be quiet! Pure Base 501 DX White Case ATX - BGW77

be quiet! Pure Base 501 DX White is a middle tower case, aimed at more serious gaming and work configurations, without going into absurd high-end. It supports ATX, mATX and Mini ITX motherboards and has enough space for powerful graphics cards up to 368 mm, so you can comfortably consider thicker and longer GPUs. The tempered glass provides a good view of the components, and it comes out of the box with three Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM White fans for decent airflow right from the start. The white color and clean design are a plus if you are aiming for a tidy and bright build.

What you get

With the three included 140 mm Pure Wings 3 PWM fans – one at the front, top, and rear – the case is ready for normal airflow without buying additional fans right from the start. The options for a total of up to 2 x 140 / 2 x 120 mm on top, 2 x 140 / 3 x 120 mm at the front and 1 x 140 / 1 x 120 mm at the rear give you the freedom to adjust the flow depending on whether you are chasing lower GPU or CPU temperatures. A maximum cooler height of 178 mm means that you can use a serious air cooler, and the length for graphics cards up to 368 mm covers almost all modern massive GPUs. With up to 2 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots, you have space for a large HDD archive plus several SSDs for the system, games, and work.

• Case form factor Middle Tower, which supports ATX, mATX and Mini ITX motherboards for flexibility in platform choice.
• Tempered glass side panel, which allows you to show off components, cooling, and cable management, without sacrificing durability.
• Factory included 3 x Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM White fans (front, top, rear) for quiet and effective base airflow.
• Total possible fans: front 2 x 140 mm / 3 x 120 mm, top 2 x 140 mm / 2 x 120 mm, rear 1 x 140 mm / 1 x 120 mm for easy scaling of cooling.
• Support for graphics cards up to 368 mm length and air CPU coolers up to 178 mm height — enough space for a serious gaming or workstation build.
• Storage: 2 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots, which is convenient if you combine large HDDs for volume with several SSDs for fast access.
• Modern front I/O with 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.2 Type A and HD Audio, so that you do not constantly rely on the rear panel of the motherboard.
• Support for power supplies up to 200 mm, without an included PSU, so you can choose your PSU yourself according to the configuration's needs.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you are planning a mid-range to high-end gaming or productive machine with more serious air or hybrid cooling and want a quiet, tidy system with visible components. It is also a good choice if you need more space for SSDs and several large HDDs. If you are chasing extreme custom water loops with many radiators, you might need a larger case, but for most builds this case is more than sufficient.

The combination of three 140 mm PWM fans, spacious interior for long GPUs and high CPU coolers, plus a glass panel and modern I/O ports makes the Pure Base 501 DX White a very balanced base for a clean, functional, and quiet build.
