Front fascia an acquired taste
Not as quiet as Pure Base 500
No reset button or HDD LED
Loud performance under load
Just one front USB Type-A port
Front air filter difficult to access
The top of the case has limited space above the motherboard
We would prefer PWM fans

Removing the SSD bracket and drive cages leave holes in the midplate
Tempered Glass Option, Great Paint Finish, Plenty of Cooling Options, Full Radiator Support, Vented Basement Panel, White Looks Amazing
Expansion slot screws outside the case, Not big enough for a full DIY loop,
In this review we looked at the Pure Base 500DX from be quiet! This is a down market chassis designed for enthusiast builders looking for a cost effective chassis that fits the “gaming” profile. Cost effective means different things in the computer world...
Excellent performance; superb attention to detail; classy RGB effects; very compact
Single USB TypeA port is disappointing, thumb screws for glass panel is too
IntroductionSince 2013, we've reviewed over 30 cases, and among we named the be quiet! Pure Base 500 our favorite new case of 2019. Well, be quiet! didn't take long to bring out a successor, the Pure Base 500DX. It adds a third 140mm Pure Wings 2 fan, a v...

Abstract: The original be quiet! Pure Base 500 completely failed to pique our interests. It was another mid-tower we knew would have subpar airflow in the $80-$90 range (depending on the configuration), not cheap enough to excuse faults or expensive enough to make...

Well-engineered features and functionality, Mesh and out-of-the-box fan setup great for temperatures, Nice LED lighting inside the front of the chassis, Can hold six hard drives, 360 mm radiator will fit in front, Ships with three 140 mm retail-grade fans
Looks may not be for everyone, USB Type-C a roughly implemented upgrade to the original 500, No vertical expansion slots if you want to show off your GPU (and buy a PCIe flex cable), Thumb screws for windowed side panel—other brands have found ways to mak

We already loved be quiet's Pure Base 500, and much of that love extends to its 500DX variant. It offers users the same level of radiator support as before, the same internal layout and all of the design features that makes the Pure Base series an incredi...
Three included Pure Wings 2 fans, Excellent thermal performance, Lots of RGB, Superbly easy to work in, Front USB 3.1 Gen. 2 Type-C port,
Loud performance under load, Just one front USB Type-A port, Front air filter difficult to access
The be quiet! Pure Base 500DX is an easy-to-use chassis with lots of included extras and great thermal performance. Just know it needs quiet components to keep noise levels down under load...
As always, I enjoy starting the build with the power supply. This is because I want to route all the cables to the necessary places before anything else in the case can obstruct my flow. In addition, these cables are generally the bulkiest ones, so it is...
Abstract: Are PC first impressions important? It all depends on the PC. For a pre-built desktop system sitting in an office, a plain black or beige chassis tells you all you need-and probably, want-to know. (Yawn, you're a bore.) For a custom-made computer, though...
