Three 14cm fans. Glass side window. Mesh front panel. Fits graphics cards up to 37 cm and tower coolers up to 19 cm. ARGB backlight.

Medium-sized case from the German company Be quiet. The platform allows you to build a computer of almost any performance class. Among other things, the high status of the case is given out by its weight — the model weighs 7.8 kg, which indicates the use of thick metal in the frame and cladding. There is a mesh panel on the front, which allows the cooling system to freely draw in any amount of air.

The same mesh is on top. The front panel is equipped with a pair of LED strips. When disconnecting the front mesh, you don’t have to worry about the integrity of the wires, since the backlight is connected using contact terminals. Computer case Be quiet Pure Base 500DX received a good cooling system. Three 140 mm fans from the Pure Wings 2 series are responsible for blowing through the case.

The capacity of this chassis is above average. So, the platform is able to place a CPU cooling tower up to 190 mm high inside, 369 mm is allocated for mounting a graphics card. In the role of a power supply, you can use a fairly powerful model, because the length of the block can reach a solid 258 mm. There is dust protection on the front, top and bottom, making it possible to put expensive and performant dust-sensitive hardware on the chassis.

Everything will fit

be quiet! Pure Base 500DX is relatively compact in length and height (by the standards of the Midi Tower format), but at the same time a rather plump PC case. The large depth allows you to install even double-tower supercoolers up to 19 cm high, and video cards up to 37 cm high.

snow white

The front panel is made of mesh and decorated with unobtrusive ARGB backlighting. The panel is connected to the housing frame not by wires, but by contacts, due to which it can be completely dismantled. The body is painted white, not only externally, but also internally. In addition to white, there is also a black modification Pure Base 500DX.

No vibration

The basket for two 3.5-inch hard drives is removable and with vibration-absorbing soft rubber pads. And there are few seats for 2.5-inch SSDs, not a few, five pieces. The mounting frame of the power supply is also made easy-to-remove — on the wing.

Quiet fans

The main advantage of the Pure Base 500DX is the trio of pre-installed be quiet! Pure Wings 2 with a diameter of 14 cm. Their maximum rotation speed is 900 rpm and can be reduced using PWM technology. And taking into account the relatively durable screw-threaded bearings (hydrodynamic bearings are practically not used in case fans), the manufacturer gives a three-year warranty on the case.
