The be quiet! Pure Base 501 Airflow Window is a compact yet feature-rich mid-tower ATX case designed for gaming and office builds. Despite its modest footprint (450mm x 231mm x 463mm), it efficiently accommodates high-end components including graphics cards up to 368mm in length and CPU coolers up to 178mm in height. The case features a high-airflow mesh front panel and comes pre-installed with two 140mm Pure Wings 3 PWM fans optimized for quiet operation with minimal turbulence.

The case supports flexible cooling configurations with room for up to three 120/140mm fans or a 360mm radiator at the front, and up to two 120/140mm fans or a 240mm radiator on top. A standout feature is the rotatable PCIe slot design, enabling vertical GPU mounting for showcase builds. The tempered glass side panel provides a clear view of internal components, while the front I/O panel includes modern connectivity: one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, and a combo audio jack. Cable management is simplified through thoughtfully integrated routing options.

The Pure Base 501 Airflow Window supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, accommodates ATX power supplies up to 180mm in length, and includes five 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch drive bays. The case is constructed from ABS plastic, steel, and features tinted tempered glass with black painted side bars for a professional appearance.
