Review on Cooler Master MasterBox TD500: 3D Diamond-Cut Design, Mesh Front Intake Vents, Transparent Panel, 3x120mm RGB Fans & RGB Lighting by Brett Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very nice case that looks great

Pros: - Appearance - Front panel made of mesh - Separate compartment for the power supply - Lots of cable entries and eyelets - Enough hardware - Price compared to similar designs - 3x 120mm RGB + controller contain. Rugged and rugged case for a "budget" case. Great cooling options. (fan shown) CONS: - Only 2 front USB HDD bays, screwed and riveted - must be removable - SSD mounting sleeve + pin is a good idea, but in practice the cables will cause the SSD to pop out - The correct one / Bottom is not deep enough. for cable management. It's a real struggle and requires a third or fourth hand to properly install the metal plate. features, looks and price. It was a fairly simple build, but I used a Seasonic 650W semi-modular power supply, which isn't very deep. This left me some space behind the PSU for cable management and I only needed 1 modular section of it. So it wasn't difficult to install everything and get all the details you see in order. I like the offset top of the duct, which also made it easier to mount the 360mm radar on top. I didn't have any of the issues I often see in reviews such as: B. Transport damage or missing hardware. The biggest problem/difficulty was laying the cables. Case offers great opportunities to make beautiful the area you see. Terrible options to hide/redirect/manage what you want to hide. The hard drive bay's permanently attached "wall" prevents excess power cables from entering. The overall bandage/storage space for an unused length of cable is very, very shallow, and even the smallest cable runs and SSD connectors push against the back/right side of the case, making something like this difficult to close or accidentally detach RGB. 3-pin fan connector. I used braided white extensions and combs to look pretty. But that meant I was actually managing every bit of power cord behind the phone tray, and I just didn't have the space to do it well. About an inch lower on the right for cable routing would be ideal. Can (obviously) be used as is, but if you removed both side panels from my build you would look to one side and say "wow, how neatly put together" and then look to the other side and ask " What happened? ? "

Pros
  • understandable even for the old
Cons
  • Periodicity
