The Shadow Base 800 FX is great. It's a generous size without taking up too much space. It's colourful and covered in LEDs without being tacky. It comes with four reliable 140 mm fans for quieter operation and heaps of airflow. Most of all, it's just easy to build into. For that reason alone, I'm sold.
I tested this PC case the only way I know how: building a gaming PC inside it and measuring how well it runs. For this build (full build log here), I opted for an ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi loaded with an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K. To keep the processor cool, a Be Quiet! Dark Rock 5 air cooler. On the graphics front, one last hurrah for AMD's outgoing RX 7900 XT. All of these went together without issue inside the Shadow Base 800 FX. Like, zero issues.
