HEXUS

Bottom line: the original may be sleeker and quieter, but for those who prioritise performance, the Pure Base 500DX is a worthwhile alternative.

PCMag

Overall, I'd consider the Pure Base 500DX a worthwhile ATX option to build your system in if you're looking for heavy air cooling right out of the box, and would benefit from the inclusion of three good fans. They are a big part of the value proposition.

GamersNexus

The Pure Base 500 was a well received case. We don’t particularly like it because the thermal performance is bad. The Pure Base 500DX is a Pure Base 500 with good thermal performance: everyone wins.

TechPowerUp

At $85 MSRP for the original, there is not as much competition in that space of clean, understated, functional, and quiet. At $100 in the gamer space, you have to sway your buyers a little more, but all-in-all, the Pure Base 500DX is definitely a great choice.
