be quiet! has broken very little new ground with the Pure Base 500DX as they have introduced ARGB lighting in a mesh front panel and have tacked a USB Type-C on the front I/O. These are perfectly reasonable moves, however we have seen these features in a...
Apart from a couple of niggles such as longer Velcro being needed for the cable anchors and few slightly cramped areas inside the chassis, Be Quiet! has nailed it with the Pure Base 500DX. We love the design, it's different, the lighting is funky and easi...
