CONCLUSION

    One complaint many consumers had over the years about be quiet! was that they had been releasing the same type of PC cases and well, it’s great to see them move to panoramic models (and just in time for both the latest Intel and AMD motherboards and CPUs). The Light Base 900 FX is not only great looking (4 ARGB fans and a 1.5 meter long ARGB strip) and spacious (two 420mm and one 360mm radiators along with 495mm long GPUs, 190mm tall CPU air coolers and 225mm PSUs is certainly not something we see a lot), it’s also probably the only case around right now that you can also use horizontally and invert in a matter of a few seconds (something which I expect will appeal to many people). Build quality is also very good, the 4 pre-installed Light Wings 140mm fans are almost inaudible and the ability to use one of the latest motherboards with backside connectors is certainly welcome. If I had to nitpick, I’d point out that even though the rear drive cage has room for 2 trays be quiet! only includes one so if you have two 3.5” drives you will need to buy a second one from them.

    The Light Base 900 FX was officially launched a few hours ago and even though it’s still not available in the USA (will update once it is) it does currently retail for 247.74Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is actually very good for a high-end be quiet! PC case. At the end of the day what you see in such reviews is what you get and since the Light Base 900 FX is clearly among the best PC cases ever released by be quiet! it clearly deserves the Platinum Award.
