Discover Our New ‘Be Quiet!’ PC Cases - Tailorable and Radiant Fans to Light Up Your System

German PC component manufacturerbe quiet! brought anew glass case series and updated its Light Wings illuminated case fans toComputex 2024 . The latest cases are highly configurable “fish tank ” designs that are usable in three orientations for showcasing your PC just the way you want.

Be quiet! introduced the Light Base 600 and Light Base 900 cases. These include fully windowed front and side panels allowing a gorgeous panoramic view of your gaming rig’s components, with the power supply, storage drive, and cables neatly hidden away in a separate chamber.

These cases aren’t run-of-the-mill PC enclosures since they can be used in three different orientations. You can set them up like a traditional tower or invert them, switching the feet from the bottom to the top of the case. You can also position the case horizontally, placing the glass on the top and front. The back of the case offers support for your motherboard’s back I/O plate.

Be quiet! told Tom’s Hardware that the company would even provide3D print files for mounts for the case’s feet so that owners could make custom designs for their cases.
