White Full Tower for Airflow Builds

The be quiet! BGW59 Dark Base 701 is a white ATX full tower case with an open mesh front and top panel designed for maximum airflow. It supports E-ATX motherboards up to 30.5 by 27.5 centimetres, ATX, M-ATX and Mini-ITX. Three Silent Wings 4 140 millimetre PWM high-speed fans are pre-installed at the front, top and rear, each spinning at 1900 RPM. A tempered glass side panel shows the interior ARGB lighting.

Tool-less Drive Mounts and Removable Brackets

Drive installation is tool-less for both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch bays, with up to five 2.5 inch and three 3.5 inch positions available. The front and top radiator brackets are removable, simplifying fan or radiator mounting before the hardware is placed inside. A PWM and ARGB hub supports up to eight PWM fans and two ARGB components, while a front panel controller offers three-step fan speed and ARGB mode selection. The motherboard tray can be inverted for alternative layouts.

Check GPU Length and CPU Cooler Height

Before ordering, verify that your graphics card does not exceed 430 millimetres in length and that your CPU cooler is no taller than 185 millimetres. The power supply compartment accepts units up to 250 millimetres long. Front and top radiator support includes 120, 140, 240, 280 and 360 millimetre sizes; the rear supports 120 millimetres only. Front I/O provides one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, audio jacks and the fan and ARGB controllers.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the three pre-installed Silent Wings 4 fans are running correctly after building in the BGW59?

Connect the PWM hub to a motherboard header, power on, and verify each 140 mm fan spins; use the case's 3-step fan controller or BIOS to adjust speed and listen for smooth operation.

What does the Dark Base 701 box contain and which major parts must I purchase separately for a complete build?

The case includes three 140 mm Silent Wings 4 fans, a PWM and ARGB hub, tempered glass side panel, dust filters, and drive trays for two 3.5" and three 2.5" drives; you must add a power supply, motherboard, CPU cooler, graphics card, storage, and memory.

Which version of the Dark Base 701 should I choose if I need maximum radiator support and GPU clearance?

This BGW59 white model supports front and top radiators up to 360 mm, a rear 120 mm radiator, graphics cards up to 430 mm long, and CPU coolers up to 185 mm tall, fitting E-ATX boards up to 30.5 x 27.5 cm.
