FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pure Base 500: Compact and spacious PC case
be quiet! presents a highly functional ATX case at an attractive price point
Glinde,
September 3rd, 2019 - be
quiet!, the market leader in PC power supplies in Germany since 2007*,
announces Pure Base 500, an ATX PC chassis for price-conscious PC
builders. Despite its compact dimensions, the new case has enough room
for powerful hardware and packs attractive features, like an
interchangeable top cover and a mounting bracket designed to hold up to
two 2.5” SSDs in the main chamber. Pure Base 500 is the first
mass-produced case from be quiet! that comes in three base colors:
black, metallic gray and white.
Effective
cooling concept
Out of the box, Pure Base 500 is set up with a magnetically attached,
sound-insulated top cover, featuring air-exchange vents towards its
rear section. Pure Base 500 also includes an alternative, highly
air-permeable top cover designed to decrease temperatures for water
cooled builds using a radiator installed in the case’s top. Radiators
installed in the top section can be 120 or 240 millimeters long, while
the front holds radiators with a length of 120, 140, 240, 280 or even
360 millimeters. Pure Base 500 is shipped with two preinstalled Pure
Wings 2 140mm fans with a maximum speed of 900 RPM.
Compact,
yet spacious
Pure Base 500 is making the most use of the space dictated by its
compact size. With support for an ATX motherboard, graphics cards up to
369 millimeters, a CPU cooler up to 190 millimeters, and long
radiators, the case can house demanding gaming hardware using
appropriate cooling components. To provide ample storage mounting
options, Pure Base 500 uses a double HDD cage for up to two 3.5” drives
(or one 2.5” drive) hidden underneath the PSU shroud. Two additional
SSDs can be installed out of sight behind the motherboard tray, while
an SSD installation bracket in the case’s main chamber makes two more
SSDs the center of attention. In total, users can mount up to five
SSDs, or two HDDs and four SSDs at the same time. Power supplies can
measure up to 259 millimeters in length, however, if a longer radiator
is installed in the front, then the double HDD cage can slide a few
centimeters back, reducing the space for the PSU to 225 millimeters –
still providing more than enough room required by standard ATX power
supply units.
Sound
suppression and convenience
To ensure silent operation, the insides of the front panel, closed
window side panels and the default top cover are covered with
sound-insulating material. Cable management is simplified by Pure Base
500’s PSU shroud, included Velcro straps, and plenty of eyelets on the
back of the motherboard tray. The SSD panel also serves as a
passthrough for cables run from the back of the case to the motherboard
or to the graphics card, and is detachable to facilitate the
installation process. The PSU is easily installed with a removable
bracket in the rear of the case. The full-sized bottom dust filter is
easily removed by pulling it out from the front, without the need to
move or disassemble the PC. The left and right front air intakes
feature separate dust filters, while the bottom grip, used to remove
the front panel, is also protected with a dust filter. Depending on the
model, Pure Base 500 comes with a sound-insulated steel side panel or
tempered glass side panel in three base colors: black, metallic gray
and white. Specifically, the white and metallic gray versions of the
case feature a clear glass-windowed side panel, while the black Pure
Base 500 has a tinted windowed side panel.
Pure Base 500 will be available worldwide over the next few weeks at an
MSRP of $69.90 (Black), $79.90 (Black Window), $74.90 (Metallic Gray
and White), and $84.90 (Metallic Gray Window and White Window).
