Product overview

Announced on September 3, 2019, the Pure Base 500 is be quiet!’s compact ATX mid‑tower in the Pure Base family. It targets the budget tier: an affordable, silence‑oriented chassis for builders who want clean looks and flexible airflow options.

Fit is the focus: ATX/mATX/Mini‑ITX support, 369 mm GPU clearance, 190 mm air‑cooler height, and radiator mounts up to 360 mm front/240 mm top, with an ATX PSU shroud. Two 140 mm fans, sound‑damped panels, simple 2× USB‑A front I/O, and mounts for up to 2× 3.5‑in HDDs plus 5× 2.5‑in SSDs make it well‑suited to quiet or cost‑conscious systems, while the tempered‑glass window shows off hardware. Unique: its exchangeable top cover (solid or high‑airflow mesh) lets you tune for silence vs airflow without changing cases.

Best for
  • quiet builds
  • budget builds
  • airflow builds
  • water cooling/radiators
  • high GPU clearance
