I would like to thank be quiet! for supplying the review sample.


The original Pure Base 500 DX, launched almost exactly five years ago, was one of the first cases from be quiet! which jumped on the RGB bandwagon, with illuminating strips built into the front cover. Now, half a decade later, be quiet! has refreshed the series with the Pure Base 501 DX. Even though it has been a while, this version takes the same body and incorporates a slew of modernizations as well as a few surprise details. Generally available in black and white, there is also the Pure Base 501 LX, which sports even more ARGB elements. This review takes a look at the be quiet! Pure Base 501 DX in black.
