The be quiet! Shadow Base 800 DX Black case represents a premium mid-tower solution optimized for maximum airflow and professional high-performance configurations. The fully permeable mesh design on front and top panels ensures unobstructed air circulation, essential for workstations with high-end components, elaborate water-cooling systems or intensive computing configurations generating high thermal output.
The cooling system includes 3 pre-installed Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM fans, delivering optimal balance between performance and quiet operation at only 21.9 dB(A) at maximum speed. This characteristic is critical for professional environments where ambient noise must remain minimal – open-space offices, editing studios or workstations in close user proximity.
Generous dimensions accommodate E-ATX motherboards, radiators up to 420mm (front/top) and maximum-size professional GPUs, making this case ideal for workstation builds with RTX Ada/AMD Radeon PRO or custom water-cooling configurations with complex loops. The capability to mount 420mm top radiator provides thermal redundancy for overclocked systems or high-TDP CPU/GPU.
Subtle ARGB illumination integrated into the front panel, controlled via included ARGB controller or synchronizable with motherboard, enables visual customization without compromising aesthetic professionalism. The side panel of tinted tempered glass with black painted side bars offers complete visibility of internal components, relevant for showrooms or client presentations.
The professional cable management system with integrated bars simplifies organization even in complex configurations with multiple storage devices, modular PSU and custom sleeved cables. Tool-less HDD/SSD installation accelerates assembly and servicing in large-scale deployments. Modern I/O panel includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and 2x USB 3.2, ensuring connectivity for latest-generation peripherals and rapid data transfer.
Removable dust filters facilitate periodic cleaning without complete disassembly, critical for preventive maintenance in high-particulate environments or workstation fleets. Robust be quiet! construction guarantees longevity in intensive use and superior protection for valuable components.
Ideal for: CAD/3D rendering workstations with custom water-cooling, 4K/8K video editing stations with multiple GPUs, development systems with dual-CPU or high-core-count configurations, entry-level tower servers for SMB, enthusiast configurations with advanced overclocking, deployment in multimedia production studios, showroom builds for integrators, data analysis systems with high thermal requirements, AI/ML platforms with multiple compute accelerators.
