🤫 Be Quiet Pure Base 501 Air Review - Is This Classic PC Case Still a Budget Champion?
This chassis has been around for a while, but it's been refined into an absolute budget tank. If you need a super quiet PC for your office or a cool-running, sturdy rig for gaming, this case needs to be on your list.

In this video, we'll do a full tear-down, check out the features, and discuss the pros and cons to help you decide if it's the right foundation for your next PC build!

Big thanks to Dave Aitken for lending us this case for the review!

💰 Is this £50 PC Case Worth It?
We (well Dave actually) snagged this case for an incredible price (£49.99!), and for that money, it delivers fantastic quality. It's built tough, flexible, and comes with sound-deadening insulation to keep things whisper quiet. It even includes two Pure Wings 3 140mm fans, which alone are a great value! We look at air-cooling vs. water-cooling suitability, clearance issues, and what you get for your money.

🛠️ Key Specs & Features
Noise Reduction: Sound-dampening pads.
Included Fans: 2x Pure Wings 3 140mm.
GPU Clearance: Up to 368mm.
CPU Cooler Height: Up to 178mm.
Radiator Support: 360mm max in front, 240mm max on top (watch out for RAM/VRM clearance!).
Storage: Plenty of spots for 2.5" and 3.5" drives.
Front I/O: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2x USB 3.0 Type-A, Audio Jack.
