3 front fans with neat ARGB lighting
The rest of the case is quite similar to the popular Pure Base 500 FX model, equipped with three ARGB fans behind the front door, which serves as the main point for hot air exhaust. In total, the case comes with four Light Wings with ARGB lighting, and a lighting control hub is included, which can be connected to Aura Sync, Polychrome Sync, Mystic Light and other lighting control systems.
Great, but a bit expensive
Overall, be quiet! has created a rather interesting premium case that successfully combines effective cooling, high capacity, spectacular lighting and good noise insulation (as much as possible with perforation). Despite the ventilated design, the case provides effective protection against dust: magnetic filters are installed at the front and bottom, and the case is covered with a fine mesh panel on top. The video card can be placed vertically using a riser. The removable pockets for drives are equipped with vibration isolation and are installed without using a screwdriver. There are 4 USB ports on the front panel, including USB C.
The only downside to the be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX is the availability of more affordable Airflow cases with similar features from Montech, Cougar and Gamemax.
