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)

Very solid well built case. Has plenty of room for cable management and was relatively easy to build in although I would be mindful of ram clearance if you are going with a topmount rad depending on your mobo (I went with an msi x570 mpg edge gaming wifi and an msi 240mm aio and it was a little tight but fit). My only real complaint as of right now is the noise level, it isnt crazy loud but definitely noticeable compared to my last pc that was in a corsair carbide 100r. Im not really sure if this is necessarily the cases fault to be totally honest, I also think it may have to do with how I ended up wiring my fans with both of the front 200mm fans and the rear 120mm fan all coming from the same mobo header. Its not loud enough that you notice but with headphones on but if you have a quiet house you will notice it when you walk in the room. Overall I am a fan of the case, the airflow is killer and it looks good and that is more than enough to make up for it being slightly noiseier

In Summary, Good: - Looks great, better in person than in photos - Plenty of room for cable management & part clearance - Solid front IO selection with 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, headphone 3.5mm in, mic 3.5mm in, power & reset buttons - Fantastic design for airflow, Im air-cooling a 3950x in this case, albeit with an absolute monster of an air-cooler Bad: - Case itself is a bit wobbly due to (relatively) low weight, poor weight distribution, and narrow feet - Half length PSU shroud feels a bit outdated at this point, though that only really affects aesthetics. This is a very solid case with some really nice spots, but I wouldnt call it perfect. For the price (being ~$120 for the H500 ARGB), its on the lower end of where you start getting into serious cases, and I think it delivers a fantastic amount of value at that price. First, if youre interested in this case but worried about aesthetics, dont be. This case looks so, so, SO much better in person than it does in photos, and it already looks pretty nice in the photos. The RGB fans look a bit cheap in the photos, but they look great in person. I think they look best if you just pick a solid color and set both the fans up to it, but they do support a variety of non-static lighting effects if youre into that. Next, talkin bout the build experience. It was mostly great, its a wide open case, both side panels come off and you have plenty of room for cable management. It comes with a removable drive cage, I went all M.2s so I removed it for some more cable room and cleaner airflow to my PSU. Really the only negative I experienced while building was trying to get the CPU power pins on the top left, and thats on me for not doing that before installing the motherboard into the case and also using a massive heatsink on my CPU that blocked most of the access. (That heatsink is the Scythe Ninja 5, its massive and I bought this case just to have enough clearance to fit it. It does fit it.) Finally, the biggest thing I dont like about this case is the weight. Not that its too heavy, rather if anything it is too light. This isnt too much of a concern, and Im sure its nice on the package handlers (thank you package handlers), but it is compounded by the cases feet. Its nice to have some airflow under the case, certainly, and they do include a bottom facing dust filter for your PSU, so you can mount it drawing in fresh air from under the case, but ultimately just look at the size of the feet. Youre resting an entire large case on really quite a small surface area, and theyre angled in such a way that this thing looks like it was built to roll along the ground. Combined with how light the case is, and how the weight of your components is distributed throughout the case, it brings the center of gravity up quite high. I think it actually sits above the center of the case in my build. This makes the tower wobbly! That doesnt feel good! I can just tap the tower with my finger and I can see the entire thing shake a little bit, its concerning. My heart skips a beat if I ever swivel in my chair and accidentally bump it. All-in-all, if youre looking for a huge case at this price point, this is a very strong contender. It wasnt my first choice, I was looking at an ASUS TUF Gaming GT501, but of course my first choice was out of stock. Even so, I am not at all disappointed with this as my second option, its even got a better front IO selection.

This case i used to build a workstation strictly for work. The primary thing the case needed to accommodate was radiators and you guessed it more radiators. This case delivered on that as well as a digital display smack dab in the front so your hardware monitoring can be done with ease. The biggest surprise of all had to be the master plus software that controls the lighting and iris display (which I personally use to monitor hardware temps). This is the only lighting software that Ive come across that doesnt tax your CPU. Hats off to cooler master for this. Honestly all the other companies should come to them in this arena because it is damn near perfect software as far as I am concerned. The build quality and materials used to manufacture this case you will find are very high quality and justify its top tier pricing. There is not one area I can pick out and call flimsy or cheap. Now for the one major con I found with this case. There are absolutely zero knockouts for fill ports or drain ports. I dont know anyone who spends this much money on a case and doesnt plan on a water-cooled build. And I found even after stuffing 3-360mm radiators and 1-280mm radiator in this beast there was plenty of room at both ends of the case to implement this feature. So unfortunately for that reason I cant say this case is perfect. But if you dont mind drilling into a 650-dollar case then more power to you. But all in all, for throwing some scrap pumps I had laying around as well as some scrap pipe I am very happy with its ability to keep everything frosty and for that this case got 5 stars. if I could though I would have given it 4.5 due to the lack of knockouts for draining and filling ports.

This case quality is 100% and will fit any every brand motherboard or power supply the weight is about 23 kg and the collers the curves the style man am telling you in real life is way better then you see it in youtube . Get it and thank me later

One of the best cases I’ve ever used.

Pros: Very easy to build in, everything fit in nicely. Plenty or airflow 200mm front fans are very quiet and move plenty of air. Great filters (specially like the one at the top with magnets). Great space for longer GPUs Space behind motherboard is broad enough for decent cable management. Many water cooling and fan configurations available. They kept support for older chunkier HDDs with a very organized removable tray (in case you dont want to use it). Tempered glass is great quality and really like it sits on the lip at the bottom when you unscrew it. Cons: The 2x200mm ARGB fans are 3 pin, whereas my motherboard only has 4 pin rgb headers. I thought, no biggie, Ill use the included controller. But to my surprise the controller didnt work either. It only lights up a very small portion of the fans, and the button doesnt work to cycle trough the modes. I tried everything that came to mind with no results. Front fans stay the same color (top one with a little red spot, bottom one with a little blue spot). So I just decided to disconnect the ARGB controller from the front fans, and just leave them off (theyre facing the wall anyway). Manual and online PDFs from CoolerMaster are horrible. They just assume you know what youre doing, and if you run into a problem, just figure it out by yourself. Overall: Very happy with the purchase and quality. Almost perfect.

My son and I built two PCs together recently -- a first for both of us -- and I picked out this case primarily because its got great airflow, super-large fans (so they dont have to spin so fast and, thus, are quieter), and a handle for easy transportation. What I didnt expect was the evident quality of the case, particularly in comparison to the case my son picked out, and I didnt expect to even like the RGB lighting (which I considered leaving unconnected). Im pleasantly surprised, and Id buy this one again in a heartbeat. My only complaint is that the RGB lighting cannot be controlled by our Gigabyte motherboard (which has a four pin connector) and must be controlled by the (included) controller that came with the case. Practically, that means that the case lighting is controlled differently than my CPU cooler lighting, so if color harmony is important to you, best to choose another case (and buy a case made by the same company as your CPU cooler). For me, this case was great purchase. Super-happy.

My old case had temp problems (nczt500), this one has great air flow and looks great. Wish I bought this one 1st

I figured the larger the fan the more air it would pull in right? Well, it appears that the plate opening that the 200mm fans are screwed to allow only about half the fan to be exposed so the intake is seriously hindered. I would think swapping them out for triple 120s would be far more efficient (I did not try this). Even with that, using a liquid cooler I placed the radiator on the top as the airflow was better and even though the radiator was getting hot air pushed through it the CPU temp never rose over 70C. Im not sure what they mean by warmth, but the CPU never rose above 70C as said and the GPU never hit 80C, which would be... not optimal. And the rear fan is really small (seems so) to efficiently expel the hot air so the majority of your exhaust is going to be top. You may want to think about a 360 setup. Im only using the 240 the AIO came with, but the top could fit a 3rd 120. It is roomy, but with the radiators and fans stacked on the top they just nudge the memory cards.

Lots of space and tie down points for cable management, extra stand-offs for mini and micro ATX boards, pre-installed ARGB wiring and ACTUAL AIRFLOW. If you hate airflow and want to suffocate your components on purpose, CoolerMaster even includes an acrylic front panel to replace the front mesh panel, if you ever feel the need to do that. Still, a nice addition from CM. Large 200mm fans push a great deal of air while still being low noise. I run the 12V fans on their full 12V power and theyre still overpowered by the sound of my Noctua NH-D15 fans. 120mm fan in the back is non-ARGB, but still pushes a great deal of air around while being relatively quiet. CoolerMaster purposely also leaves room for up to a 240mm radiator on top, and for good reason. You really dont need a 360mm radiator, even while OCing your CPU to the max. With the 2x 200mm fans in the front supplying more than enough air for a chunky air cooler like a Noctua NH-D15 (which fits, just FYI!), a 240mm in a vertical orientation is more beneficial to the case temperature-wise than putting a 360mm rad in front and then having 2x 140mm fans in the top, or moving one of the included 200mm fans to the top instead. Regardless of what you do, theres enough extra screws in the box for all your mounting needs. BUY THE ONE WITH THE HANDLE. The more expensive ones have the same amount of airflow, just with a premium finish. Also, the handle is actually quite sturdy, integrated into the base of the metal chasse. Still, I would suggest a two-handed over-under carry if you care about your back. If you want a great airflow case, this is the one right here. NZXT and Lian-Li, eat your heart out.
