be quiet! Pure Base 501: Stylish, functional, and quiet
The Pure Base 501 is a compact midi tower designed for minimal noise operation thanks to its simple design and pre-installed sound insulation. It also provides ample space for your hardware and supports the installation of multiple radiators simultaneously.
The case offers excellent options for powerful yet quiet cooling solutions. Three 120mm or two 140mm fans can be mounted at the front, the top has space for two 140mm or 120mm models, and a 140mm or 120mm fan can also be mounted at the rear.
The Pure Base 501 comes with two pre-installed 140mm Pure Wings 3 fans, one at the front and one at the back of the case. The Pure Base 501 accommodates CPU coolers up to 178 millimetres in height.
It also considers the installation of custom and all-in-one water cooling solutions. The front is suitable for a 360mm or 280mm radiator, while a 240mm heat exchanger can be installed in the top, and a 140mm or 120mm model can be accommodated at the rear.
Thoughtful design with high functionality
Under the power supply cover, alongside 180mm long power supplies, two 3.5-inch drives and one 2.5-inch drive can find shelter 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 fit on the SSD bracket at the back of the motherboard tray. The case allows for a maximum graphics card length of 368 millimetres.
The be quiet! Pure Base 501 features a smooth and minimalist appearance. The I/O panel of the midi tower is located at the top of the front cover and includes a power button, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port, and a combined headphone and microphone jack.
