Cooler Master MasterCase H500P Mesh - RGB PC Case with Dual 200mm Fans for High-Volume Airflow, Builder-Focused Chassis Panels, Liquid Cooling Ready

Before I built my current computer, I used CoolerMaster's HAF X case and I was looking for a comparable case. I was always happy with the HAF X, but it was time to move on to something new for the new build. I did a lot of research on cases, knowing I wanted to stay with CoolerMaster. The H500P came up on a lot of review sites and had negative reviews, due to the plastic part at the front restricting airflow. The H500M had much better reviews, but was twice the price. Then I saw this case, the H500, which was a good combination of airflow (thanks to the mesh, although it does come with an optional plastic panel as well) and price. I usually prefer full tower cases so I have lots of room to work, but this case was roomy enough for me to get everything I needed in without too much discomfort. The case comes with 2 RGB front fans and fan controller, which I used to set mine to green, as shown in the first photo. I must put a disclaimer, though, that the case DOES NOT come with 2 top fans or the light strip as seen in the second photo. I ordered and installed those separately. The top part of the case has a magnetic dust filter which is easily removed and cleaned. The bottom part of the case has a dust filter for the PSU that can be easily removed and cleaned as well. The glass side panel makes for a nice view at the components. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase and would recommend this case to anyone looking to build a new PC.PS: As a side note, I have to add that I was looking up whether a Noctua NH-D15 would fit in this case, but found no reviews on any site that would help me, so I thought I'd post it here. CoolerMaster says the CPU cooler clearing is 167mm and Noctua says their cooler is 165mm with both fans attached. 2mm is not a lot of space to gamble on, but I took the risk and can safely say that mine fits like a glove. The Noctua does not touch the glass side panel of the case whatsoever. If you're looking into doing this type of setup, make SURE you have the Noctua's fans mounted as close to the motherboard as you can without touching any components (RAM, etc.). Any higher and they WILL touch the glass panel, so adjust them as needed until it fits correctly.

This case was my first build and it really helped. Great for cable management, although a tad tight at the back but plenty of options for cable routing. Brilliant selection of mounts, power shroud good. Loads of screws, velcro and normal ties included. The flexibility is awesome as you can mount radiators top or front, will take all sizes. I just mounted 240mm radiator CPU water cooler to front fans and the 2x120mm to top (from water cooler). Front RGB fans are great and sync with MB. Easy to plug in once you suss out the cables from the case (took me a while!). Good selection of ports (2xUSB 3.0, 2x2.0 etc). It runs fantastically cool and quiet. Major airflow (don't use the plastic panel!) and looks great. It's also easy to carry due to handle at the top on the front end. The full window smoked panel is perfect for viewing. For the price I found this the best option, and I did look at a lot of cases!

I have wanted this case since it released :D The second I saw it, I knew I wanted it in my dream build!The amazing ventilation and the variety of water cooling support it gives if you wanna go down that route is really generous. Since I'm not doing water cooling, it meant I had room to personalize the interior with a few lego figuresThe opportunity to swap out the front mesh for glass is really nice, I'm gonna keep it mesh myself as I prefer airflow and there are still three glass windows on the sides and top which gives your system the chance to be pretty and eye-catching! The only drawback is baring finger-prints in mindHarddrive space is really generous too, given how more and more people are moving to SSDs over mechanicals. It makes sense for only 2 HDD slots but 7 SSD mounts, hell you could even use one of them for any third-party RGB devices (which I intend to do!)I also wanna say that there is plenty of room in the case for cable tidy providing you know what you're doing. As someone who has never built in a full-size case like this, it was a new challenge but one I was very happy to take on!So with all that in mind, I am gonna wrap this review and just say that this case is amazing. Worth the money! Definitely is the best version of this case from CoolerMaster, I know they released two prior versions which are nice but for me, this one is so sleek, fun to build in, looks sexy and just has the right balance to between function and form!10/10!

Case would be a 5 star if it wasn't for the in built fans. I guess that's down to personal preference. If you like a "disco desktop" then stick with the stock fans, if you want to concentrate on your gaming experience consider replacing the fans with something "less loud" like Noctua. If you do, be prepared to have to drill and modify the fan mounting points for the 200mm front fans.Cable management system on this case is awesome, fully approve. Great space inside too, I do like this case a lot.

Purchased as a replacement case for an existing i7 build to improve airflow and future proof for a planned upgrade later in the year.Moving the existing components into the case was an easy process, and there is plenty of space to work in and to get a nice tidy finish.Noise levels are fine with the 200mm fans and a tower air cooler on the CPU. If you are replacing an existing PC/case just check the overall dimensions as it's on the larger side compared to a lot of old pre-built systems, make sure it will fit where you plan to put it!The mesh front is working well to keep dust and pet hair out and is easy to clean off as it's flat and there are no bars or fancy details to get in the way.Very pleased with this and would recommend. Just need more RGB to go inside when I do the upgrade later in the year.
