be quiet! Pure Base 500DX Case Review

It seems affordable high airflow cases are all the rage lately. The last two cases we’ve reviewed have been high airflow and we liked them quite a bit. The Pure Base 500DX came out last year and we did not have a chance to review it so with it in the lab it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against some of the latest cases a year later. This mid tower case features a mesh front for high airflow, three included Pure Wings 2 140mm cooling fans, a tempered glass side panel, and even some RGB lighting. Let’s take a look and see what it is all about!

Special thanks to be quiet! for providing the Pure Base 500DX Case to review.
