        Compact but not 100% silent

        I was looking for a case that wouldn't take up too much space, so naturally I turned to this Bequiet case. I'm very satisfied with the performance of this case, except for the choice of fans. I had to replace them with silent wings, which doesn't make the price very attractive compared with Bequiet's higher-end models, which are super-quiet but bulkier. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a compact, good-quality case, you won't be disappointed.

        Excellent case

        I've been using this box since I ordered it on 26/03/2024! It's just perfect! I can't recommend it enough!

        My graphics card, a 4070Ti Suprim x, is one of the biggest on the market and fits in without a hitch!

        sobriety

        proof that space is sometimes needed to minimise :
        . noise, with dense foam reinforcements on the walls and the storage of mechanical hdd in the back.
        . ventilation, with modularity and diversity of fans at all points.
        . dust, with perforated plastic filters that leave room for reinforcements.
        . handling, with a high level of comfort.
        . storage, with concealment and guide.
        . clips for screwless, effortless handling.
        . metal walls that allow magnets to be used.
        . my comments, in other words, rave reviews.

        Modular at will

        Lightweight, no-frills case, generous dimensions, but with space to attach components, with removable elements as required.

        aptly named

        What silence with an MSI MPG A650GF power supply and an i5 14400 (ventirad supplied with the proc).
        Practical, no tools required, easy to fit, ATX motherboard mounting studs are almost all already in place.

        top-notch box

        Although it's bigger than I thought, I'm very happy with it! There's plenty of room inside for the components, which simplifies assembly, the cable passages are very practical, and the 2 original fans are relatively quiet... thank you BeQuiet and LDLC!

        Ideal

        A sober, relatively silent box that seems built to last.
        When you look at it (I took it in white), you get a feeling of 'quiet strength'.
        The finish is clean and there's an easily retractable filter at every aperture.
        This case has been optimised to cool the graphics card efficiently, and it does so very well indeed.
        For ideal ventilation, another 14 cm fan needs to be added to the front panel so that the CPU is also properly ventilated. With this little extra, the case is just... perfect.

        Very good and quiet

        I had trouble tightening the fan when I first installed it, the processor rose to 100°C in games and 50 at rest. I screwed the fan onto the CM better, and it heats up to 65°c max for an I5-12600K in games, using the full speed fans. in Windows, the standard temperature is around 30°c.

        Is there a risk of breaking a processor if you screw the fan too tightly onto a motherboard? or is that what it's designed for? I've always been told not to tighten it all the way. I'm stubborn

        No USB-C

        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.

        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!

        Impeccable

        A case with a good management cable, good airflow and it makes assembling the computer pretty simple.
        The only flaw for my use is the lack of front USB-C (minor issue).

        A compact and well-designed ATX

        It's compact so when mounting an ATX card there's not a lot of finger room but it's not an obstacle either. There are plenty of holes for cables and you can make a very clean assembly. The 2 original fans are very quiet (3 pins), you have to think about the modularity offered by the top of the case, you can close it, put a watercooling, I preferred to put a 4 pins fan of the same brand. In short, you can do as you wish thanks to the removable partitions (on top).
        It hosts an i7 12700k and a monstrous SuprimX 3080. Well, it doesn't heat up too much and it doesn't make much noise. The fan added on the top partition must contribute to this.

        The case is not designed to hold many physical hard drives, but today the CM that holds the i7 has 4 M2 slots so it's not a PB (except for recovery and financial).

        There is a filter at the bottom of the case that slides out, you have to think about it when you handle it to get a good grip on it.

        For the price, with promotion, frankly a good case with 2 cool basic fans, modularity, a glass: good!

        A little disappointed....

        The case is not bad in its design. Only, my case had a broken rivet.... I had to put one back on.... The fans are not in PWM.... Too bad.... As for the rivet, it bothers me a bit to receive a defective product....

        Very satisfied!

        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.

        High quality, well-groomed appearance.

        Very nice case, well finished. It is spacious and I have installed my components in it, including a fairly large graphics card without any problem. The interior is lined in places with a sound absorber which does its job very well the pc is quiet. I simply added a fan that extracts air through the top opening and it is perfectly well ventilated.

        Very easy to assemble and very well organised for the cable passages and disk attachments.

