About this product

LIGHT BASE 500 LX WHITE

Core performance and aesthetics Light Base 500 LX White stands for a clean design and the core values of gaming: performance, accessibility and functionality.

ELEVATED ELEGANCE

Cool design, cooler GPU The angled fan frame in the side is not only a testament to elegance and functionality but also directs more air towards the GPU – a part that traditionally requires a lot of it. It provides a neat cutout that works as an efficient air intake. For an easy installation of fans, it slides out to the top. Cable management is easier than ever before with a channel that hides your equipment elegantly. If you install additional fans in the bottom, they line up perfectly with the case floor due to a lowered fan bay.

4 PREINSTALLED LIGHT WINGS LX

Wait, how many fans?! Light Base 500 LX White features 4 preinstalled Light Wings LX fans. The rear fan is a Light Wings LX 120mm White, the fans on the side are Light Wings LX 120mm PWM White fans with reversed fan blades. All fans feature 16 LEDs inside their hub of the impeller, making for an unmistakable ARGB illumination. The reversed fan blades make sure that their pretty side is visible at all times.
