I would like to point out here, that if you were looking at buying the light wings fans from be quiet originally, buying this product (which has 3 120mm and 1 140mm already included) is essentially the same cost as buying the fans on their own. Currently, the case can be bought for $120 (apparently its retail is supposed to be $150). A 3-pack of light wings PWM 120mm fans + a single 140mm would cost $110. Basically, you're getting a case FOR 10 DOLLARS. I was originally planning on buying six of the 120mm light wing fans for my own build since they are very high quality fans with a tasteful splash of RGB. But that would run me about $160, if I spend a couple extra bucks, I can get all those fans plus a case upgrade. Definitely take advantage of this sooner rather than later, because if the price of the case goes up to its retail price of $150, it's obviously a lesser value proposition.

I think you need to change the lighting a little for cases. When it stand flat you can't really see the inside. Maybe a led panel lighting it from the underside. the set looks amazing though

I'm happy with the BeQuiet case I bought last year. The fans that came with the case were quiet and cool, but then I did replace them with the BeQuiet Light Wing fans for the lights and they were as quiet and as cool. Great fans.

I have the DX case with all 5 Pure Wings 2 fans and it is incredibly good. I love how much air it moves, how cool, and yah it is quiet. Love this case. I run a 5800 and 3080. It is sitting on my desk about 18-24" away and can't hear it. While gaming, barely hear it. Tune the fan curve, undervolt, and keep temps down. Perfect for me.

I chose this non-RGB version for a budget build, and was absolutely blown away by the quality, features, focus (no token 120mm fans, just focuses on 140mm airflow focus), and value for just a hair over $100. Great choice for focusing on this awesome, and underrated case!

Ive been looking for several weeks now for a new case. Im really glad you posted this cause I think...I think Im in love with it.

Luv the new set feel. One request, the lighting when showing a case is a bit weak. Could barely make out the inside of the case until you tipped it back. Case is interesting but I recently moved into a Hyte Y60 so it will be a bit before I try another. BeQuiet is probably on the short list for future cases.

I used the 500DX for my first build in along time and i enjoy it alot. thanks to guys like you that make video's on building computers I was able to build mine. last time i built a computer was 98 if that tells you anything. Thanks guys.

I’m glad they are finally making this a more attractive case. I bought my pure base 500 before the dx was introduced. I was not really happy that the dx front panel cost as much as the entire case and I would have to give up a USB port to make the lights work. So I got a dremel and made my own. Salvaged the mesh from a Rosewell Thor v2 a friend gave me and an ultimate air flow case. The case would bake the components before, but now with a mesh front and a 200mm fan pushing air in on the backside, no issues. It would look better if I got all black noctua fans instead of the brown, but those hadn’t come out yet either. Oh well it looks pretty good and cools like crazy.

I have the DX version and absolutely love the case! Great design and works with my computer's theme. Thanks for sharing this version Jay!

This has become my favorite case series, my first was the basic Pure Base 500, but then when I made 2 new PCs (I'm addicted to building PCs, not gambling or drinking, don't bully) I used the 500DX cause of the window and meshed front, then when I made a media PC to attach to my tv assembled from spare parts I bought a white pure base 500 window (non DX, but with window, but original front panel). I also coupled it with the cooler master MasterLiquid PL240 Flux 240mm rad since that one fits in the top part. Such a good case.

I bought this in mid August for my building this winter. Haven't opened it yet, but everything I'm seeing has been positive. So I am encouraged.

Hey Jay, I've recently build in this case and I totally agree with you, it rocks! The fans were also a great value point for me. I used the removable logo piece to route my GPU power cables, since the power connectors for my 6900XT are right below that point.

Just ordered 2. Thanks Jay.

I bought a 500DX in white for my kid and it's such and easy case to build in and cable manage. I put phantek fans in it because I had them laying around and wanted rgb.

Happy to see this case, I been looking at this case for my sons build

Once again, thank you Jay for you video on 500DX! It helped me very much when I was choosing the PC case.

I still like my Pure Base 500DX. Did a full custom loop in it, and also converted the ARGB header to Corsair for iCUE use. Did the same with the Phanteks diffused strips

Sounds way better in the new low ceiling space. Also very nice rgb lighting in back. Very Impressed Jay & Co I am.

