Elevated Elegance Meets Cooling Efficiency

The angled fan frame on the side panel isn’t just for show—it channels more airflow directly towards your GPU, which is often the hottest component in your system. This cutout doubles as an efficient air intake, while also allowing easy fan installation by sliding out to the top. Cable management is simplified with a dedicated channel that keeps your build looking clean and professional.

Spacious Design Without the Bulk

Despite its compact appearance, the Light Base 500 LX White offers room for a 360mm radiator, full-size ATX motherboards, and graphics cards up to 400mm long. The drive bracket is cleverly designed to hold one HDD and two SSDs simultaneously, without interfering with cable routing behind the motherboard tray.

ARGB Lighting with Intelligent Control

Four pre-installed Light Wings LX fans deliver 16 LEDs each, creating a striking ARGB effect. The rear fan is a standard 120mm White, while the side fans feature reversed blades to keep their illuminated side visible at all times. An integrated ARGB controller on the I/O panel offers predefined lighting effects, and the fans connect to a 6-way hub with four free connectors for expansion.

Backside Connector Support for Clean Builds

The motherboard tray fully supports backside connector designs like Asus BTF, MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Project Stealth, enabling a truly cable-free front view. To accommodate this feature without sacrificing a drive slot, the positions of the PSU and drive bracket have been swapped.
