Today's video continues our featured build series and this time around it's sponsored by be quiet! and the Dark Base Pro 901. I reviewed this case in black at launch, but today’s build is using the white version of the Dark Base Pro 901 as well as be quiet!'s brand new Silent Wings Pro 4 white fans and the latest Dark Power 13 power supply. So let's see what we can conjure up with all this gear!
