Hey guys, does anyone have  any info about the dark base 700? I want to know if I should get it or not because i don't want to wait if it isn't anything special.

The dark base 900 is my favourite case, but the lack of PSU shroud means I won't touch it. Do we know if the dark base 700 will have the QI charger for example?

It's not anything special, it's designed to be a competitor to the S340/P400 from the looks of it. A case like that will not have any outstanding features, though it does look like it might support Vertical GPU orientations, thats not recommended if you're not water cooling the GPU, as it will get super hot

I'm mostly interested in the Chi charging, I love that feature in the dark base 900. As well as the sound dampening foam, integrated be quiet fans etc

DB900 is the only case that has it, and as far as I know the only one that will. Like the HDMI out on the S340 elite, it will be one of those "stand out features" that wont be replicated anytime soon by other manufactures, as there just isnt a widespread demand for it (VR headsets, or Qi charging integrated with a case)
