The be quiet! Pure Base 500 Window is a mid-tower case with a quiet design that allows you to assemble almost any configuration based on a mini-ITX, micro-ATX or ATX motherboard. The optimised interior space allows for up to 5 SSDs, a 190mm high fan and a 369mm graphics card. The tempered glass side panel offers a clear view of the components inside your PC case.
Be Quiet! has taken care of the quiet operation by installing two Pure Wings 2 140 mm fans and by fitting the Pure Base 500 with insulating mats on the front, sides and solid side panel. It also offers plenty of cable storage options to hide unwanted cables.
The Pure Base 500 offers generous dimensions for the installation of high-end graphics cards and large cooling systems up to 190mm high. Fans or heat sinks up to 360 mm can be easily installed in the front. The upper area offers space for fans or radiators up to 240 mm.
Two pre-installed Pure Wings 2 fans with optimised blades ensure perfect airflow and constant cooling. Despite the compact design of the case, the front and rear fans are 140mm models, ensuring very quiet operation, and three additional 140mm fans can be installed as an option.
The power supply cover perfectly covers the cables, the power supply unit and contains a double hard disk rack. The double HDD cage with decoupled brackets reduces vibrations and helps to maximise silence. It can also be repositioned to fit radiators up to 360mm in front. Using the PSU bracket, the power supply can be easily installed from the rear.
The front, side and top panels are fitted with insulating mats, providing high stability and optimised noise reduction capabilities. Dust filters at the front and bottom are easy to remove for cleaning.

Overall, I'm happy with it, it's smaller than my previous case, the Corsair Carbide Series 678C White, which was bigger.
The only downside is that I should have looked at the specifications of the case in more detail. I had assumed that a case like this, even if it has been on the market for a few years, would be brought up to date... Well no, there's no USB-C connector on the front. Shame, one less star.
Bought to replace an old top of the range box that was starting to get old (15 years) and in 15 years, what a lot of good developments! Compact case but with plenty of room (not having a DVD drive and hard drives helps a lot). Everything is neat/hidden and easy to install, and it's well ventilated and quiet (I added 2 Noctua 120mm from my old case).
I just had a hard time figuring out how to remove the front panel...you have to pull like hell to get it off...I think it's best to avoid doing it too often...
I'm not sorry I bought it and it was delivered very quickly, as is often the case with LDLC.
