Quick Specs

Elevated Elegance Meets Cooling Performance

The Light Base 500 LX White features an angled side fan frame that not only adds a distinctive aesthetic but also directs more airflow toward the GPU—a component that traditionally runs hot. The side panel slides out for easy fan installation, and a dedicated cable channel keeps wiring tidy and out of sight. If you add extra fans to the bottom, they align perfectly with the case floor thanks to a lowered fan bay, ensuring optimal airflow without obstruction.

4 Preinstalled Light Wings LX Fans

This case comes with four preinstalled Light Wings LX fans: one rear 120mm fan and three side-mounted fans with reversed blades for continuous ARGB visibility. Each fan contains 16 LEDs in the impeller hub, delivering vibrant, customizable lighting. The rear and side fans connect via a 6-way ARGB and PWM hub, leaving four additional connectors free for future upgrades.

Spacious Interior for High-End Builds

Despite its compact footprint, the Light Base 500 LX White supports a 360mm top radiator, ATX motherboards, and graphics cards up to 40 cm long. The drive bracket is intelligently designed to hold one 3.5″ HDD and two 2.5″ SSDs without blocking cable management channels behind the motherboard tray. This thoughtful layout maximises both storage and airflow.

Backside Connector Ready

The motherboard tray fully supports backside connector designs like Asus BTF, MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Project Stealth, offering a clean, cable-free front view. To accommodate this without sacrificing a drive slot, the PSU and drive bracket positions are swapped—an innovative solution that maintains both functionality and aesthetics.
