Question 1

Does this particular product have enough space for later installation of graphics card and high end hardware?

Accepted Answer

The case is big enough to receive anything that you can put into your motherboard. The fans and hard drive cages are completely configurable to accommodate any length of graphics card/PCI slot placement. With all the wiring running thru the right sight of the case, there is no clutter to impeded the installation of any hardware in the left side.

This case was one of my best PC-related purchases, and after two years of its quietness, I haven't one regret. It's loaded with fans, yet nearly totally silent. Precision machining in the thumb screws to to open it, and no warping on the sides as the previous case had when opened. With fours hard drives and an SSD, and a heavier graphics card running fast, my temps have been cut by nearly 33% since I took it all out of an previous DELL enclosure, and reinstalled it into this one.

Very roomy
Sleek, efficient, precision design
Quiet!

Question 2

What kind of Front IO is offered on this case? IE USB 2.0, USB 3.0, 3.5mm headphone and speaker jacks....etc

Accepted Answer

Across the front, left to right: 
HDD indicator LED, slightly recessed, 
Unlit RESET button, 
LED-lit POWER button, 
Two USB 3.0 ports, connected by cable to the USB 3.0 socket on the mainboard (so you can't use that socket for extra USB3.0 on the rear of the case) 
Two 3.5mm headphone jacks (Mic in, Headphones out)

Question 3

Is there a provision for an optical drive in this unit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are two (2) 5.25in drive bays cut outs on the front and a removable bracket for installation.

Question 4

Can it run windows 10?

Accepted Answer

This is simply a case that holds all of the components, so it does not have any operating system that needs to be installed. It can hold a CPU that supports Windows 10, though.

Question 5

With the optical drive installed, how many fans and size can be used in the front?   Also can we still use 3 x 120mm fans for the top vents or 2 x 140mm?

Accepted Answer

With optical drive, 5 fans total can be installed.  I do not know about 3x120s on top, but maybe.  For sure, you can still install 2x140s.  I HIGHLY do not recommend any fans or radiators in the front, unless the front panel is removed.  Thermals of this case is outright poor.  The problem with the front panel is, there are several layers for the air vents, and overtime, dust will settle inside those vents, and it's impossible to remove those dust.

Question 6

Specs are lacking.  What are the external dimensions of this case please?

Accepted Answer

492L x 220W x 470H (mm)  from bequiet web site
19.37" x 8.66" x 18.50"

Question 7

Can you buy more hard drive slots to add two more?

Accepted Answer

The be quiet! PURE BASE 600 case already offers three repositionable HDD slots and five internal 3.5" drive bays, which should provide ample space for hard drives. However, there is no mention of being able to buy additional hard drive slots separately.

Question 8

How many HDD mount cages come with the case?

Accepted Answer

The case comes with three cages. It has a capacity for five. I purchased two additional cages from Newegg for aprox. $10 ea. I have never been more pleased with a purchase, as with this case. It is truly quiet.

Question 9

are the hdd mounts on vibration isolators?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the HDD mounts have silicone-rubber bushings, through which the screws mount the HDDs to the cages. The cages are vertically repositionable, from the top to the bottom of the case, to accomodate larger graphics cards. The cages are fully removable through the right side when the cable acccess panel is opened.

Question 10

What size motherboards can fit inside? Only atx?

Accepted Answer

It fits full atx, micro atx and mini itx. Not sure why a person would want to put a tiny motherboard in a full sized case but it is an option.
