be quiet! Light Base 900 DX Review
Source: Tech Power Up added 25th Nov 2024
Introduction
I would like to thank be quiet! for supplying the review sample.
With its cases, be quiet! has mostly been offering traditional layouts for the most part. While their ranges differ in purpose as well as featuring varying degrees of sophistication, one thing that hasn’t been something you will see too much of is ARGB lighting. Sure, there are various FX variants of their cases, but illumination was never a fundamental focus. The Light Base series, as the name implies, changes that approach as its lit base wraps around three sides of the chassis. On top of that, thanks to some clever tooling and design details, the Light Base series can be placed on your desktop in three different ways. We are reviewing the Light Base 900 DX, which is the largest variant of the series. Unlike the FX SKUs which include four ARGB fans, the 900 DX does not ship with any such cooling units. Each of these products is available in black or white, we have the white variant for review.
