be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX Black - High Airflow ARGB Mid Tower

The Shadow Base 800 FX Black delivers exceptional airflow and impressive ARGB illumination in a spacious mid-tower design. Built for high-performance systems, this case accommodates extensive components including E-ATX motherboards and graphics cards up to 430mm long.

Advanced ARGB Lighting System

Four pre-installed Light Wings 140mm PWM fans feature dual ARGB rings - subtle rear lighting combined with bright front illumination creates a striking appearance from every angle. Additional ARGB LEDs at the front panel offer multiple colors and modes. The included ARGB controller allows standalone operation, or sync with your motherboard for unified lighting control across 40 addressable LEDs.

Optimized Airflow Architecture

The open mesh design maximizes air permeability through the front and top panels. Four Light Wings 140mm PWM fans deliver 56 CFM airflow each at just 23.3 dB(A), maintaining quiet operation while pushing 95.14 m³/h. Removable dust filters on front and bottom panels simplify maintenance. The case supports radiators up to 420mm at both front and top positions, ideal for extensive liquid cooling configurations.

Spacious Interior Design

With dimensions of 550 x 247 x 503mm and 62.74L volume, the Shadow Base 800 FX accommodates CPU coolers up to 180mm tall and PSUs up to 305mm long. The case supports up to eight fans total and provides seven expansion slots for maximum flexibility. Storage options include three 3.5" HDD slots and seven 2.5" SSD slots.

Modern Connectivity

The front I/O panel features one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and two USB 3.2 Type-A ports for high-speed data transfer. An integrated ARGB controller button provides quick access to lighting modes. HD audio in/out jacks complete the connectivity options.

Premium Build Quality

The tinted tempered glass side panel showcases your components while the steel construction ensures durability. Professional cable management bars integrated throughout the interior maintain a clean build appearance. Tool-less HDD and SSD installation simplifies the building process.
