Front cover replacement for be quiet! Dark Base 900 Pro (Airflow optimized)

thingiverse

This is a front cover replacement for the be quiet! Dark Base 900 Pro (compatible with Rev1 & Rev2). It is optimized for better airflow since the original is not that good when it comes to airflow. NOTE: This front cover can not be opened like the original door, since this part just clips in place and does not use the hinges. But you can easily take off the top part to access the CD tray or other things inside. I might add another version with a working hinge mechanism, but for people who do not need to open the front this will be good enough. ## Installation Unscrew the original door from its hinges and then just clip the parts in place. ## Why the remix? The idea of the original is not bad, but the hexagon pattern is asymmetrical and the holes are too big for me. It just does not look good. Therefore, I have created a new hexagon pattern which is symmetrical and consists of smaller holes (which also contributes to a better airflow). I also engraved the be quiet! logo at the bottom so it looks more like the original (but I also included a version without the logo). I did some other minor improvements as well. Just to make it clear, this is not an original part from be quiet! and I hope be quiet! don't mind that I put their logo on it. This is just a non-profit fan project for hobbyists. I mean if they would offer a solution for better airflow I would buy it.
