Pros

Cons

wonderful model, really honored
11 June 2023 
Great case, definitely worth the money.
A large amount of space for cable management.
Good airflow.
4 not the cheapest fans.
A spacious case in itself.
5. A controller with additional power from the PSU (via SATA connector) and 6 connectors for fans and the same amount for ARGB.
3 lighting strips (2 on the front and 1 inside on the ceiling of the wall, will look very nice if you install a 240mm water cooling system).
When removing the front part, you won't tear off the wires as everything works on contact closure, so there’s nothing to worry about.
3 quality quick-release filters (top, bottom, and front).
Very tight clips on the muzzle of the case, there you need to make real efforts, but at the same time it’s dumb so as not to break the front end.

great model, love it
31 March 2023 
When choosing this case, I didn't take into account that a 360 mm water cooling system installed on the front panel would take up space for the graphics card. I later struggled to fit my Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ROG Strix 12GB into it. I solved the hard drive issue by purchasing an external enclosure. Overall, it's a wonderful compact case that also makes a great desktop decoration.
Compactness, 4 pre-installed fans providing excellent airflow, dust filters, an included hub, reasonable cost, and stunning appearance.
If you want to install a 360 mm liquid cooling system, there won't be space for hard drives; you'll only be able to use SSDs. Also, when installing liquid cooling on the front panel, not every graphics card will fit. I barely managed to fit a graphics card that's 336 mm in length, and it literally touches the cooling radiator, so keep this in mind when building your computer.

The evolution of the successful platform from be quiet!

The Pure Base 500 platform is an excellent example of a stylish computer case that offers thoughtful internal layout, efficient lighting, powerful case cooling and high-quality noise isolation. For example, the side panel facing the motherboard is equipped with internal noise insulation, and the hard drive cages are equipped with vibration-absorbing soft rubber pads. In addition, the famous Pure Wings fans are initially set to low noise mode. There are 4 fans installed inside the case out of the box, so you don't have to worry about the cooling system.

German quality

The high quality of the case is emphasized by the use of thick metal for the frame and interior decoration, which gives the case a weight of 8 kilograms. The Pure Base 500 FX platform provides the ability to build a gaming or work PC of almost any class. The case easily accommodates graphics cards up to 37cm in length and tower coolers up to 19cm in height. The case also provides dedicated space for various sized water pumps at the front, rear and top. The power supply and drive cages are located in the lower closed compartment, which is typical for most modern cases.

Increased attention to lighting

Compared to the original Pure Base 500 and its sequel, the Pure Base 500DX, our review unit puts the main emphasis on the backlighting of the case. Addressable LEDs illuminate the external and internal surfaces of the front door, and all 4 fans are decorated with LED elements supporting 16.8 million colors. The side panel is naturally transparent. The manufacturer also emphasizes that the ARGB controller is capable of synchronizing up to six ARGB components and six PWM fans, and the backlight system supports many lighting modes and is compatible with popular synchronization systems from other manufacturers.
