be quiet! launches stylish Light Base 500 PC cases

be quiet!, the German company known for quiet and premium PC parts, has revealed two new cases in its lineup — the Base 500 LX and Base 500. Both models focus on smooth airflow, clean looks, and easy cable management for gaming and creative setups.

The case features stylish ARGB lighting and four Light Wings LX 120 mm fans. Three fans are placed on the side for air intake, and one sits at the back for exhaust. The design helps cool large GPUs, with support for up to a 360 mm radiator, ATX motherboard, and graphics cards up to 400 mm long.

It also includes a built-in ARGB and PWM hub that supports up to six devices, while its side and bottom dust filters keep the system clean. Users can mount the power supply in two different positions for better cable control. The Light Base 500 LX will be available in both black and white.

For users who prefer a cleaner look, the Light Base 500 drops RGB lighting but keeps the same strong design and cooling system. It includes four Pure Wings 3 fans, giving quiet and steady airflow for any setup. This model will only come in black.

Both cases support new motherboard types like ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Project Stealth, making them future-ready. They also come with a 3-year warranty for peace of mind.
