be quiet! LIGHT BASE 600 DX Black ATX Case - BGW65

be quiet! LIGHT BASE 600 DX Black is a middle tower case for ATX systems, aimed at more serious gaming and work configurations, where you want both airflow and a clean appearance. It supports ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards and comes with a large tempered glass window to showcase your build. The internal space is generous – a graphics card up to 400 mm and a CPU cooler up to 170 mm, providing freedom in component selection. No fans are included, which is a plus if you plan to use specific models for maximum control over noise and airflow.

What you get

The internal layout is designed to accommodate both serious air and water setups. You can mount up to a 360 mm radiator on top, and there is also space for 360 mm at the bottom — a combination that allows powerful CPUs and GPUs to operate at lower temperatures. Side and bottom support for up to 3 x 120 mm fans enables strong front/bottom intake and high overall airflow, which is important for high-end graphics cards. With a separate bottom compartment for the PSU (supports power supplies up to 200 mm), you keep the cables hidden and out of the airflow path. With a total of 2 x 3.5" and 4 x 2.5" slots, you have enough space for a combination of SSD for the system and HDD for storage without unnecessary compromises.

• The case form factor is Middle Tower, suitable for balanced gaming and workstation configurations without taking up too much space.
• Compatibility with ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards gives you the freedom to reuse an old board or plan a future upgrade.
• Large side panel made of tempered glass to showcase cooling, RGB, and clean cable management.
• Support for graphics cards up to 400 mm and air coolers up to 170 mm, sufficient for most massive GPUs and tower coolers.
• Rich fan options: up to 2 x 140 / 3 x 120 mm on top, 3 x 120 mm on the side, up to 2 x 140 / 3 x 120 mm at the bottom, and 1 x 120 mm at the back for flexible airflow configuration.
• Extended support for water cooling – radiators 360 / 240 / 120 mm on top and bottom, plus 240 / 120 mm on the sides and 120 mm at the back for complex custom or AIO loops.
• 7 expansion slots, which is standard for ATX and allows for multi-slot GPUs, capture cards, and additional controllers.
• Modern I/O ports on the front – 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.2 Type-A, and HD Audio, for easy access to fast transfer and headphones.
• The power supply is mounted at the bottom and supports PSUs up to 200 mm, which is sufficient for most quality high-power ATX models.

Who it is suitable for

This case is a good option if you are planning a mid-range to high-end gaming build with a large graphics card and want space for serious air or water cooling. It is also suitable for work – rendering, editing, 3D – where you need many drives and stable airflow. If you are looking for an ultra-compact system or a case with pre-installed fans “out of the box”, you will need to consider additional investment in cooling.

The most sensible aspect of LIGHT BASE 600 DX is the combination of spacious interior, rich support for fans and radiators, and a clean look with tempered glass. This gives you a platform on which you can build your configuration for a long time without being limited by the case.
