Cooler Master MasterCase H500 ARGB Airflow ATX Mid-Tower with Mesh & Transparent Front Panel Option, Dual 200mm ARGB Fans, Tempered Glass & ARGB Lighting System

Let me start by saying that the normal price for this case is a hundred dollars. If significantly more is being asked for it, just be aware that you are paying more than MSRP.That said, this is an excellent case. It is better than the older Cooler Master case I was using before. The airflow is amazing, and the aesthetics are very much to my liking. The lighting isn't overdone or gaudy. The thick tempered glass side panel is really nice. The cable management is outstanding, with holes right where you want them, and covers to make everything look really clean. They give you a generous amount of space behind the back panel and spots for zip ties to keep all your cables where you want them. It has two trays that can take a HDD or an SSD, and two spots on the back to mount SSDs out of sight. The front fans look fantastic, and they move an insane amount of air while remaining super, super quiet. The included optional RGB switch works great if you don't have a motherboard that supports RGB control (I don't). Do be aware that the rear exhaust fan is not RGB. I had a fan from my old case that I used to replace it. I also added a 140mm fan from my old case to the top for extra exhaust, and that gave me almost perfect neutral pressure. It's just barely positive pressure now, which I consider to be ideal. I still have the mesh front panel on, and I think it looks great, but if maximum airflow isn't necessary for your build, the included acrylic front panel looks really nice as well.One of the main reasons I got this case is that is has a handle on top. I usually game in my living room, but I have a dedicated VR room as well, so I have to carry my tower across the house pretty often. The handle on this is great. They don't tell you this, but there is a second handle under the bottom front support, so you can carry it with both hands. It's heavy, but you can really get a secure hold on it. It's also very doable with just the top handle. I found this case to be a joy to build in. Every aspect of the build quality feels like a more expensive case. I honestly can't believe they are selling these for "a bill." I would have felt I got my money's worth even if I had paid half again as much. I would strongly recommend this case. I am super happy with it, and my PC buddies are jealous.

The Cooler Master MasterCase H500 is hands down one of the best cases I’ve ever used for a PC build! The airflow is fantastic, thanks to the two massive 200mm ARGB fans at the front. My components stay cool even during heavy gaming sessions. My motherboard won't connect to any argb lighting for any case so it's nothing to do with this case, so I can't really comment on the lighting.I love the option to choose between the mesh front panel for maximum airflow or the transparent panel for a more aesthetic look—both work well depending on your preference. The tempered glass side panel is a nice touch, giving a premium feel and showing off the interior components beautifully.The case is also spacious, making cable management a breeze and allowing plenty of room for larger GPUs and extra fans. Installation was easy, with plenty of tie-down points and room behind the motherboard tray for clean cable routing.Overall, the H500 is a perfect combination of form and function. The airflow is top-notch and the build quality is excellent. If you’re looking for a stylish case with great cooling performance, this is a top choice.

The Aorus master has a 3 pin and 4 pin d-led slots.The H500 has a pre-installed ARGB splitter- with 1 cable that reads ASUS-MSI, and another that reads GIGABYTE.But that gigabyte cable? Doesn't fit properly to the 3 pin slot. So what? do you use only 3 of the 4 pins on the 4 pin slot? Or do you use the ASUS\MSI 3 pin cable (which will fit on the 3 pin d-led)?Yep..Use the asus cable. Yes it works fine with gigabyte mobos- it's just a cable after all. Someone at COOLERMASTER needs to get the memo about this apparently, cause frustratingly enough- they have a faq for the 3 pin fans to the 4 pin connectors, but NOT the ARGB situation. I haven't seen it cleanly explained ANYWHERE, so there ya go. Even the manuals for gigabyte and the h500 were of little help on this confusion situation.I hope I just saved a lot of you 12+ hours of dizzying hair pulling stressful research.You are welcome internet.Soo how is the case?Well it's the first pc I've built since 2014, so maybe everything has gotten really good in that time but I don't know. I just know it's incredible.The cable management.The space.The cooling.The housing for psu and ssd\hdd.all of it is such a big win!It's soo quiet my jaw hit the floor first time I fired it up.Seriously HOW IS IT THIS QUIET!?I paired it up with a noctua d 15 which is also impossibly quiet.In low mode (which is when you are in windows not gaming) it's but a tiny whisper. When gaming it gets louder but still a big improvement from my old coolermaster case from eons ago.LIGHT SHOW!The giant fans look downright industrial neon city. I am instantly addicted to 200mm fans and leds now. With how spacious this case is (this would have been called full tower at one time I bet lol) and how gorgeous the fans and lights are, with the glass side I am surprised how good it looks in person, and you better believe it looks great in a dark gamers room.STURDY!Wow is it heavy duty. The steel on this thing is thick. I don't think I'll have any issues with durability on this, at least not on the frame.Front Port panel-This is one the reasons I chose this over other 200mm case fan models (like the monotech). I love how the front panel is slanted, and works great for my needs. Having the case on the floor it's perfect to see what i am plugging into. 4 usb ports is plenty for anything I want to do, and the microphone port is on the side I want and need (less cable stretching)BREATHE-Vents vents vents, everywhere cept the back side panel (which is normal among cases). This case is soo big it has no problem breathing and keeping your stuff cool.CONS-The only con I can find- is the 200mm fans are soo quiet, I can hear some tiny wobble in both of them. I don't think it's a defect, more like normal operating noise you simply would not hear with normal noisy fans.CONCLUSION-I never imagined spending 100$ on a case before, now I can't imagine spending less. The h500 argb is incredible, and it's fun to see how much case tech has advanced in the past 10 years. Even if you are like me (not an expert pc builder) it's neat how easy it's getting to make sweet looking towers that make all those console kids pretend they are not impressed). This is all just part of PC MASTER RACE PRIDE! And what a proud day it is to be a member of this fine race of superior gamers. Don't buy a cheapy 40$ case that can't breathe then stuff a 3080 in there! Esp if you don't have AC in the summer =D. Thank you coolermaster- but please update your instructions (esp on your web site), cause they utterly failed to mention the asus cable can and SHOULD be used for some gigabyte mobos.
