Be Quiet 'BlueBase' 900

[steverebo]

Finally finished my latest build using the be quiet dark base 900. I loved the simplistic look of this case and the idea of inverting the motherboard. I started the project with the intention of going inverted but ran into a few problems.

When inverting the motherboard you need to drop the motherboard down to its lowest level in order to accommodate a decent thickness radiator but due to the motherboard heatsink and I/O shield you can't as it hits the power supply. Due to the mounting issues I had to go with standard orientation. I stripped the internals bare and used some trusty 3mm acrylic to neaten it up.

Specs are:
Dark base 900 black with tempered glass window
Asus maximum IX Hero
I7 7700k clocked at 5.1ghz @1.36v
Corsair dominator platinum 3200 16gb with light bars
Gigabyte Auros extreme GTX 1080ti @ 2080 core 12000 memory
Samsung 960 evo 500gb
Samsung 850 evo 500gb
Soundblaster Z
Corsair hx750i

Watercooling:
EK supremacy Elite nickel waterblock
EK DDC PEN Elite 3.2 pump and 250 res combo
EK XE 360
EK CE 280
EK Auros full cover nickel plexi 1080ti block
EK nickel 12mm OD fittings
Corsair ML120 pro fans with blue corners

Looking good mate. Haven't seen that many Dark Base 900 cases used in that configuration.

lol the pic needs a 90degree rotation folks think you have it sideways. But if y'all look closely what you think is the carpet is wallpaper its sitting on a desk

LOL! I totally missed that, as I'm betting others did! Or so I hope! Good eye! Sweet looking build too. Some of those tubes look painful. I wouldn't even attempt those bends.

and i thought he was just being different , but seriously very nice build , what do you think of the case as i really like the white version

Lol can't niece people thought it was mounted sideways. The images are orientated perfectly till I upload them and no matter what I do they upload sideways.

It's a really nice case to build in the removable motherboard tray is so handy have not had one of them since my stacked 830.

Try using imgur instead for hosting.

The answer is right within Windows. You don't need anything. You just open them with Image Preview or whatever they call it now, hit the rotate button, wait a second and it will save the image.

Sorted used imgur to host the images. I used to use photobucket but then that went to poo overnight.

Thanks for all the help guy's
