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.

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A good budget alternative to premium dual-chamber showcase cases, though front airflow takes a hit from the all-glass front panel.
