Verdict
be quiet! Light Base 900
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A great full-tower for anyone who wants Dark Base Pro-level capacity with a brighter, glass-forward look at a lower price.
Fractal Design North
9 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely furniture-like ATX case that still cools and runs quietly, limited only by a 355mm GPU ceiling that flagship cards approach.
