The be quiet! Pure Base 600 is aimed at the purists out there. There are no colored elements or a front door, just a clean and understated design. However, do not let that fool you as the chassis offers excellent liquid-cooling capability and a great amount of storage flexibility, all while being quiet, especially thanks to the built-in fan controller.

"The front panel is made of plastic, but has a brushed surface to mimic that of aluminum. In the rear, everything is where you would expect it to be. You may notice that there are no unnecessary or dated openings -"

Something I don't like in quite a few case designs is the perforated PCI slot covers and the perforations in the case adjacent to them.
To me they are just openings for the ingress of dust and do nothing to assist with positive air pressure.
While this is a nice looking case, it looks like it needs more height above the Motherboard for those that insist on Liquid cooling, and for me at least, orange accents on the front.

Not impressed.

I would rather pick up a Nanoxia CoolForce 1 or Deep Silence 1 Rev. B. case over this tbh.

I think the real reason behind all those massive cut outs is to reduce weight, the engineers at those companies receive a bonus when they get more ideas to reduce weight
