CdrInfo.com: be quiet! Pure Base 501 DX LX
be quiet! has a long tradition of presenting PC cases for all market categories, from entry-level up to the enthusiast level. Back in August 2024, be quiet! announced a "budget" friendly PC case, the Pure Base 501 series with useful features and at a compact size. This product earned our Best Buy award for the features/look and of course retail price. However, the Pure Base 501 lacks some features, that users may need like only two 120mm fans and no ARGB lighting. be quiet! comes to save the party with the introduction of the 501 DX / LX series that covers those two "weaknesses" and adds more to the mix.
