Manual of product Pure Base 500
Editorial note
The Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 stands out with its modern and sleek design in black and red, complemented by a tempered glass side panel that showcases the internal components. This polished aesthetic is paired with excellent heat management, thanks to the ability to install multiple fans, ensuring effective cooling for most setups. However, this case has some drawbacks. The lack of a power supply included means that users will need to invest more to complete their setup, which can diminish the perceived value of the product. Additionally, its weight of 7530 g can make installation trickier, especially for those looking for a lighter solution. Furthermore, the limited number of Type A USB ports may restrict connectivity for modern devices, and cable management can be complicated due to the internal design, thus affecting aesthetics and airflow. In terms of user experience, the Pure Base 500 offers a good level of satisfaction, with intuitive features such as an easily accessible power button. Despite some limitations, this case remains a solid option for those looking to combine performance and design in their setup.Score details
