Light Base 500 Black ATX case

The Light Base 500 Black is a mid-tower chassis that accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards including backside-connector designs. It ships with four pre-installed Pure Wings 3 120 mm PWM fans and two tempered-glass side panels for a clean, RGB-free look. Dust filters on the bottom and side help keep internals tidy.

GPU-focused builders and silent-PC fans

The angled slide-out side fan frame feeds cool air straight to the graphics card, while the lowered fan bay aligns extra fans with the case floor for consistent flow. Two PSU mounting positions give flexibility for BTF motherboards. Users who need extensive 3.5-inch drive arrays or integrated RGB lighting should consider other models.

360 mm radiator headroom and dual drive tiers

The interior fits radiators up to 360 mm at the top plus 240 mm on the side, leaving room for an ATX board and two 3.5-inch drives alongside two 2.5-inch units. Ten total 120 mm fan mounts provide ample scaling for custom loops, though the side panel limits radiator thickness to 120 mm when fully populated.

Questions about this item

Does the case come with fans already installed or do I need to supply my own?

Four Pure Wings 3 120 mm PWM fans are pre-installed — one at the rear and three on the angled slide-out side frame — so the case is ready for airflow out of the box.

Will my existing ATX motherboard and 3.5-inch hard drives fit without modification?

The interior supports ATX, M-ATX and Mini-ITX boards plus two 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch drives simultaneously, so current components drop straight in.

How can I verify the side fan frame is positioned correctly for GPU cooling after assembly?

The angled frame slides out toward the top; when fully seated it lines up with the case floor and directs intake air straight toward the graphics card.