        Very good housing

        Good quality, worthy of the brand.
        The case is elegant and clean, a pleasure to assemble your PC.
        I have relatively few components (cpu, rtx 1080, ssd sata, ssd PCIe, ventirad, power supply), the size of the case is largely sufficient.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the magnet, but it's a good idea to use some strong glue.

        Great housing

        Great case, aesthetically pleasing, quiet and above all very well laid out inside for cable management. The basic ventilation is sufficient for a r5 5600x configuration. The power supply is a bit difficult to access once installed.

        Good tower but problem with the USB ports

        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).

        First box at the top!

        For a first case, I am delighted!
        Delivered as described with 2 fans, cable management clips and screws to attach motherboard and hard drives (maybe need a bit more to attach an extra HD).
        The look is really nice, well finished. I really like the system of the 2 plates on top to put a less aesthetic filter but a bit more open. Another comment mentioned it, one of the magnets on the white plate was already a bit unstuck. A shot of strong glue and it holds well (I remove it from time to time to test).
        There is enough space to fix a lot of hard drives of all sizes, it's very pleasant.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one. I might have to invest in some angled wedges ... Otherwise, there are a lot of points to guide all this correctly!

        Very good value for money

        This enclosure is extremely easy to assemble.
        The cable management allows a very clean assembly.
        The PC is quiet and the component temperatures are well controlled.

        Recommended for a first PC or a PC on a tight budget.

        Meets my expectations

        My criteria for the configuration I was mounting :

        - space for big graphics cards (like an RX 6800)
        - but not a huge tower either
        - quiet
        - sober but classy
        - sufficient fans are provided
        - efficient cable management solutions
        - a price under 100 euros
        - possibility to install water cooling later if needed
        - dust filters under the tower as the PSU is mounted at the bottom of this model

        Very satisfied with this purchase!

        Robust and quiet housing

        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 good case, but the finish needs to be reviewed.

        I decided on this case because of the comments and recognition of the Bequiet! brand.

        At first glance, the case is a bit big. I think it is even bigger than the average ATX case. However, it is very aesthetic.

        The installation of the CM is quite smooth as there is enough room to work. The cable management system is quite efficient so that you don't have cables everywhere in the case.

        As far as noise is concerned, it is a very quiet case despite the 2 fans.

        Negative point: The top cover panel is magnetic. The problem is that the magnets are stronger than the glue that holds it to the cover. As a result, the magnets come off and often stay on the case when you want to remove the cover.

        Apart from this detail, it is a very good case.

        Very good box

        Very good case, outstanding finish and I was surprised by the way they thought about the case. It is really well thought out, every inch of the case is thought out for maximum use.

        The case is nice, nice glass to admire the setup and quiet.

        In the end, I was able to plug in: 7 hard drives, ATX formula IX, MSI 1080Ti, Corsair 850W, Corsair h60, x3 be quiet! Silent Wings 3 140mm PWM (2 front, 1 top) and all this easily with a well detailed case manual

        9/10: I could have given 10/10 easily but the only downside: The front USB 3.0 connector to the motherboard (20-1 pin usb 3) is quite difficult to connect if you have an ATX motherboard.

        I highly recommend :)

        Beautiful, well designed, modular

        I find this case sober (in grey), beautiful, with clean lines.
        It is well designed because it is modular:
        - top dust filter supplied, optional installation
        - some parts are adjustable
        - it has many recesses for the passage of wires
        The only drawback is that there is no reset button, but that's okay; Windows never crashes :)
        This case houses the following upgrade kit: "ASUS TUF B-450 PLUS GAMING" motherboard + "RYZEN 5 2600" + 2 "G.SKILL SNIPER X URBAN CAMO DDR4 2 X 8 GO 3200 MHZ" memory sticks
        The delivery is fast: 3 days.
        I really appreciated the help of the technical service before the purchase, for a diagnostic advice on my old configuration which generated "blue screens of death" every day or so. I had 3 different people to talk to, all equally patient and quick to respond.
        They also helped me in my choice.

        - Modular design (HDD cage and SSD holders can be removed)
        - Pretty good noise reduction

        Negative point:
        - There is only one fan on the front. Knowing that the front only offers a small air inlet, a second fan seems essential to me to ensure a good circulation inside the case

        For the price, I can't complain. Users with a fairly intensive use should certainly monitor the temperatures at the beginning and add a front fan if necessary.

        Model: be quiet! Pure Base 500 (White)
