LIGHT BASE 500 LX BLACK
Core performance and aesthetics
Light Base 500 LX Black 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 triangular 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 Black features 4 preinstalled Light Wings LX fans. The rear fan is a Light Wings LX 120mm, the fans on the side are Light Wings LX 120mm PWM 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.

SPACIOUS DESIGN
Size matters after all
Light Base 500 LX Black might appear compact, but it comes with enough space for a 360mm radiator, an ATX motherboard and graphics cards up to 400mm length. The smart design of the drive bracket features slots for 1 HDD and 2 SSDs at the same time, without impeding the room for cable management behind the motherboard tray.

BUSINESS IN THE FRONT...
... Party in the back!
The motherboard tray fully supports backside connector designs like Asus BTF (Back to Future), MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Project Stealth, for a true and cable-free view. To enable backside connector support without giving up a drive slot, the position of the PSU and drive bracket are simply swapped!

YES TO ARGB
Join the light side
For those who appreciate subtle illumination without compromising on performance, the Light Base 500 LX Black adds a touch of sophistication to the core design thanks to the included Light Wings LX fans. An ARGB controller button with predefined lighting effects and colors is integrated into the I/O panel. The preinstalled rear fan and daisy-chained side fans are connected to a 6-way ARGB and PWM hub, leaving 4 free connectors for additional devices.
