be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX White Case EATX - BGW64

be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX White is a middle tower case that comfortably accommodates serious EATX builds without looking like a tank on your desk. Support for ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, and Extended ATX motherboards gives you plenty of freedom in configuration choice – from a standard gaming build to a more demanding workstation. The side panel made of tempered glass is perfect if you want to showcase your hardware and RGB instead of hiding it. Combined with a length for graphics cards up to 430 mm, you can easily fit even the longest high-end GPUs.

What you get

The case is designed with good airflow – you have the option for up to 3 x 140 mm in the front and another up to 3 x 140 mm on top, plus positions at the back and bottom, allowing for textbook front-to-back airflow. Right out of the box, 3 included fans mean you can start your build without immediately incurring additional cooling costs. Space for a CPU cooler up to 180 mm means that more serious air towers fit without drama. With up to 4 x 3.5" and 8 x 2.5" slots, you can combine several SSDs for OS and games plus large HDDs for mass storage – suitable for both a gaming library and working with large files. The I/O panel with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C gives you quick front access for modern devices.

• Support for ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, and Extended ATX motherboards, so you are not limited in motherboard choice and can also switch to wider EATX solutions.
• Middle Tower form factor, balancing internal space and reasonable external size for a desk or under it.
• Fan mounting options: front 3 x 120 / 3 x 140 mm, top 3 x 120 / 3 x 140 mm, back 1 x 140 / 1 x 120 mm, and bottom 1 x 140 / 1 x 120 mm – flexible airflow depending on the configuration.
• 3 included fans, providing basic cooling right out of the box and allowing you to start your build immediately.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, so you can see the hardware and lighting if you are aiming for a visually complete build.
• Support for graphics cards up to 430 mm, which is enough for most high-end GPU models on the market.
• Space for a CPU cooler up to 180 mm, allowing for the installation of large air towers for quieter and more efficient operation.
• 4 x 3.5" and 8 x 2.5" slots for drives, covering needs for a lot of storage – from large NAS-like arrays to a combination of NVMe/SSD + HDD.
• I/O panel with 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.2 Type A, and HD Audio, providing convenient front ports for peripherals, flash drives, and headphones.
• Support for power supplies up to 250 mm, with a bottom placement for better cable management and separating the PSU area from the main airflow.

Who it is suitable for

This case is a good foundation if you plan a mid-range or high-end gaming build, streaming configuration, or workstation with a lot of storage and a large graphics card. It is suitable if you value quiet systems with good airflow and want to showcase your components through the glass panel. It is not the most compact option if you are looking for the smallest form factor or a super lightweight LAN build.

The combination of support for EATX, long GPUs, tall coolers, and a serious number of drives makes Shadow Base 800 FX White a very flexible foundation for a modern and visually organized configuration. If you want a spacious, well-thought-out case without unnecessary compromises, this model delivers just that.
