be quiet! Pure Base 501: Stylish, functional, and quiet
The Pure Base 501 is a compact mid-tower designed for as quiet operation as possible thanks to its simple design and pre-installed sound insulation. It also offers ample space for your hardware and supports the installation of multiple radiators simultaneously. Its tempered glass side panel allows a clear view of your installed components.
The case offers excellent options for powerful yet quiet cooling solutions. At the front, three 120mm or two 140mm fans can be installed; the top has space for two 140mm or 120mm models, and at the rear, a 140mm or 120mm fan can also be mounted. The mesh front panel additionally ensures optimal airflow for your components.
Out of the box, the Pure Base 501 comes with two pre-installed 140-millimetre Pure Wings 3 fans: one at the front and one at the rear of the case. The Pure Base 501 supports CPU coolers up to 178 millimetres in height.
Custom and all-in-one water cooling installations have also been considered. The front is suitable for a 360mm or 280mm radiator, while the top can accommodate a 240mm heat exchanger and the rear panel a 140mm or 120mm model.
Thoughtful design with high functionality
Under the power supply cover, alongside 180 millimetre long power supplies, there is space for two 3.5-inch drives and one 2.5-inch drive in a modular drive cage. Its decoupled installation reduces vibrations and enables quiet operation.
Two 2.5-inch drives can be installed on the SSD panel between the motherboard tray and the front, while two more 2.5-inch SSDs can be placed on the SSD bracket at the back of the motherboard tray. Graphics cards up to a length of 368 millimetres are supported.
The be quiet! Pure Base 501 offers a smooth and minimalist look. The mid-tower’s I/O panel is located at the top of the front cover and features, besides a power button, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB 3.1 Type-C port, and a combined headphone and microphone jack.
