We already loved be quiet's Pure Base 500, and much of that love extends to its 500DX variant. It offers users the same level of radiator support as before, the same internal layout and all of the design features that makes the Pure Base series an incredi...
Three included Pure Wings 2 fans, Excellent thermal performance, Lots of RGB, Superbly easy to work in, Front USB 3.1 Gen. 2 Type-C port,
Loud performance under load, Just one front USB Type-A port, Front air filter difficult to access
The be quiet! Pure Base 500DX is an easy-to-use chassis with lots of included extras and great thermal performance. Just know it needs quiet components to keep noise levels down under load...
As always, I enjoy starting the build with the power supply. This is because I want to route all the cables to the necessary places before anything else in the case can obstruct my flow. In addition, these cables are generally the bulkiest ones, so it is...

I honestly think this is one of the best PC cases I've seen in a while. I actually say that a lot recently, but brands have really upped their game. A few years ago this case would have been triple the price. Amazing build quality, modular, easy access du...

Decent airflow and cooling, Low noise levels, USB TypeC on the front I/O, Full Tempered Glass window
The top of the case has limited space above the motherboard, We would prefer PWM fans, ideally with a small fan hub, Removing the SSD bracket and drive cages leave holes in the midplate
be quiet! has broken very little new ground with the Pure Base 500DX as they have introduced ARGB lighting in a mesh front panel and have tacked a USB Type-C on the front I/O. These are perfectly reasonable moves, however we have seen these features in a...
Improved cooling potential, Petite mid-tower frame, USB Type-C connectivity, Three good-quality 140mm fans included, Addressable RGB lighting, if that's your thing, Good build quality throughout
Front fascia an acquired taste, Not as quiet as Pure Base 500, No reset button or HDD LED
be quiet! has quickly followed-up on last year's Pure Base 500 with an airflow-optimised model designed to address both consumer and reviewer feedback.Dubbed the Pure Base 500DX and priced at £90, the new variant is aimed squarely at those who liked t...
Apart from a couple of niggles such as longer Velcro being needed for the cable anchors and few slightly cramped areas inside the chassis, Be Quiet! has nailed it with the Pure Base 500DX. We love the design, it's different, the lighting is funky and easi...

Abstract: Are PC first impressions important? It all depends on the PC. For a pre-built desktop system sitting in an office, a plain black or beige chassis tells you all you need-and probably, want-to know. (Yawn, you're a bore.) For a custom-made computer, though...
