Pure Base 501 LX White mid-tower case

The be quiet! Pure Base 501 LX in white is a mid-tower chassis built from steel, ABS and a tempered glass side panel. It accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and ships with four 120 mm fans installed at the front and rear. The clean white finish suits system builders who want a quiet, well-ventilated enclosure for a modern gaming or workstation build.

Upgrade from cramped or poorly ventilated cases

The case replaces older enclosures that limit radiator length or graphics card clearance. It supports a 360 mm radiator at the front, a 240 mm radiator at the top and a 140 mm radiator at the rear, so liquid-cooling upgrades become straightforward. The jump is worth it when a build needs more fan mounts, longer GPU headroom or a full glass side panel for component visibility.

Capacity and headroom for high-end components

Two 3.5 inch bays and five 2.5 inch bays provide room for multiple storage drives. Graphics cards up to 368 mm fit comfortably, while CPU coolers up to 178 mm tall clear the side panel. Power supplies up to 200 mm long are supported. Builds requiring more than seven expansion slots or radiators larger than 360 mm will need a larger chassis.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 368 mm GPU limit and 178 mm CPU cooler height give me for large cards and towers?

The case accepts graphics cards up to 368 mm long and CPU coolers up to 178 mm tall, so most triple-fan GPUs and large air towers will fit without hitting the side panel or drive cages.

How do I mount the pre-installed 120 mm fans if I want to switch to 140 mm fans at the front, rear and top?

Remove the four 120 mm fans, align the 140 mm units with the wider mounting holes on the front, rear and top brackets, then secure each with the supplied screws; the front panel lifts off for easier access.

When should I clean the dust filters on the front, top and bottom intakes?

Vacuum or rinse the magnetic front and top filters and the slide-out bottom filter every three to six months, or sooner if airflow noise rises, to keep the pre-installed 120 mm fans running efficiently.
