Dampened noise, first requirement. Lack of any "meshes".
White or light colour standard option with lowest price tag than the other colours - black or whatever.
I think
be quiet! Pure Base 500DX costs around the same price tag, and is millions times better overall.
Herausragend flexibel, performant und leise

Oh wow I guess one can really hide behind screens and say anything they love.
The initial criteria you outlined is commendable, but it might be beneficial to review the test results before making assertions, as it could potentially undermine credibility and make you look like a fool. In the noise test comparison, the GX registers at 45.3dBA under load, while the 500FX measures 47.6dBA. While acknowledging the distinction in fan quantity— 500DX with three and FX with four, but does a single fan variance truly translate to a significant reduction in noise, enough to warrant the claim of being 'millions times better overall'?
I just did some research the Pure500 is going for MSRP of 109.9 and from the review the sky two GX White is going for 95 and black for 89 hmm I guess a 20 bucks for you is around the same.
Million times better hmmm that got me wondered so I took a dive into both again. Considering the extensive market tenure of Be Quiet compared to Montech, one might assume the former is vastly superior, but is that truly the case? Upon closer inspection, the absence of a Type-C hub in the Pure 500 raises questions about its modern utility. Furthermore, the convenience offered by the swivel panel of the Sky Two GX, compared to the hassle of unscrewing screws and the risk of damaging the glass panel of the Pure 500, highlights differing preferences for ease of use versus meticulous assembly. Perhaps it's a matter of prioritizing quality of life over meticulous hardware handling. Probably you prefer the meticulous life.
Ultimately, it's frustrating to see baseless comments aimed at boosting one brand while disparaging another. Such actions often lack factual basis and serve only to sow discord.
