
SSD wise you take out a back-plate with a thumbscrew like so. Then screw the SSD to the back-plate, and reinsert it and re-secure the unit with the thumbscrew. We'll talk about that PCB slash controller  more in-depth on the next page.
  

One last note, look to the left and you can see the individual HDD cages, each secured with three thumb screws, Easy to remove and install individually. Alternatively if you'd only use the backside SSD slot you could remove the entire tray system all together, all part of a modular design.
