Ero alla ricerca di un case Mesh di ottima qualità, con un buon Airflow e filtro antipolvere anche sul frontale (non facile da trovare), e dopo aver letto innumerevoli recensioni positive di questo e altri case, ho acquistato 2 Be Quiet! Pure Base 500dx nero, uno per me e l'altro per mio figlio.Il case è veramente di ottima qualità e te ne accorgi subito appena lo tocchi, i 3 filtri antipolvere sono di ottima fattura e rigidità, i particolari curati, lo spazio interno non è tantissimo, ma sufficiente per un buon cable management, è pur sempre un mid-tower e non full-tower, le ventole in dotazione (Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 140mm ) sono ottime, silenziose e spostano abbastanza aria, per entrambi i computer, le ho montate in exhaust (scarico), riuscendo anche a controllare la velocità con la modalità DC o PWM dal bios MSI oppure tramite MSI Center, nonostante siano ventole a 3 PIN, 1 Posteriore e 2 Top, mentre come intake (aspirazione) ho montate 3 ventole frontali da 120mm, 3 Cooler Master MF-120 Halo su quello di mio di mio figlio, io invece 2 Noctua NF-A 12X25 PWM + 1 Arctic P12 PWM che “soffia” verso il gabbiotto HDD, le temperature sono ottime e nonostante sia un case Mesh, il rumore è incredibilmente assente fino a 1200/1300 RPM, ma anche al massimo della velocità è appena percettibile e non risulta affatto fastidioso,considerando che parliamo di ben 6 ventole totali, sono più che soddisfatto.La striscia led interna e quella frontale hanno bisogno solo di un connettore SATA per l’alimentazione e nel caso la vostra piastra madre abbia un connettore ARGB 3 pin 5 volt, si possono cambiare gli effetti di luce via Software, noi usiamo MSI Mystic Light ed è perfettamente compatibile, in caso contrario, c’è il tastino frontale che permette di cambiare vari effetti in totale autonomia.In conclusione, non posso fare altro che consigliare a occhi chiusi questo bellissimo case, noi siamo pienamente soddisfatti sotto tutti gli aspetti.

I just assembled a dream rig in this case. Noise levels and near silent operation were most important to me in this build, but so was a more compact mid-tower form factor to fit under my desk. I've used BeQuiet!, Phanteks, and Lian Li before for my custom work builds, and this one came down to a choice between the Phanteks P500A and this 500DX. I went with this for its size, noise levels, and thermals. I was worried about losing some of the premium features from the Phanteks, but I was pleasantly surprised. This looks great, is the right size, and is whisper quiet.Specs:* Gigabyte Aorus Pro x570* AMD 5600X* Noctua NH-D15S Chromax.black* MSI 3080* 5x Arctic P14 PWM fans* BeQuiet Straight Power 11 850wGreat:* Outstanding build quality, fit and finish.* Optimal use of space inside. Compact but efficient.* Excellent noise levels.* Excellent thermals.Needs Work:* Once the motherboard is in--and especially with a chunky air cooler like the Noctua NH-D15S--things get really cramped in there quickly. The CPU power socket and the system fan pins in the upper left corner of the board are almost impossible to reach in this case. Even better if there were an extra 10-20 mils of height along the top edge of the motherboard.* The BeQuiet logo cable cover to the right of the motherboard needs work. It's so close to the ATX board and the opening is so narrow, it makes it nearly impossible to route the thick main motherboard power cable. I ended up shooting it straight out in a really awkward way that cannot be great for the cable.* Installing fans with the motherboard installed was nearly impossible. Lots of swearing and the purchase of a stubby philips head screw driver later, and they are finally in. Even better if the case had removable fan mounts that could be slid in once the fans were attached to the frame.* I'm having trouble controlling and syncing the RGB on the front with two Phanteks NEON Digital RGB strips. All are plugged into the mobo, but I can't find software that can control them both. I don't care enough to find a solution, though. I settled on a soft blue glow on the case and matched the strips using the Gigabyte RGB app. Since I don't change these ever it wasn't a big deal.One word to the wise: I purchased 5 Arctic P14 fans thinking the non-PWM Silent Wings that were included in the case weren't controllable (based on a previous experience with the non-DX 500 case a few years ago) or up to the task. I was wrong. This wasn't necessary and is totally overkill. In fact, I made it worse, not better, with regard to sound. The included fans were perfectly silent and up to the job.

This is an excellent case for those primarily using air cooling or a smaller AIO water cooling set up. Everything is largely well conceived, with filters in appropriate places and mostly easily accessible, and the stock set up of the fans is fine. This isn't a real "5-star" review because it should be possible to remove a half-star for some small annoyances that make so I can't give an unconditional recommendation.1. The case is unaccountably tight. I have a mATX board (an Asus ROG Strix B550-F). Quite a few times between the power supply shroud and the top of the case I had to drop it straight down because otherwise there was zero clearance. Yet, once I've finished building it, there's... all this space. Good for thermals and noise, I suppose. If you have a big video card AND a water cooling system then tubing, reservoir, radiator and tubing might give you claustrophobia.2. Cable management is a little weird. They really want you to route everything behind the mainboard tray and then have them pop out a series of gaps. Fine, but the back of the case has like...1.5" of clearance. There's padding to absorb noise and that cuts into the useful space back there. On the "front" you're kind of flapping in the wind. If you only have a single NVMe drive safely tucked away then it matters less, but routing a bunch of SATA cabling in this narrow space was a bit of a clown car.3. Minor annoyances: the front case is supposed to pop off if you pull it, and it requires an enormous amount of force. Lots of space for SATA SSDs, but without necessarily a ton of thought on how that cabling will get from the MB to the back where they are hiding on this case. Or you can mount them in the front of the little strip that has the BeQuiet! logo, but then your SATA cables are gonna be bending in wacky ways too. Maybe in a few years the USB-C port on the front will be useful, but as of this writing even with a $200 mainboard there's no header for it; could have used another standard USB port there. BeQuiet! could have made the case a few bucks more and given us another fan for better balancing of airflow.Otherwise it's a good case. Once you've got it set up and don't intend on messing with it then it just needs to sit there and be pretty and not make a ton of noise, which it does perfectly fine.

It is an awesome, super spacious and cable management is super easy. The RGB is great, fans are silent.One problem I had was connecting an 8-pin CPU cable in the top left, but it could just be the tower cooler I have. The case is really modular and you can take the top off but I couldn't figure out how and just spent 5 minutes struggling to plug it in. Also the front panel is a huge pain to take off. I felt like Eddie Hall when I finally got it off.Other than that, beautiful case, superb for the price and quality is awesome. One of the best cases I have ever built in.

Estoy satisfecho al 100% con este case, y es que ofrece el balance perfecto entre ofrecer suficiente suministro de aire para mantener tus componentes en temperaturas bajas, y al mismo tiempo ofreciendo puntos para mantener un nivel de ruido controlable y de limpieza, por medio de su panel trasero para absorber ruido y los filtros de aire.Otro punto positivo es su diseño interior, muy amigable y facil de llevarle el hilo en el acomodo de cables y ensamble de las piezas.Lo recomiendo 100%
