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.

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