be quiet! Pure Base 501 Airflow Window White Case ATX - BGW75

be quiet! Pure Base 501 Airflow Window White is a middle tower case aimed at mid-range to serious gaming and work configurations, where good airflow and silence are important. It supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, giving you the freedom for various builds – from more compact to full-fledged gaming systems. The tempered glass side panel showcases the hardware without sacrificing strength. It already comes with 2 included fans, so you can start your configuration without additional investments and gradually enhance the cooling.

What you get

The interior is spacious enough for more serious hardware – space for a graphics card up to 368 mm allows you to install a long GPU without compromise. A CPU cooler up to 178 mm means you can comfortably mount taller, more efficient air coolers. With up to 2 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots, you have plenty of options for a combination of fast SSD for the system and large HDD for games or archiving. Power supplies up to 200 mm fit without any problem, opening the door for more powerful PSUs with modular cables and more convenient cable management. The I/O panel with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and two USB 3.2 Type A provides quick front access for flash drives, external SSDs, headphones, and microphones.

• Comes with 2 included fans, so you have basic, working air cooling right from the start.

Who it is suitable for

This case is a good choice for a gaming ATX build with a powerful graphics card, as well as for a semi-professional workstation with many drives. It is suitable if you want to balance between airflow, silence, and a clean appearance with tempered glass. If you are aiming for an ultra-compact ITX system or extreme custom water cooling with huge radiators, you may need an even more specialized case.

The combination of good airflow, space for long GPUs, tall CPU coolers, and modern front ports makes the Pure Base 501 Airflow a stable base for a serious build that you can comfortably upgrade in the coming years.
