A good product
It's a good noise reduction, well thought out housing, more than enough screws, great! I've been using it for a while now, but it's not as good as it used to be, so I'm going to give it 5 stars!
The be quiet! Pure Base 500 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 thanks to its optimized interior space.
Mid tower case
The be quiet! Pure Base 500 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.
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 side panels. There are also 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.

It's a good noise reduction, well thought out housing, more than enough screws, great! I've been using it for a while now, but it's not as good as it used to be, so I'm going to give it 5 stars!
It's well worth the price!
Super quiet ... lol, I don't even know if my PC is running when the screens are in standby!
Very easy to assemble and very well organised for the cable passages and disk attachments.
Nice tower but the 2 integrated USB ports connect/disconnect permanently => unusable.
I had a tower with a glass side and no padding before and I can hear the fans just as much even at low rpm (exactly the same configuration inside).
Very good case, spacious and well ventilated, which is also very quiet.
I don't have any cooling problems but if needed I can still install a front fan and a top fan.
The small problem is that the dust filter on the front is difficult to remove for cleaning.
A very well designed and streamlined BE QUIET
I didn't want a tower that looks like a Christmas garland
with a BE QUIET power supply and a BE QUIET ventirad you can hear the flies flying......ET A BIG THANK YOU to LDLC and its subsidiary matériel.net for its after-sales service and its speed of delivery.
In the same universe: pure base 500
