Verdict
be quiet! Pure Base 501
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid, unfussy silent case for people who want lower noise more than they want RGB or max airflow.
Corsair Frame 4000D
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A smart idea for anyone who isn't sure whether they want mesh or glass yet, though it's a premium over the regular 4000D Airflow for the same base performance.
