Be Quiet BGW35 Midi PURE BASE 500 white Window, Black

I'm work in the creative industry, so I'm constantly on my computer using software that demands high load and therefore higher temperatures and noisy fans. My previous PC case and cooler was unbearable and after buying several other cases for better airflow and having no improvement i finally discovered this case.The BeQuiet Pure Base 500 lives up to its name. Its very quiet. Not only does this case look stunning. It's got plenty of room to build in, comes with 2 pure loop fans which are quiet even on high RPM and overall is perfect for my home setup. I've got a 360mm aio installed in the front and it's genuinely taken my experience with computers to the next level.The value for money is great, it was very easy to assemble and fits all my parts perfectly. Also leaves plenty of head room were you to top mount an aio which is a nice bonus.So to conclude, I doubt you will regret buying this. The case is everything you need for a peaceful gaming and work environment. Sure, it's not absolutely silent, no such PC components exist that are completely silent. But it's peacefully quiet and isn't in the slightest annoying.

This case is a little bit more expensive than I usually go for, but the difference in price was more than worth it. My previous case was a lot smaller and tended to run quite hot, so the fan noise was really annoying me. Hence the reason to look for a quieter solution. I opted for the version without the glass panel because it sits under my desk so no point getting any shiny lights. Also, having the solid panel version means you get more sound proofing.The case itself is well built, and all the parts of the case can be easily removed using the thumbscrews, apart from the front which just snaps off and on. if you don't have strong hands, or the screws are a little tight, you can use a screwdriver to loosen them. There's a nice feature where the screw stays in the hole after you've unscrewed it, so you can't lose them easily. You can remove the front cover and both sides, and the hard drive caddy, and there's a panel at the back so you can fit the PSU directly from the back instead of having to maneuver it through the components like other cases. This mean you can swap the PSU out without having to remove the cpu cooler, ram or graphics card.Cable management is really good on this case, most of the cables go neatly around the back, leaving the motherboard relatively clear of cabling. The only overlapping cable in my system is the graphics card power lead. I have M2 drives fitted so there are no power or SATA cables which makes it look a lot neater.After fitting my motherboard, I had to wait a few days my new CPU cooler to arrive which I also ordered on Amazon (a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition), but when it did arrive, it turns out you have to screw a plate to the underside of the motherboard. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a panel on the case under the motherboard that you can open up to access the rear of the CPU area, allowing you to fit the cooler mounting without having to disassemble the whole system again. Very handy indeed!My old system with mostly the same components used to sound like a jet plane taking off when under heavy load and the glass panel got really hot, but now even playing graphics heavy games with an overclocked Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, there is barely a whisper. I was concerned that the sound dampening material inside the case would mean more heat, but this does not seem to be a problem at all.Visually, the sleek white case is as good as it looks on the picture. Very happy with my purchase

I was looking for two things really. Noise reduction and a little more space to work in. I have small hands and still can't stand the fiddling I've had to deal with in 99% of all cases. They have done most of the cable management themselves for the front panel and fans. It was super easy to work in and it just looks great. The lights was an afterthought just because I thought the case interior looks good enough to highlight. The internal fans are dead quiet. It's brilliant. After my build the stock AMD fan was so loud for me I went with the be quiet CPU cooler as well. Only thing I can hear now is the HDD and the GPU fans. Overall this is by far my favourite case of all time. I would have like more space for normal HDD. There is only space for 2. Sure I can add more SSD or NVMe type drives but I have 3 perfectly good working older drives and can only use 2 (comfortably) now unless I leave the 3rd unmounted and visible somewhere. That however is not enough for me to reduce the 5 star rating.

I love this case, it’s quite simple, not flashy and cheap looking. The build quality is good and airflow though the case is brilliant. If you want a serious looking case this is the one. I have the grey one, to me this is the best looking colour. You would think this was a more premium case, my friends were shocked that I paid less than £100.
