The German manufacturer be quiet! is expanding its portfolio with the new Pure Base 501 case series, appealing to users who are looking for an elegant and functional PC case for gaming or office PCs. The series impresses with its compact dimensions, flexible installation options and advanced cooling options and offers either low-noise or airflow-optimized operation.
- Flexible and compact: Space for ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX mainboards; high graphics card and cooler support.
- Individual cooling options: Two pre-installed, quiet 140mm Pure Wings 3 fans; additional fans or radiators can be installed.
- Wide range of variants: Available with closed or mesh front, optional window and in black or white.
- Optimized cable management: Integrated cable routing ensures order and easy installation.
Efficient cooling and optimized airflow
The Pure Base 501 cases are designed for efficient cooling and quiet operation. Be quiet! relies on two Pure Wings 3 fans, which ensure optimum airflow and quiet operation at the front and rear. Thanks to aerodynamically optimized fan blades, the air is effectively distributed in the case, reducing turbulence and achieving high cooling performance with minimal noise. The case supports a total of up to three case fans or large radiators up to 360 mm in size.
For high-end setups, the cases also offer space for large CPU coolers and support graphics cards with vertical installation, which is interesting for users who not only want to cool their hardware optimally, but also want to present it visually. The Airflow models are available in black or white and with an optional window, which offers additional design options.
Compact design and versatile options
The Pure Base 501 is aimed at users who value a classic and minimalist design without RGB features. The case is compact and still offers enough space for powerful components. The models are suitable for mainboards with ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form factors and feature a double HDD cage, which has been mounted decoupled to reduce vibrations and flexibly adjust the storage space.
Another plus point is the intelligent cable management: The cable routing in the Pure Base 501 ensures that cables can be laid neatly and efficiently inside the case, which not only optimizes the airflow, but also makes installation easier and gives the overall appearance a tidy look.

The Pure Base 501 case is available in various versions, which differ in terms of front design and color scheme:
