Cooler Master MasterCase H500M ARGB Airflow ATX Mid-Tower with Quad Tempered Glass Panels, Dual 200mm Customizable ARGB Lighting Fans, Type-C I/O Panel, and Vertical GPU Slots (MCM-H500M-IHNN-S00)

I bought this for usage as a case for my gaming hardware, and while it works well for air flow its space constraints are on the tighter side. I expected this when purchasing a case smaller than my previous one, but the reason I knock it down a star is because its tight due to poor wire management. The channels that you are intended to run your wires through dont fit some of the larger cables that your computer uses, such as the motherboards power and GPU power. It came with an additional front plate made of clear plastic incase the mesh grille one thats default isnt to your liking. After setting up this case (and installing an additional 200mm fan on the top) my hardware is kept at a steady 50 C under maximum load off of air cooling alone. The default fans in the front are quality built, and most importantly quiet. They are barely audible at idle; I have to have zero sound playing and be within 3 feet of the case to even begin to notice the sound. The default LEDs are bright and easy to configure with my boards BIOS.

For 100 dollars, this case really is one of the best out there. You get a full fan layout (2 front fans, 1 rear fan). It comes with a PSU shroud as well. The tempered glass is very high quality. There is plenty of room in the back for cable management, and the back panel has a great mounting mechanism with two thumbscrews. This case also comes with some accessories like an RGB controller and zip-ties for cable managing. When it comes to airflow this case might be the best performing. The two massive 200mm fans on the front pull a tremendous amount of air through the case, while still being quiet. The design is quite nice as well, with a handle for moving it around. There are two dust filters, one for the PSU and one for any top mounted rads/fans. Overall very, very nice and worth every penny. The only con I can think of is how the tempered glass panel is held on by slotted screws instead of philips. Still pretty easy to tighten though, can be done by hand. But I think the fact that the panel has a resting ledge so it does not fall off when you unscrew it makes up for the odd screw type. 10/10 would buy again, and probably will for future builds.

I bought this case for a new PC build I was doing, the cords were easy to use and manage, and it came with so much space and all the screws I needed for the motherboard, Hard drive, and a lot left over! Cable management was also a breeze because they left plenty of space for the cords and many slots for zip ties! The instructions were a little hard to decipher because there are not a lot of words explaining the pictures, but after Googling a review it was very straight forward. I was also impressed with the RGB controller. Since it isnt standardized across all motherboards, they included the plug for Gigabyte, one for Asus, MSI, and ASROCK, (those 3 are all one cable) and an adapter that converts it to a different cable that connected to a PSU cord. The forethought of this design is impeccable! The fans are also pretty quiet, I can barely hear them when I am on discord. -Beverly & Noah

It was down to the Lian Li Lancool II, Phanteks P400, and this case. I chose Cooler Master because it was in stock, and could be shipped the fastest (no joke). These three were in the running after watching Gamers Nexus exhaustive case temperature reviews. After owning a premium NZXT Case, I didnt want my room to be a billion degrees any more. Whats better about this case? - it just works. It has the same cabling and general layout as any other midrange case, but the function is perfect (without sacrificing form). Theres not a lot to get in the way. - those 200mm fans in the front are stylish, quiet, and get the job done - my PC gets cool air in/out through it again, so the GPU and internal components dont heat up to Death Valley levels - the PSU shroud and 3.5 bay are removable My only complaint is that I cant fit a 280mm radiator, or really any radiator for that matter in the top. Thats fine, as I mounted my 280mm in the front behind the 200mm big and quiet fans, and they fit/look perfectly. This ends up being a minor annoyance, as I can still get an EVGA Hybrid card and use the back case fan slot for the radiator/exhaust.

This is ‘The Chasis’ of all chasis. There is possibly one other that compares, but not nearly in quality. This is the second largest chasis I have ever installed anything into and there is still plenty of room for more. My last Cooler Master case lasted me 10 years. (It’s still in use, but I sold my entire system). I can’t imagine how this won’t last longer. Typically a tower case will cost maybe $300-350USD; after carefully studying this case compared to one other of my last two choices ; I actually paid a bit over $550USD extra to have it shipped to my location. Most expensive case I’ll have ever bought; but well worth every penny. Arrived very quickly considering my location.

