Packaging

The be quiet! chassis ships in a brown cardboard box with a simple outline of the Pure Base 500 FX on front and a blow-up diagram next to some marketing text on the rear. Both sides dive into the details of the enclosure with more text and a specification table.


The Pure Base 500 FX is held in place by compact Styrofoam spacers, and a plastic bag has been applied to keep away fingerprints and protect against scratches at the factory. An additional foam element acts as a protective spacer for the rear expansion slots.

You will get an assorted set of screws and some zip ties with the chassis. A detailed manual has also been included, but unlike the Pure Base 500, but in line with what we have seen with the DX variant, the FX, lacks that optional top cover and only ships with the mesh variant pre-installed.
