PC cases have come a long way since the late 90s, but one ATX case looks like any other ATX case. Take the Lian Li O11 Dynamic, first launched in 2018. This stunning piece of art was unlike anything else on the market; just about everyone copied it. The same goes for many other form factors. The NZXT H1 spans a few alternatives from the competition. Using similar designs isn't a negative as companies can put their spin but it becomes slightly uninspiring for those who are after unique-looking PC cases. There are many out there, but they're often too outlandish. Enter the be quiet! Light Base 600 LX.

Standing upright as normal, this chassis looks like many other cases on the market. You've got side and front glass windows, plenty of air intakes and vents, and a standard ATX internal layout. With the Light Base 600 LX, it's all about that two-mode configuration. Underneath the case are four removable feet. These can be swapped out for rubber caps located on the side panel. The feet can then be moved to the side, allowing the entire case to be sat horizontally. When using the case on its side, you're essentially creating an aquarium for all your beloved PC parts.

The front and side windows are now the front and top glass panels and these create a cool centerpiece effect. Throw in some RGB lighting and components for added allure. It's clear be quiet! secretly wants you to use the Light Base 600 LX in this mode as all the branding is now level alongside the front I/O. It's better for the desk position too since you're swapping height for width, which should bring the PC back down to existing hardware, including your monitor. So long as you have ample space available on the desk, you'll be able to showcase all your internal components with unobstructed views.
