MSI MPG Series SEKIRA 500P, Premium Mid-Tower Gaming PC Case: Tool Less Tempered Glass Side Panel, 120mm Fans, Modular 360mm Radiator Bracket, Vertical Graphics Card Support

amazing case no problems just one small con hdd tray makes cable management a bit annoying other than that the best case ive ever owned

This case is fantastic! Plenty of room for a custom build and work within the case. Very high quality materials and gorgeous to look at. I also wanted to point out that cooling was mentioned as an issue in other reviews but with the correct AIO cooler this case cools my AMD 5950X and RTX 1070 no problem even when overclocking.

Definitely a strong case, we’ll built and meets my needs. Cable management is a bit tight but manageable. Fit a 240 AIO with a push/pull set up no problem. Gtx 1660 super, and have one ssd and one HDD. There is an extra drive bay for an ssd in the back and two HDD bays, one holds my razer rgb hub. With a 120mm in the rear and two 140mm at the top the case exhaust moderately well. I’m an msi fan boy is the only reason I went for this case, and I must say they didn’t let me down. All rgb preinstaled on the case is bright, true to color and gives it a really good look.

By the reviews, it seems like the Sekira 500X has some issues, but the Sekira 100X is great! I agree the HDD bays are in the way of cables coming from the PSU, but... Im not using HDDs, so it was on its way out anyway. RGB is controllable via MSI motherboard and software. You have to plug the RGB hub into the RAINBOW port on the motherboard, then hold the RGB button on the top of the case to change modes. I used an MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC, which isnt the newest hardware, but everything works fine. Its not the quietest case. I built this rig for my wife, and she wants it on the desktop next to her. Its not horribly loud, but noticeable. I added a 240mm Corsair AIO, so the noise is about what youd expect from five 120mm fans. Other than that, its a nice case. It looks good, and building in it was a pleasure.

Awesome case. I ordered a nzxt case and when it arrived I wasn’t very happy with it so I returned it and started looking for another case for my build. Saw this one and had to try it. Very high quality and looks are top notch. Won’t be upgrading or changing the case at all for a very long time.

Came with a non functioning fan. Still waiting for replacement so I can determine if it’s a product t I really like.

I paid for a brand new case, NOT used. Open opening the box, the plastic bag was ripped and the stirofoam was doestroyed as if someone had forced it out previously. After I took it out of the box, I struggled to take the glass off. Upon finally doing so, the veritcal support in the chassis that would mount the front fans look like it took a bludgeon from a sledgehammer. Shame. Was excited for this case.

Pros: - Well Built - Preinstalled fans are easy to connect to the motherboard - The ARGB fans look great and the colors/presets change with one touch of a button, with 3 included - Cable management was easy and clean - Magnetic dust cover on top is sleek and easy to clean Cons: - None yet Overall Review: Its a great-looking case thats very well built and easy to set up. The three fans in front connect together with the supplied cable. I had plenty of screws, ties, and straps. The ARGB fans look great and it comes with plenty of presets. Havent needed to clean it yet but it should be a breeze. Would recommend.

First Impressions - I havent had a chance to build up my PC in it yet because I literally just received this 12 hours ago and just got home from work; so this is merely my first impressions. The box arrived in pristine shape from USPS, and my face literally lit up like a happy child for maybe 20 seconds - because it looked so nice taking it out of the box! But then I noticed something odd on the top vent - there is a sizable dent on it as seen in my 1st picture ! If it wasnt for the dent, I probably wouldve given it a 10/10 for aesthetics - but the dent from the factory (more on that later) is unacceptable for a case with a premium MSRP. Even on MSIs website, they boast about the fine craftsmanship of the Sekira series. The box was in pristine shape, and the dent is actually pushed outwards from within the case - meaning it got there from the factory floor. You would think they would have atleast 1 person doing a 3 second visual quality-control before it gets boxed and shipped to discerning customers (discerning because I adamantly believe people spending $100+ just on a PC case are probably more of the discerning type who wants quality, an eye-pleasing case, and craftsmanship). Actions - I probably spent close to an hour trying to iron-out the dent with my thumb and palms and it is still apparent - it just flexes back. Around 3pm Central Time, for the life of me, I couldnt find a way to send a note/inquiry to customer service. The Chat function also didnt work - a message saying their chat functionality is temporarily down! Its Fri tomorrow and I was anxious to start building my PC over the weekend; but I guess Im going to wait it out another ~3 days to see if I can get MSI to send me a replacement top panel. If the dent still bothers me on Mon, Ill probably just initiate a returns process with Amazon; and go to my local Best Buy to pickup a Corsair 4000D case (as they have it readily available....since I dont want my project further delayed). Overall Materials Used - I had never seen a desktop case that looked and felt so premium! Ive stopped by Micro Center a few times to look at over 40 cases in person - and 90% of them had this cheap vibe to it (e.g. felt super light, very thin paint, wobbled when you put slight pressure on it, etc). I ordered a Zalman S2 TG case for $50 in the past and was disappointed - which is why I decided to get this MSI case, My Zalman S2 for instance, feels super cheap - the metal side panel flops like a floppy disk when taken out! The side panel on this MSI is super rigid as a rock! The paint job also doesnt look chintzy like the Zalman - the paint on this Sekira has this very nice satin finish - very evenly painted and feels thick. The brushed metal is also super nice - especially the area around the buttons and ports. Other thoughts - I guess I wasnt surprised by the lack of quality control. Before deciding to build another PC, I was actually eyeing a prebuilt gaming PC at Best Buy - the MSI Aegis ZS because the sale price at the time was very enticing since its so hard to buy a graphics card nowadays. But the numerous negative reviews in which people said MSI forgot to put a power switch on the unit made me not buy it. I thought perhaps it was just user error, but now Im confident MSI does indeed issues with quality control.

Went with the 500p and love the look of this case. Only downside is when I got it unboxed the top panel had a good size scratch on it.