I'm so happy I found out about be quiet before building my pc I have that case (without the RGB fans) and I love it. Never gets hot (could be because I'm running a 3050 and i3-12100)

GREAT review. I bought this case and have most components, just waiting for i9-13900KF and mobo and ram, and now I know how I'll be setting up cooling. Great info.

Super helpful. Just found this video before ordering 500 DX :) Now for sure will order 500 FX

One of my favorite things about this channel is the cackling in the backround everytime jay makes a joke/pun followed by the quick cut 🤣

I picked up a Pure Base 500 a couple of years ago... very satisfied with the case.

This case reminds me a lot of the Corsair 4/5000D airflow, which is a great thing! same kinda triangular mesh, dust filters and stuff. I've had 2 or 3 BeQuiet! cases in my life and they have all been brilliant, this will probably be too. Would love to see this compared to the Meshify S2 case (even though that doesnt have RGB).

Thanks for this review. I just re-spec'd my build sheet, replacing a Fractal case with this one. Your comments re the included fans, had 10 ton to do with that decision.

Def a good case. I have the older none FX version. Not over priced, the fans are nice, and for the most part the lay works really well.

Still rocking my white 500DX and it's still one of my favourite cases I've ever owned. As far as value for what you get it's very hard to beat.

I ordered this case and it came with a broken fan, be quiet got a replacement in the mail same day so overall positive experience so far

Keep the content coming..great stuff

It's good the see the variety of what's coming out. Also, what new technologies or ways the companies are improving their designs. I have the Dark Base Pro 900 Rev 2, and i really like it.

I purchased the white model. Love the airflow. All my components are black in combination with the white case gives off a Stormtrooper vibe.

I never thought the day would come, I watch a video of you and be like... hey, that's what I have! This case is actually the one I use (got a new computer about 1 week ago) and I didn't even see your first review of it. So now I'm even more happy about my decision!

Was able to get this for 99€. No regrets. Ended up setting up my 120mm AiO with push+pull in the back and switching the preinstalled 140mm Light Wings fan to the top. Good way to suck out the hot air that my Vega 56 produces. Ryzen 3800X at 4,3GHz and 1.28V doesn't exceed 75°C under 100% load.

I love the Purebase 600 black case. Lots of room and space for a DVD drive for those who still need that. No RGB nonsense.

I love my 500DX, but if I was to build new today, I'd probably opt for the FX. Lovely.

Love the reviews. But the new set is to dark, i feel like im missing alot of case details.

What a great case. Love it

Iv`e had a DarkBase 900 Quiet for a few years now, humongous case, most mid towers would fit inside it...absolutley massive...love it :)

I purchased the Black Pure Base 500DX and 4 120mm Light Wings fans and use a 240 AIO.The fans are really nice quality and very quiet.

I had that case, worked great! Looks good too.

I have one ..with the extra fans its fantastic for a great price. Good case review. BEquiet rules.

audio in that room is awesome keep the room like it is dont change much in it

If the case also had a fanspeed button for setting 1 2 3 or pwm like the Be Quiet 802 has, it would be perfection.

Wow I love the way this case looks. My current (and first) PC case is the Thermaltake Core V21. It's a good fit for my desk. If (or when) I build a new rig I am definitely keeping this case in mind.

I'm going to build in this case this Saturday. One of my friends wanted to upgrade his 1600x so suggested a 5600x (witch he bought) new (faster) ram. I also suggested to upgrade his old 30 euro Sharcoon case and he picked this one (like earlier today)

BeQuiet, Fractal and Noctua are my go-to's. They all make good stuff.

Thanks. A comparison with Silent Base 802 would be awesome.

a note on the HDD cage, you can put it in 2 positions, i use this case with the cage and the 360 fx aio.

Built a pc for a friend in this case, fitting a 360 aio in Front with Push pull and a 3080 was no problem

Love the new set!

I'm still using the Carbide Series 500R Mid-Tower Case which came out over 10 years ago, still holding strong thanks to your recommendation of the Lian-li fans.

