Product details
Light Base 500 LX Black stands for a clear design and the core values of gaming: performance, easy accessibility and functionality.
The angled fan frame on the side not only demonstrates elegance and functionality, but also directs more air to the GPU - a component that usually requires a lot of air. The case therefore has a triangular cut-out that serves as an efficient air intake. The frame can also be pulled out upwards for easy installation of fans. Cable management is easier than ever thanks to a channel that elegantly conceals everything. If additional fans are installed in the lower area, they fit perfectly into the base of the case thanks to a lowered fan compartment.
Light Base 500 LX Black has 4 pre-installed Light Wings LX fans. The rear fan is a Light Wings LX 120mm PWM, the fans on the side are Light Wings LX 120mm PWM fans with inverted fan blades. All fans have 16 LEDs in the hub of the impeller, which provide an unmistakable ARGB illumination. The inverted fan blades ensure that their beautiful side is visible at all times.
The Light Base 500 LX Black may appear compact, but it offers enough space for a 360 mm radiator, an ATX mainboard and graphics cards up to 400 mm in length. The clever design of the drive bracket provides slots for 1 HDD and 2 SSDs simultaneously without obstructing the space for cable management behind the motherboard tray.
The motherboard tray supports all backside connector designs such as Asus BTF (Back to Future), MSI Project Zero and Gigabyte Project Stealth, allowing an unobstructed view without cables. To enable the support of connections on the rear without giving up a drive bay, the positions of the power supply unit and the drive bracket are simply swapped.
