be quiet! Light Base 500

 

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 PURE WINGS 3

Wait, how many fans?!

Light Base 500 features 4 preinstalled Pure Wings 3 fans. The rear exhaust fan is a Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM, the intake fans on the side are Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM fans with reversed fan blades. All fans are optimized for maximum airflow, while reducing noise-generating turbulences with their specially shaped fan blades at the same time. The reversed fan blades make sure that their pretty side is visible at all times.

SPACIOUS DESIGN

Size matters after all

Light Base 500 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 2 HDDs 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!

NO ARGB

Join the dark side

Do you prefer a stealthy look? If so: we’ve got you covered with the Light Base 500, a perfect blend of the classic be quiet! style with no LED lighting and modern form. Enjoy your next gaming session without flashing lights in your peripheral view.
