Conclusion
Now let’s get to the conclusion and because it will most likely be the number 1 discussion topic in the comments section again, we’ll start with the price. The Shadow Base 800 FX in white is priced at 209.90€. Definitely a proud price, we don’t need to discuss that. On the other hand, four very high-quality 140mm fans including an 8-port PWM/ARGB controller are directly on board, which of course also costs money.
Considering the features and the quality of the case, I think the price is actually not that far from reality – at least in relation to the competitors. Sure, you can always find a price-performance hit somewhere, a discontinued model or a good offer that you can compare with such newcomers, but with the smaller equipment/variants we are almost on the level of popular cases like the Fractal North or the Lian Li Lancool in terms of price.
Aside from the price discussion, the Shadow Base 800 does a lot right. By omitting the rather seldom used side opening (which can be used for ventilation/radiator or HDDs), it has a similarly gigantic storage capacity as the large Dark Base Pro 901 despite its shrunken dimensions. Even the 32cm long RTX 3070 Ti from the review looks almost lost in the Shadow Base and even its 300W waste heat at most wrings a tired smile from the case, which definitely equips it for monster graphics cards like the RTX 4090 or the RX 7900XTX. Personally, I can even see systems with large custom loops in this case, because otherwise all that space is kind of wasted.
Overall, the Shadow Base 800 (FX) is a pretty “complete” case, which can convince both qualitatively (material quality and workmanship) and quantitatively (size and features) all along the line.
The case was provided by BeQuiet! for this test. The only condition was the compliance with the lock period, no influence or compensation took place.
