Be Quiet! Pure Base 600 Midi‑Tower Gaming Computer Case – Black
The Pure Base 600 is a mid‑tower chassis designed for gamers and enthusiasts who demand quiet operation, robust build quality, and extensive expandability. Built with a combination of ABS plastic and steel, it delivers a sturdy yet lightweight platform that supports the full range of ATX, Micro‑ATX, and Mini‑ITX motherboards.
Key Design Features
- Soundproofing: The case incorporates high‑density acoustic foam panels throughout the interior, reducing fan noise by up to 20 dB compared with standard cases. This makes it ideal for both gaming and content creation environments where silence is prized.
- Modular Fan System: Equipped with four fan bays (three 120/140 mm slots on the front, one 120 mm rear slot) and a pre‑installed 140 mm Pure Wings 2 fan at the front, the chassis supports up to three additional fans. The included 120 mm rear fan is a Pure Wings 2 model, ensuring low noise and high airflow.
- Radiator Compatibility: Front radiators up to 360 mm are supported (120/140/240/280/360 mm), while the top can accommodate 120/240/360 mm units. The rear supports a single 120 mm radiator, allowing flexible liquid cooling setups.
- Drive Bays: Six 2.5″ internal bays, three 3.5″ external bays, and two 5.25″ external bays provide ample storage options for SSDs, HDDs, optical drives, or additional peripherals.
- USB & Audio I/O: Two USB 3.0 Type‑A ports on the front panel, a headphone jack, and a microphone input give convenient access to high‑speed data transfer and audio connectivity without compromising cable management.
- Cable Management & Dust Filters: Dedicated cable routing channels keep wires tidy, while removable dust filters on all drive bays protect internal components from debris during maintenance.

Build Quality & Materials
The chassis uses a 1 mm thick ABS plastic shell reinforced with steel frames at critical stress points, ensuring durability while keeping the overall weight manageable. The front panel is designed for easy access to the motherboard and power supply, with a clean layout that hides cables behind the dust filter.
Cooling Strategy
The Pure Base 600’s fan configuration is engineered for optimal airflow:
- Front Intake: One pre‑installed 140 mm Pure Wings 2 fan pulls cool air into the case, while up to two additional 120/140 mm fans can be added.
- Rear Exhaust: A single 120 mm fan expels hot air from the rear, maintaining a positive pressure environment that helps keep dust out.
- Top Exhaust: Supports up to one 120/240/360 mm radiator or fan, providing an additional exhaust path for heat rising from the GPU and CPU.
The combination of low‑noise fans and soundproofing makes this case a top choice for users who want high performance without compromising on silence.
Installation & Setup
- Mount the Motherboard: Secure the ATX, Micro‑ATX, or Mini‑ITX board using the included standoffs. The case’s spacious interior allows for easy cable routing.
- Install the Power Supply: Position the ATX PSU in the rear compartment. The chassis supports up to a 210 mm length, accommodating most modern power supplies.
- Attach Fans and Radiators: Install the pre‑mounted front fan, add any additional fans or radiators as desired, and connect them to the motherboard’s fan headers.
- Connect Drives: Mount SSDs in the 2.5″ bays and HDDs or optical drives in the 3.5″/5.25″ slots. Secure with screws and close the dust filters.
- Cable Management: Route cables through the dedicated channels, using Velcro straps to keep them organized.
Why Choose the Pure Base 600?
- Quiet Operation: Acoustic foam and low‑noise fans deliver a near‑silent experience even under load.
- Versatile Cooling Options: Supports extensive liquid cooling setups, making it future‑proof for overclocking enthusiasts.
- Expandable Storage: Multiple drive bays allow users to build large storage arrays without compromising airflow.
- Professional Aesthetics: The sleek black finish and clean panel design give a premium look suitable for both gaming rigs and workstation builds.

I needed a case with front access drive bays, and this one is absolutely perfect. It offers various drive options, providing me with the versatility and functionality I require. Additionally, it's impressively quiet!
I found that this case is not ATX compliant when using the Silent Loop 2 water cooling system. Unfortunately, my new Asus motherboard did not fit due to interference with the radiator fans. I reached out to Bequiet for assistance, but they showed no interest in resolving the issue. They simply insisted that it was ATX compliant, even after I provided them with the ATX specs and highlighted the specific section where they fell short.
