help be quiet! Dark Base 700 FAQ
Can the be quiet! Dark Base 700 reverse its motherboard layout?
Yes, its removable motherboard tray supports an inverted layout, allowing the main components to face the opposite side. The conversion requires rebuilding much of the interior rather than flipping a single switch.
How many fans come with the Dark Base 700?
The case includes two 140 mm Silent Wings 3 fans, one at the front and one at the rear. Its integrated fan controller can manage additional cooling without requiring a separate basic hub.

It includes addressable RGB strips along the front exterior while retaining a restrained black design. The tempered-glass side panel displays internal lighting, but the case is not covered in illuminated fans by default.
