The evolution of the successful platform from be quiet!
The Pure Base 500 platform continues to exemplify the ideal computer case in all aspects: stylish design, thoughtful internal layout, efficient lighting, serious case cooling and effective noise isolation. For example, the inner side of the sidewall facing the motherboard is equipped with noise insulation, the HDD cages are lined with vibration-absorbing pads made of soft rubber, and the Pure Wings fans are initially set to ninja mode. Out of the box, there are 4 fans installed inside the case, which allows users not to worry about the cooling system.
German quality
The highest standard of the case is highlighted by the use of thick metal in the frame and internal lining, giving the case a weight of 8kg. The Pure Base 500 FX platform provides the opportunity to build a gaming or work PC of any class. The case easily accommodates a video card up to 37 cm in length and tower coolers up to 19 cm in height. The front, back and top of the case have dedicated areas for placing water pumps of different sizes. The power supply and storage cages are hidden in the lower closed compartment, which is typical for most modern cases.
Focus on lighting
Compared to the original Pure Base 500 and its sequel, the Pure Base 500DX, the review unit focuses on the chassis lighting: addressable LEDs illuminate the outer and inner surfaces of the front door, and all 4 fans are decorated with LED elements supporting 16.8 million colors. The side wall is naturally transparent. The manufacturer notes that the ARGB hub can synchronize up to six ARGB components and six PWM fans, and the backlight system itself supports a variety of lighting modes and is compatible with popular synchronization systems from other brands.
