THE LIGHT BASE 500 LX EXTERIOR

In terms of design the Light Base 500 LX doesn't stand out much when compared to similar panoramic models (it was nice to see that be quiet! used pieces of cardboard to keep the tempered glass panels safe during shipping).

The entire left side panel is made of tempered glass and features a clip-on design (no screws).

Most of the fascia is taken by another tempered glass panel (removable, held in place with screws).

Next to the front tempered glass panel we find the usual I/O panel which this time includes an lighting mode button, USB-C port, two USB-A ports, 3.5mm headphones out and the power on/off and reset buttons.

The top panel is mostly perforated to allow air to reach the fans inside and also features a clip-on design.

Worth pointing out is that the side front fan panel inside the Light Base 500 LX can be removed from the top as seen above.

Turning the case around we see that the right side panel is also mostly perforated.

There's a long but not so wide removable dust filter at the base of the Light Base 500 LX.

At the rear we find the 4th Light Wings LX 120mm fan, two side PSU areas (one over the other) and the 7 PCI expansion slots.