It looks awesome!

I still have my Be Quiet 900 Pro here as my personal computer and I love it. I think if I had to change the case one day I would probably go with Be Quiet again. Cheers

Pretty sweet Jay!

I bought the silent base 802 and replaced all the fans with light winds because they look great and move air so well

For the love of god, Be Quiet really needs to sell that RGB and fan controller separately! They don't even have it for sale in their spare parts catalog :(

I really like this case. Something about it feels classy with a splash of the 40’s or something in its design. Especially the white one, which of course does not come with all the neat fans.

I have the 500DX and I love it!

Using this case as I type in my rig right now! Love it! The bequiet fans are amazing. only thing that makes noise is my 3070ti evga fans when they start up lol

The perfect case for my fx system

I brought the pure base 500 and then ordered the extra parts from them directly when they came out. BeQuiet! are an awesome company. I also got a glass side panel that I didn't get originally, so if you just want a shell to put your PC in and then upgrade it to an awesome case, BeQuiet! is the way to go. I can confirm the airflow front panel makes your PC quieter as the fans don't need to spin as fast to move as much air. My PC's noise is below ambient noise floor, unless I'm gaming, in which case you can only hear the old RX 570 fans. I just wish they had a metal top panel for exhaust, that matches the air flow cut outs underneath vs having no top panel.

My case and PSU are both BeQuiet and they are ridiculously nice.

Hey jay, with all the new interesting cases and such coming have you thought about putting together a top 10 or something like on what cases are the best for custom water cooling loops?

I have got the basic Pure Base 500 in red. without any rgb. I love it :) I got it last minute before dissapearing from the internet (official resellers). very happy :)

After asking I have learned that I can buy the 500DX front panel with or without LED for my Pure Base 500 for about $45us. they required a serial number of my case to make sure it would work. be-quiet! is pretty good

i reckon that sound dampening is actually quite nice. otherwise any vibrations in the case could cause the managed cables to rattle between two metal surfaces. this way it has deadening on one side! also huge props to bequiet for the captive thumb screws. needs to be shouted out as it is a huge quality of life improvement

I have a Silverstone Primera PM-01 case, Ryzen build, with 2 BeQuiet! 140mm fans at top (all on air), which is a total of 6 fans, and I couldn't be happier. I comment because if I consider building a new "Next Gen" system, I was very much considering a BeQuiet! case with open mesh front, like my Silverstone Case, which in terms of thermals, delivers excellent results. Good to see this video, and thank you!

Oh what a coincidence, I already bought it a few weeks ago. Bought it with x2 additional Light Wings 120mm for the top. Currently collecting parts for a full build upgrade.

I paid 100€ for the Pure Base 500 Dx and another 120€ on 6 Light wing Fans when they came out. Its nice to see that you can now gat the Case with 4 Fans for just 110€.

I might buy this case today! 🔥

I bought 3 140mm high speed & 3 120mm high speed light wings after seing your review, i'm happy with my purchase, thanks Jay ;)

Thank You, well done

I use front panel audio on all of my systems (6 of them) and I have zero crackling or any issues whatsoever. Audio sounds exactly the same as it does from the rear ports. There's no interference at all.

I love the new set design

PB 500... great case.. custom loop with 1 360rad and 1 240rad... works perfectly. with an x570 rox strix and alphacool rads and ek pump / blocks

I just built my dad a PC in the 500DX, (which incidentally is what you would buy if you didn't want the lightwings fans, they come with silentwings). A few quick thoughts from that build: 1) the ROG Strix 3070ti I put in barely fit, and basically forced my 240mm AIO to a top rack mounting because routing the tubes from the bottom of the rad became impossible (reminder, don't put your tubes at the top of a rad). 2) The top mount AIO meant that I was partially obstructing the top row of connectors from my Mobo, so I had to assemble it first, then add the AIO last. Also, there was a bit of overlap from the AIO and the rear exhaust fan. It's not a problem for airflow, but it IS an order of operations & an aesthetics thing so best to share that info here. 3) You cant REALLY tell from these views, but there is inner lip mounted RGB strip on the inside of the case that illuminates it. 4) This FX option is awesome because the DX version does NOT have a motherboard controlled RGB integration for something like SignalRGB, so you have to use/coordinate RGB with the push button on the DX's case. 5) I suspect the RGB controller/hub is the same that I have in my BeQuiet802 and it's great. That is all! Great video Jay!

