Case be quiet! Pure Base 600 Window Black - BGW21

be quiet! Pure Base 600 Window Black (BGW21) is a middle tower case aimed at more serious gaming and work configurations, without entering extreme high-end. It supports standard motherboard formats ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX, giving you freedom in choosing your platform. The side panel is made of tempered glass, allowing you to showcase the hardware and cable management. The internal space is generous – accommodating a graphics card up to 425 mm and an air cooler up to 165 mm, so most current GPU and CPU air coolers will fit without drama.

What you get

The case comes with 2 included fans, providing basic airflow right out of the box – enough for a starter build that you can later upgrade with more fans. The cooling options are quite generous: up to 2 x 120 / 2 x 140 mm in the front, up to 3 x 120 / 2 x 140 mm on top, and 1 x 120 mm at the back, allowing you to easily balance between quiet and more aggressive airflow depending on the components. With 3 x 3.5" and 8 x 2.5" slots, you have space for a serious mix of HDD and SSD – from massive storage for games and projects to separate drives for OS, scratch, and archive. Two 5.25" slots allow you to install an optical drive, fan controller, or additional front panel for I/O, if needed. The power supply is mounted at the bottom and can be up to 210 mm, which covers most powerful PSUs; it comes without a power supply unit, so you can choose a model according to your configuration.

• Middle tower form factor with support for ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards, providing flexibility for various builds – from compact to more serious gaming machines.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, showcasing the hardware and RGB, if you decide to focus on aesthetics.
• Rich cooling options: front 2 x 120 / 2 x 140 mm, top 3 x 120 / 2 x 140 mm and back 1 x 120 mm, allowing good airflow for powerful GPU and CPU.
• 2 included fans, so the case is ready to go right from the start, without the need to immediately buy additional fans.
• 3 x 3.5" and 8 x 2.5" slots, providing ample space for a combination of HDD for storage and SSD for quick access to games and applications.
• 2 x 5.25" slots for optical drives or additional front modules, useful if you value legacy hardware or hardware fan control.
• Support for graphics cards up to 425 mm and CPU coolers up to 165 mm, allowing the use of large GPUs and massive air coolers without space issues.
• Bottom-mounted PSU up to 210 mm for better center of gravity and cleaner internal airflow.
• Front I/O with 2 x USB 3.2 Gen. 1 and 3.5 mm jack, providing quick access for peripherals and headphones on the desk.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you are building a mid-range to more serious gaming or work build with plenty of storage – for example, for gaming, video editing, or productivity with many local projects. It is also a good choice if you prefer a cleaner look with a transparent panel but do not want a huge full tower. If you are aiming for an ultra-compact ITX system or an extreme custom water loop with large radiators, there are likely more specialized solutions available.

The most sensible aspect here is the combination of spacious interior, rich cooling options, and huge disk capacity, all packed into a tidy middle tower with tempered glass. It gives you a lot of freedom to upgrade your system over time without worrying about changing the case.
