Cooler MasterMasterBox MB500 ATX Mid-Tower with Three 120mm RGB Fans, Front Semi-Meshed Ventilation, Tempered Glass Side Panel & RGB Lighting System, Black (MCB-B500D-KGNN-S00)

È stato facile assemblare tutto. Non è stato possibile installare il dissipatore Corsair sulla parte superiore ma ho dovuto spostare due ventole in dotazione sulla parte superiore e installare il dissipatore Corsair sulla parte anteriore.

Un case spettacolare con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Il case è di ottima fattura, materiali che al tatto non sembrano affatto cheap. La finestra laterale è in vetro temperato e mostra egregiamente l'interno del case.Arriva con 4 ventole, tre anteriori RGB ed una posteriore non illuminata. C'è spazio per altre due ventole superiori da 120 o 240 e anche per un radiatore. La griglia superiore è magnetica quindi è facilissimo rimuoverla per pulirla. Il cable management è molto buono, in quanto lo spazio dedicato è più che sufficiente ed inoltre, nel pannello sul retro della mobo, ci sono i fori per istallare due SSD. I carrellini per gli HDD sono due invece, ma se ne possono istallare altri due (da prendere a parte). Consiglio vivamente questo case.

When I received the case it ws well packaged and looked amazing out of the box. When I put my PC together, it was fairly easy to use the room inside the case, easy to connect all the cables for the fans and LED. It has plenty of room inside, huge case, my 1070 GPU seems like a small card inside. I do love the LED addition, that is why I paid more than the regular case. You can switch colours on it, however it is done by a switch, which I personally placed inside the case, but I am sure you can move it to the outside as well. The switch is roughly the size of a Leatherman (when closed) or smaller a little. I think I would have preferred if CoolerMaster integrated this LED switch into the case on the front, so you can just press the button whenever you want. This is me personally saying it, I am not a fan of a separate switch that you can place wherever you like.The pre-installed fans work great, you have 3 in the front sucking in air and 1 in the back pushing air out. Keeping my case cool, my current set up with a i5 9600k and gtx 1070, the case is around 30-35C inside average under useThe filters are amazing, well thought, maybe not the best, highest quality, but for this money, I am well happy with them. The top is magnetic, clever thought. The bottom is a tad fiddly to put back on, however not difficult. Definitely makes cleaning easier. The front looks fantastic, and you have an additional 2 USB3 ports there.The side window is not tampered glass but acrylic, so it can get damaged easily, but only if you are a clumsy monkey. It looks great, darkened as well so the inside bit is still visible, however creates an expensive look.Overall, I am happy with the design and quality and would recommend to those wanting to spend less than £100 on a case.

Bonjour à tous, une fois de plus je vais donner un peu de contexte : montage d'un PC de base polyvalent (sauf les chevaux) avec une alimentation non modulaire. Autre point : cela fait un peu moins de trente ans que je monte mes PC moi-même, donc des boîtiers, j'en ai vu quelques uns...Points positifs :+ Le boîtier présente vraiment bien, il ne fait pas cheap, le résultat est très propre sans avoir à se prendre la tête .+ La ventilation est très correcte de base, les composants en profitent bien.+ Le montage n'est pas ce que j'ai vu de plus simple ni agréable, mais l'un dans l'autre c'est plutôt très bon, il n'y a pas de galère, il y a finalement de la place et des chemins pour les câbles sans faire un bol de nouilles au dessus de la carte mère.+ Finalement, il y a de la place derrière la carte mère. L'alimentation que j'ai mise n'est pas modulaire (appelez-là Cthulhu...), et tout est bien caché. Limite, mais j'ai connu très souvent pire, même sur des boîtiers bien plus haut de gamme (Antec... berk.... NZXT... mouais). Cela rejoint beaucoup le point précédent, je sais...+ Le côté RGB est simple et joli. Personnellement il est branché sur le header de ma carte-mère et tout fonctionne.+ Le boîtier est assez étroit, ce qui dans certains cas peut s'avérer utile si vous avez peu de place sur votre bureau (ce qui est hélas mon cas). Mais....- Les ventilos font un bruit de malade ! Là encore, j'ai connu pire, mais franchement non-régulé c'est épuisant !- Encore un boitier sans baie 5'25... Adieux lecteurs de cartes en façade, graveurs optiques et surtout dans le cas présent rhéobus pour dompter la ventilation...- Certains systèmes de fixation sont un peu bizarres (SSD), mais fonctionnent.Bref, pour le prix c'est vraiment très bien, mais si j'avais eu un peu plus de largeur (physique) pour le boîtier sur mon bureau, j'aurais repris un Thermaltake Core V21 dans la même gamme de prix, qui est bien plus modulaire, plus silencieux et refroidit mieux.Nota: contrairement à certain commentaires, il n'est absolument pas indiqué sur la fiche du constructeur que ce boîtier peut loger un radiateur de 240 pour un AIO dans sa partie supérieure, contrairement à la face avant (120-360) et à l'arrière (120). N'essayez donc pas :)

This has got to be one of the best 'bang for the buck' cases out there.For this price you get a tinted tempered glass side panel, 3 RGB fans and enough space for an ATX build.The RGB fans do not have super detailed functionality, but they have several different color switch modes and settings to choose from, making them the perfect 'babies first RGB set' to play around with. (another pro to the RGB is they dont need any software, just wire them to the reset switch and select the mode you like)Pros:-Great and rigid construction. No cheap non-reusable PCIE slots here.-Excellent looks, not a solid box shape-Big enough to house ATX but still very compact in its size-Easy to work inCons:-No front panel dust filter-Has a top dust filter but its basically wasted because no fans use it by default (I configured my case to have fans there)-Thermals can get a bit on the hot side when under load-Default fans can get loud when under load-For looks, the indent where the tempered glass side panel is not big enough, so it sticks out ever so slightly outside of the case (biggest con from a visual perspective)-Reset switch cannot be clicked with your fingers. You have to use some tiny tool like a quetip or a toothpick to click it.-Front fans need to be positioned on the mesh, otherwise the fans are choked.In conclusion this is that this case is an incredible deal for all the features it provides. For the price you get so much (RGB, TG sidepanel, solid build quality). Ofcourse this case is not perfect. As mentioned above its provided default cooling options leave it lacking in a technical aspect, and my biggest gripe with it is the fact that the indent for the sidepanel is not big enough, so the glass sticks out like a sore thumb. If that wasnt a problem, this would be the best case on the market for me, but no case is without its flaws after all. I think that even with all of the cons, this is still a great case and as mentioned, I am very satisfied with it and would reccommend it whole heartedly to anyone.Good job Cooler Master! A spectacular visually appealing case!
