White ATX case with angled side airflow

The be quiet! Light Base 500 LX White supports ATX, M-ATX and Mini-ATX motherboards in a steel chassis wrapped by two tempered-glass panels. Four pre-installed Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM fans provide immediate airflow and ARGB illumination. An angled slide-out frame on the side panel routes air straight to the graphics card, while a lowered fan bay aligns extra fans flush with the case floor.

Dual PSU mounting and broad radiator support

Two power-supply positions accommodate backside-connector motherboards without re-routing cables. The top panel accepts radiators up to 360 mm, the side takes up to 240 mm and the rear fits a 120 mm unit. Dust filters on the bottom and side panels catch intake debris before it reaches components.

Drive space and cooling headroom

One 3.5 inch bay and two 2.5 inch bays handle primary storage and SSDs. The interior fits up to ten 120 mm fans in total, giving ample headroom for high-wattage air or liquid cooling. When every mount is populated the case reaches its airflow limit, so builders chasing extreme overclocks may need additional external cooling.