Lo suficientemente grande como para una 4090 y bonito

Overall great case. The two front fans look great and work great. Cable management space is adequate but could be better and I do wish the 3.5 rack was further to the right to leave more space for cramming cables in to the psu bay. I do have one problem with the case and that is the RGB connector for the fans. It comes with a controller but for gigabyte Mbs like the one I had it said to use a different connector and plug it straight into the board via an RGB connector. The problem was that no connector on the board fit the connector so I ended up having to use the included controller which wasnt a problem but if you are someone who likes to frequently change colors of you pc and dont want to have to take the back panel off every time then I would recommend a different case.

Excellent case!

I moved my 4 year old system into this case as a test build while waiting for Ryzen 3 to drop and determine if Im going that route or staying Intel. It gave me a chance to learn the quirks of building in it so when it comes time to build my new system finally I know what Im in for. Look-wise the case is gorgeous. I made sure I could put it on top of my desk. This case is something youll want to use to be able to show off your system, not hide it under a desk. Building it it was pretty nice, though not quite as roomy as Im used to in my old HAF-X. One failing is the PSU shroud cutout which is halfway blocked once a PSU goes in. So any SSDs mounted there must have data and power connector that go straight in. Unless you have SATA power connectors in the middle of the cable that have the wiring going in the back of the plug youll have to use the one on the end. Mine went in the bottom and out the top for the connectors not at the end of the SATA power cable. The other problem is the PSU shroud being angled at the end. Theres not a lot of room for extra cable length to hide or to hide entire cables if you dont have a fully modular PSU. The ARGB controller works great connected via the supplied USB cable to an internal USB 2.0 header and using the MasterPlus beta software from CMs site since my old Z97 board doesnt know anything about RGB/ARGB lighting. It would have been nice if the rear 140mm was ARGB as well and since they have ARGB fans in a range from 120-200mm its really baffling why they installed a standard unlit fan in this case. The front 200s dont actually bleed very much light back into the case through the front panel. Cable management options are great as long as you take the time to plan out where everything is going. It would be nice if the covers were a little deeper but if you take your time you can get everything to fit and get the covers to close without having to force them. The only other issue is potential clearance issues up top for liquid cooling. It seems maybe a step backward vs. other iterations that had a box shaped mount that extended up into what is a gap between the mount and panel on this version. I didnt read reviews on those so maybe that design cause an airflow issue though. Overall highly recommend if youre looking for a case to show off your parts instead of hiding it.

First, and most importantly, about two hours after getting and turning on the case and new computer, the back fan started getting... loud. It is now the loudest thing until I turn on a proper 3d game and my graphics card really has to crank up a bit. Something in the internals so I cant just fix it myself easily. Its been a few weeks but no responses from the customer support at all, I know they are busy, but having no reply to your ticket after over half a month is not good. Issues with the broken case fan aside, the two big front fans also dont have the requires screws/nuts to let you mount one of them in the top of the case sadly, as those use a different mounting method than the front. And all issues specific to my product aside, the case just creaks a lot from thermal expansion and contraction. You can easily hear it through headphones sitting next to it when it start, the glass, and the metal both seem to have this issue. At night when I go to bed and turn it off, I often get brought out of my sleep mode by sudden loud creaks from it as it cools. For the record, the setup only has one big graphics card, and Im not overclocking the CPU yet, so the CPU stays around 40C and the graphics card around 70C tops when playing final fantasy 15 on all top settings. So since it creaks just cooling down from normal browsing the internet with a browser temperatures, I think that should highlight that this thing creaks a lot, especially when cooling down from heavy game or going into it. On the upside, the case is pretty solid, it is pretty big so you can fit a lot in it, and its got plenty of vents for good thermals (important when you live in what is practically a desert). It is also worth saying the case should probably not be placed next to a monitor on a desk like mine, the monitor reflects in it and really shows up on the glass side. Its nice to see inside the computer case to spot for smoke or dust levels, but it is kind of distracting when working having a mirror reflection and all that. For instructions, its the standard approach of many cases and products these days of using pictures so they can avoid languages, so one manual fits all countries. But with the cables for the front and other parts, this is not the best. No link to go online for a nice video or multi language instructions either sadly. So for some this can be a bit of a pain depending on your cooling/lighting setup.
