Overview

Compact, silent and ARGB

The be quiet! Pure Base 501 DX 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 178 mm high fan and a 368 mm graphics card. The tempered glass side panel offers an unobstructed 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 3 140 mm fans , while emphasising its gaming look with ARGB. It also offers numerous cable management options to hide unwanted cables and optimise airflow.

Elegance and style

The Pure Base 501 DX Black features LED strips on the front and inside of the case, striking the perfect balance between ARGB lighting and the understated elegance characteristic of the Pure Base 501 series. The front panel has been completely redesigned to match the lighting and make a statement in your room.

Ultra-quiet operation

Three 140 mm Pure Wings 3 PWM fans are pre-installed in this case. Designed for optimum airflow, the Pure Wings 3 fans feature 7 airflow-optimised blades that not only reduce the turbulence that causes noise. They also ensure that Pure Wings 3 140 mm PWM fans deliver the performance required for the most demanding configurations.

A neat interior

Despite its compact dimensions, the Pure Base 501 DX offers enough space for high-end graphics cards and the largest heat sinks. Up to 3 fans or a 360 mm radiator can be installed at the front, while the top panel can accommodate up to 2 fans or a 240 mm radiator.

The Pure Base 501 DX's PCIe slots can be rotated through 90°, allowing the largest high-end graphics cards to be installed vertically (riser required, not supplied). The spacing is perfect for the optional be quiet! Riser Cable, whose foam base provides excellent anti-sag support for vertically oriented graphics cards.

    Super product

    This case is really great. It is fully dismantlable. And it provides very easy accessibility everywhere.
    The design is elegant. The LEDs on the front panel are fully configurable.
    I am very happy with this purchase.

    Hello Mikael, just a quick note about my purchase. First of all I would like to thank you again for your warm welcome. Rare and expensive today. Over the course of the quotations, we managed to work out and find the configuration of the machine that suited me. After several days of use I am very satisfied with my purchase. The configuration is perfect. Fast, quiet and stylish. It's got everything. My software works perfectly. Developing a raw photo takes less than 30 seconds compared to 5 minutes before. Just incredible. The body is superb and sturdy, and the LEDs are a really nice touch. The view of the inside of the camera is brilliant. The peripherals on the motherboard etc show that this is quality made to last. Thank you for the quality of the assembly, in short, I'm very happy with my purchase. I thank you for everything and wish you a pleasant day. Best regards. Didier DESPRES
