To conduct our noise level tests, we replaced the graphics card in our system with a AMD Radeon HD 5550 Silence which was passively cooled. We also momentarily disconnected the fans on the CPU cooler so we were only taking into account the noise generated by the fans in the case.
The case doesn't generate a lot of noise, so it will be dependant on the components you select inside during the system build.

be quiet! is expanding its popular Pure Base 501 case lineup with two new models: the Pure Base 501 LX and Pure Base 501 DX. These additions cater to users seeking stylish aesthetics and enhanced cooling capabilities while retaining the core features that made the original Pure Base 501 a favourite among PC builders.

Absolutely beautiful, but I would be concerned about the discrete graphics card space. what is the maximum room in there for a GPU?
This or Bitfenix Prodigy? decisions, decisions. what do you guys think?
Funky! I’ve just ordered one, I’ll see if it fits in the living room :)… The drawback is the ports backplate facing upward the chassis. When all is wired it will have an different look, a somewhat “techno-sculpture” : with phosphorescent Water cooling tubing it could get that ugly… Maybe I’ll try to put an aluminum cover on top, perpendicular to the front panel’s curvature at that point (parallel to the ports backplate), maybe also on the sides so as to somewhat enclose and hide the backport (which would also protect the ports and wire headers). Bah I’ll see, It ‘l be as it goes!