It’s a very good case! Finally something that looks good out of the box. I only have two complains. It’s a pity that you cannot mount 2 more 120mm fans on top of the psu compartment for more airflow into the gpu and there are no cable holes on the side of the motherboard with grommets (like some Corsair and Antec cases). Also cherry on top it would be good an airflow access on the bottom of the back pannel with a dust filter. If there is case like this, I would buy it today 😄

It will fit an E-ATX board if you remove the vertical drive tray. I have a ASUS WRX80E SAGE in mine and it works very well. The screw hole for the vertical drive tray even lines up with hole in the motherboard to aid mounting.

I think the only case I'd move to now, is the Singularity case, but the BeQuiet! case looks really nice, and yeah love their fans.

I went for Be Quiet Silent Base 802, 3 140mm light wings high performance for intake and placed nzxt x73 on top. Only one word to describe performance and noise is "Perfect" :D Highly recommend fans

Jay... as a guy who has been running an FX-8120 for the last bunch of forevers, that quip at 13:35 kind of hurt me a bit. But fear not! I'm finally getting an AM4 system up and running on the weekend!

My Tuff Gaming case didn't come with fancy fans just 3 simple argb fans in the front and a 140 bland fan in the rear but they are still going and silent after years of use, outlived and a year ago were used to replace the thermaltake fans that came with the aio I bought for the build. I put corsair ql 120s in the front. Now the thermaltake is up for a full replacement by a corsair h150i elite lcd 360 aio tomorrow as the thermaltake can't handle the temps off the 5800x I installed.

Still rockin my Corsair 780T, have had like three or four systems in it.

I have this case and could be happier with it. it's comfortable to work with, rather silent and the RGB's are beautiful

I have this case and an atx mobo does fit. Got it paired with the pure loop 240 fx from be quiet! on the top side. Only complaint maybe is the psu space, watch out with bigger psu's

I was going to get this, but everyone was telling me not to get it so I got the ThermalTake P6 people told me not to get that one either, but Im glad I did

im doing a case swap to this verry soon im quite excited

@JayzTwoCents The access hole actually is for routing the cables for the SSDs which are mounted on the front of the bracket. Open it up to install the cables, close it to hide them. That bracket also basically is my only beef with this case. In my opinion you need to install 2 2,5" drives on there in order for it to look ok. Otherwise the screw holes just look out of place.

magnificent magnet reference

I grabbed one of these for $120 during their release sale. I instantly put the RGB fans in my white 500 DX.

Keep the case reviews coming!

Phil's laugh is infectious.

I recently (June) built a desktop with a Corsair 4000X RGB. I took all the case fans, the AIO and extra fan I bought for the back in the commander pro. It worked perfectly. I do believe your experience when you dealt with a lot of Corsair stuff but mine was easy for this one build. Also I am SO disappointed in Corsair that they put one off fans in this case. Its annoying. Can't wait for the new stuff to come out.

I bought this case on clearance (had some small damage) and i was massivly impressed by it

One thing I was disappointed in my current build is that I could not get a be quiet! case when I built it, since I am considering building a home server this may be the excuse I needed to buy this case with a few extra Light Wings fans and transfer my system in it.

Great case BeQuiet!

Thanks for pointing out that Corsair commander pro doesn't just work with any fans , I learned this the hard way , after hours of trouble shooting all the fans commander pro and 2 cores I came to the conclusion that you have to have all the fans the same model otherwise it doesn't work properly, iCue should have a setting where you could select the model for each fan but that's not the case, so if you have some RGB SP fans and bought yourself some expensive LL fans guess what it won't work properly so you will have to fork out more LL fans and sell your SP case fans maybe! Anyway my build is done now, I always loved this case and I build a pc on it for a friend, I thought about getting it at the time...if this RGB model had existed back then I would definitely buy it !

Bought this case last year, I love everything other than the way it looks 😂
