be quiet! 500 LX Overview

Turn your desktop computer into the centerpiece of the room with the Light Base 500 LX Mid-Tower Case from be quiet!. With panoramic glass panels and support for both traditional and rear connector ATX, mATX, and mini-ITX motherboards, you can fully showcase your components and the included Light Wings LX ARGB fans.

The spacious interior supports seven expansions, including up to 15.7" long graphics cards. A dedicated bar allows you to install one 3.5" hard drive alongside two 2.5" SSDs. For cooling, an angled side panel has three preinstalled Light Wings LX reverse 120mm ARGB fans with one standard airflow fan on the rear. The bottom has a dedicated space that allows up to three 120mm fans to lay flush with the case floor while providing added airflow, and three more 120mm fans may be mounted on the top, for a maximum of 10 fans.

Connectivity
The easy-to-access front panel includes one 10 Gb/s compatible USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port alongside two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports for up to 5 Gb/s devices. You can connect a headset to the 3.5mm audio jack.
Light Wings LX
The preinstalled Light Wings LX PWM fans feature nine optimized blades that deliver high airflow while minimizing noise. A built-in fan controller allows you to manage the ARGB lighting effects. It features a low starting rpm for quiet operation, and its long-life rifle bearing provides an operating lifetime of 60,000 hours.
Ready for Liquid Cooling
Up to 360mm radiators may be installed on the top panel, and you can mount a 240mm radiator onto the side or a 120mm radiator onto the rear.
Versatile PSU Mounting
Space behind the motherboard tray can support up to a 7.8" long ATX power supply. Two mounting positions allow you to accommodate rear connector motherboards.
Room for Your Components
In addition to accommodating an up to 15.7" long graphics card, you can install a 7.3" tall CPU cooler.
