Very good for my first tower with 3 fans so the tower doesn’t overheat and it works very well
The be quiet! Pure Base 500DX is a mid-tower case with a silent design that allows you to assemble almost any configuration based on a mini-ITX, micro-ATX or ATX motherboard. The optimised interior space can accommodate up to 5 SSDs, a 190 mm high fan and a 369 mm graphics card. The tempered glass side panel offers an unrestricted view of the components inside your PC case, and the ARGB backlighting adds a touch of assertive gaming.
Be Quiet! has taken care to ensure quiet operation by installing three Pure Wings 2 140 mm fans , while emphasising its gaming look with its first ARGB case. It also offers numerous cable management options to hide unwanted cables and optimise airflow.

The Pure Base 500DX offers generous dimensions for the installation of high-end graphics cards and large cooling systems up to 190 mm high. Fans or radiators up to 360 mm can be easily installed at the front. The upper zone offers space for fans or radiators up to 240 mm.
Three pre-installed Pure Wings 2 fans with optimised blades ensure perfect airflow and constant cooling. Despite the case's compact design, the front and rear fans are 140 mm models, ensuring ultra-quiet operation. Three additional 140 mm fans can be fitted as an option.


The power supply cover perfectly covers the cables, the power supply unit and contains a double HDD rack. The double HDD cage with decoupled supports reduces vibrations and helps to maximise silence. It can also be repositioned to accommodate radiators up to 360 mm in front. Using the PSU bracket, the power supply can be easily installed from the rear.
ARGB LEDs offer a range of colours and styles to personalise the appearance of the enclosure both indoors and out. You can optionally synchronise the lighting with your motherboard or ARGB controller.

Very good for my first tower with 3 fans so the tower doesn’t overheat and it works very well
This purchase was necessary because my old case (pre-built ASUS PC) did not allow for the installation of a high-performance cooling fan and generated a lot of noise.
The 500DX offers excellent airflow thanks to its mesh front panel.
In addition, the dust filters (front, bottom and top panel) are removable and easy to clean, which helps maintain good airflow over time without excessive dust accumulation.
The fans provided are efficient and quiet.
The interior space facilitates assembly and cable management.
A very good choice for those looking to improve both cooling and acoustic comfort.
I came to see you to change my case and ventirad (you didn't want to install "liquid metal", which I supplied, instead of thermal paste (which is less efficient)).
I asked you to install software to manage my RGBs.
I've ended up with a new Windows that I can't link to my Microsoft account.
Fortunately, I have a friend who knows me well and who had to reinstall a new Windows (which, moreover, didn't hamper my performance).
Very good configuration for gaming.
Very clear information on the website which enabled me to create this configuration.
Shop in Cherbourg with very nice and professional staff.
Don't hesitate to go there.
Very quiet and tidy, but beware that you might quickly run out of space if you have a big GPU or CPU cooling. I'm using a Noctua NH-U12A Chromax Black as a CPU cooling unit and a Radeon RX 7800 XT and when I had to put it in, I couldn't for the life of me see the bracket itself due to the size of the cooling fan & the GPU.
