PC case be quiet Light Base 500 LX White Midi Tower ATX/PS2 PSU support 3x120 mm front 1x120 mm rear supports 2.5/3.5 inch drives 305×436×432 mm

Light Base 500 LX White combines a clean exterior with practical gaming features: accessible layout, targeted cooling and integrated ARGB illumination. The case supports ATX motherboards, radiators up to 360 mm and long graphics cards while offering an organized internal layout with dedicated drive slots and improved cable routing.

Advantages

The angled slide-out fan frame on the side directs additional airflow to the GPU and provides an easy way to install or access fans. Four preinstalled Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM fans with 16 LEDs in each hub deliver strong airflow and ARGB lighting, while reversed blades keep the illuminated side visible. The lowered fan bay allows optional bottom fans to align with the case floor. Two PSU positions enable full support for backside connector motherboard designs without sacrificing drive capacity. Built-in dust filters and clear cable channels simplify maintenance and cable management.

How to use

Install the motherboard according to its form factor and choose one of the two PSU positions depending on whether you need backside connector access. Slide out the angled side fan frame to mount or replace fans easily and to ensure the fan cutout aligns with the GPU area for improved airflow. Connect the preinstalled fans to the integrated 6-way ARGB & PWM hub and use the I/O ARGB button to select predefined lighting effects. Place additional bottom fans in the lowered bay so they align with the case floor and route cables through the provided channels for neat cable management.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, use a 360 mm radiator in the front and maintain at least one exhaust fan at the rear. When installing backside connector motherboards, confirm the chosen PSU position before mounting the drive bracket. Regularly clean the side and bottom dust filters to preserve airflow and system temperatures.
