Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

Outstanding price-performance ratio

be quiet! Pure Base 500 Black combines customizable and silence features with a compact and sophisticated design. It is the perfect case for all who value compactness and highly functional features.

REGULAR TOP COVER
Perfect for silent air-cooled systems
The regular top cover perfectly rounds off the design of the Pure Base 500. An insulation mat attached underneath ensures a silent operation. It is the perfect choice for air-cooled systems and regular, silent PC configurations. Strong magnets make sure the top covers fits firmly.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE TOP COVER
Maximum airflow for water-cooled configurations
For all who strive for maximum performance and especially with water-cooled systems, the extremely air-permeable top cover is the right choice. It is made of light meshed fabrics, ensuring the highest airflow possible.

TWO PREINSTALLED PURE WINGS 2
Whisper-quiet operation
Two preinstalled Pure Wings 2 fans with airflow-optimized fan blades that ensure perfect airflow and cooling. Despite the compact case design the front and rear fans are both 140mm models, resulting in very quiet operation. Up to three 140mm fans can be installed in addition.

NOISE DAMPENING
Achieving great silence and stability
The front, sides and regular top cover are equipped with insulation mats that result in great stability and improved noise dampening capabilities. The dust filters on the front and bottom are easy to remove for cleaning.

SOPHISTICATED DESIGN
Generous space for high-end hardware
The Pure Base 500 provides generous dimensions to install high-end graphics cards and large coolers of up to 190mm in height. Fans or a radiator up to 360mm can be installed easily at the front and the top area also provides space for more fans or a radiator up to 240mm.

FUNCTIONAL CABLE ROUTING
And great cable routing possibilities
Pure Base 500 offers various possibilities for installing up to 5 SSDs in total. To hide any unwanted cables, the case offers excellent cable routing options.

FUNCTIONAL PSU SHROUD
Offering a neat interior
The PSU shroud perfectly covers the cables and PSU. It also contains a double HDD cage with decoupled mountings that reduce vibrations and help maximize the silence. The cage can also be repositioned to install a radiator of up to 360mm at the front. The power supply unit can be easily installed from behind, mounted on the PSU bracket provided.
