be quiet! Shadow Base 800 DX White Case EATX - BGW62

be quiet! Shadow Base 800 DX White is a middle tower case, aimed at mid-range to high-end configurations, including many serious EATX builds. You get a wide chassis with room for a video card up to 430 mm, a cooler up to 180 mm and three included fans right from the box. Tempered glass showcases the hardware, while the white body gives a clean, refined look that stands equally well on a desk and underneath it. The format supports from Mini ITX to Extended ATX, so you won't be limited when choosing a motherboard.

What you get

This case is designed for serious air and water flow, with an option for up to three fans at the front and three on top – in combination with the included 3 fans you can build a stable airflow without additional purchases at the start. Support for water cooling at the front and top up to 420 mm radiators means you easily fit massive AIO systems or custom loop for a powerful CPU and hot GPU. Four 3.5" and eight 2.5" bays give enough space for large libraries of games, media work or several separate SSDs for OS, games and projects. The I/O panel with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and two USB 3.2 Type A ports facilitates connection to modern peripherals and fast external devices. The power supply is located at the bottom and supports models up to 250 mm, which gives you freedom for longer, more powerful PSUs.

• Support for formats ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX and Extended ATX, so you can use both compact and large high-end motherboards.
• Tempered glass side panel, which showcases the hardware and RGB components, without sacrificing strength.
• Three included fans and an option for up to 3 x 140 mm at the front, 3 x 140 mm at the top and a fan at the back, to build a strong and quiet airflow.
• Generous support for water cooling with radiators up to 420 mm at the front and top and 120 mm at the back for serious AIO or custom loop configurations.
• Maximum video card length 430 mm and CPU cooler height up to 180 mm, which covers most massive GPUs and tower coolers.
• Total 4 x 3.5" and 8 x 2.5" bays, allowing a combination of large HDDs for storage and fast SSDs for OS and games.
• Modern front panel with 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.2 Type A and HD Audio for easy access to fast connections and sound.
• Bottom-mounted power supply without built-in PSU, with support for models up to 250 mm, suitable for powerful gaming and workstation configurations.

Who it is suitable for

Suitable for gamers and enthusiasts who plan a serious mid-range or high-end build with a large video card, powerful CPU and potentially 360–420 mm water cooling. A good choice also for people who want a lot of disk space – for video work, large libraries of games or local storage solution. If you are looking for a super compact case or do not plan to put more than one or two disks and basic cooling, you can probably go with a smaller chassis.

The strongest combination here is the large internal volume, serious support for air and water cooling up to 420 mm and the practical I/O panel – a case that easily takes heavy builds without limiting you in component choice.
