Holy Moly!
Overview

Compact, silent and ARGB

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 allows for up to 5 SSDs, a 190mm high fan and a 369mm graphics card. The tempered glass side panel offers an unobstructed view of the components inside your PC case and the ARGB backlighting brings a touch of gaming.

Be Quiet! has taken care of the quiet operation by installing three 140mm Pure Wings 2 fans while emphasizing its gaming look with its first ARGB case. It also offers numerous cable management options to hide unwanted cables and optimise airflow.

Generous interior space

The Pure Base 500DX offers generous dimensions for the installation of high-end graphics cards and large cooling systems up to 190mm high. Fans or radiators up to 360 mm can be easily installed in the front. The upper area offers space for fans or radiators up to 240 mm.

Ultra-quiet operation

Three 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. As an option, three additional 140 mm fans can be installed.

Neat interior

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 power supply bracket, the power supply can be easily installed from the rear.

ARGB LEDs to illuminate your games

ARGB LEDs offer a variety of colours and styles to customise the appearance of the enclosure both indoors and outdoors. You can optionally synchronize the lighting with your ARGB motherboard or controller.

Main features:

  • Medium tower case with ARGB backlighting for motherboards in the following formats: ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX
  • Tempered glass side panel
  • Efficient cooling system(3 x 140mm Pure Wings 2 fans included)

    Functional

    Very good case. Well laid out, enough room to pass and hide cables behind. Air flow" case with silent fans, I easily moved the top fan to the front with the other one to leave room on top for the Antec Vortex 240 ARGB aio radiator, Nice finish, fast delivery with ldlc.

    It is beautiful and airy

    This was the first time I ordered a Be Quiet case, and well I am not disappointed. The many ventilation slots (and the ones provided) mean that my computer won't overheat this summer (which is what I was looking for).
    It is also super quiet, which is really nice.
    I've been using it for a while now, and it's been a great help to my husband who was so convinced by it that he bought one too. He's reliving it!
    A great discovery and a brand that I recommend.

    Beautiful tower

    The design remains sober but the LEDs on the front are a real plus.
    Very nice quality product. Maybe a bit too expensive, but when you like it...

    Laposte Dom, customs duties and taxes too expensive

    You had to pay 108€29 for the product, 81€95 for the post office, 17€50 for customs duties and taxes. Apart from that the product is great

    Very good product

    Very well packed. Very good product, but lacks some of the documentation of the case. The price is reasonable.

    Sober, efficient and quiet

    I had never mounted a PC in a Be Quiet case, and frankly I was surprised by the quality and the silence of the operation. There is certainly better but for this price you clearly have a quality and efficient case.
    The design is nice even if I admit that it is subjective.

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy it and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy it.
