be quiet! Light Base 500 Midi Tower PC Case Black

Light Base 500 combines a minimalist exterior with practical internal layout to support gaming, content creation and hardware upgrades. The case offers targeted airflow management, multiple fan mounting options and space for high-performance components while keeping a restrained, zero-RGB appearance.

Advantages

The design includes an angled slide-out fan frame that directs air toward the GPU and removable filters on the side and bottom to reduce dust buildup. It supports a 360mm radiator, an ATX motherboard and multiple storage devices at the same time, and provides two PSU positions for flexible cable and connector routing. Three intake fans and one exhaust fan are included to establish effective front-to-back airflow.

How to use

Install the motherboard according to the supported form factors and mount storage drives in the dedicated 2.5" and 3.5" bays. Use the lowered fan bay or the angled slide-out frame to position intake fans so airflow is directed toward the GPU. Fit the radiator (up to 360mm) in the supported mounting area and connect the included PWM fans to the motherboard fan headers for automatic speed control. Choose the PSU position that best fits your cable routing and back-panel connector layout.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, arrange component airflow from front/side intake to rear exhaust and keep dust filters clean. Verify clearance for large GPUs and radiators before final assembly.
