be quiet! Pure Base 501 Unveiled at Gamescom 2024

be quiet! just unveiled their latest mainstream PC case series at Gamescom 2024. If you’re at the show, in Cologne, you can check them out in person from August 21st to 25th. The Pure Base 501 follows in the footsteps of the extremely successful and award-winning Pure Base 500 series, proving that simplicity can be exciting: useful features and a compact size make Pure Base 501 perfect for any gaming or office PC.

Pure Base 501 is aimed at users who are looking for a very flexible case with compact dimensions and who appreciate a timeless, traditional design without ARGB features. The case supports motherboards with ATX, micro-ATX or Mini-ITX form factor and cooling is handled by two Pure Wings 3 140 mm PWM fans in the front and rear of the case. Water cooling radiators are supported up to 360 mm and Pure Base 501 supports optional vertical graphics card installation.

A decoupled double HDD cage is included for versatile storage options and the clever cable routing design keeps the interior tidy. Like its predecessor, Pure Base 501 is available in several versions: for maximum silence, the case is available in a black version with a closed front and steel side panel. Versions aimed at maximum airflow, with a mesh front and with or without windows side panel, are available in black or white. The cases are scheduled for a release in November and come with a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
