Review on πŸŒͺ️ Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh Airflow ATX Mid-Tower: Polygonal Mesh, Tempered Glass, E-ATX with ARGB Lighting Fans by Drew Gengler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

3/5 for several reasons.

The sidebar was an afterthought. Not only was it sticking out of the case, you could see every crease and detail on the case as the panel was all glass, no metal frame, nothing. The net slipped when I flipped it back. It's with an empty case. there is nothing in it. Another factor to consider: why is there a grid here? Top fans and radiators should ONLY EXHAUST, heat rises and convection means heat WANTS to travel up and creates its own airflow as the air expands. Venting the air through this point means better cooling. They work with natural air flow. the net above does what? it cannot filter as it is an exit point. nothing to catch if your intake filters are working. This means that this mesh will ONLY restrict airflow for no reason. many cases came in. The standard case design requires bottom and front inlet and rear and top outlet (there are some exceptions!). for air-cooled assembly. This case does a LOT right. Mesh front with large intake space. The basement is large enough to accommodate the bays. which can be removed. The case easily fits 35mm 360 wheel in front and 280 on top is a good case to work with for the most part. The mesh top should be replaced with a more open, less filtering one built into the case. since the front fans should do the job anyway. The processing quality leaves a lot to be desired. Compared to the 4000D's airflow, this case feels cheap, light and stretchy, while the glass designs in the corners feel useless. You basically pay for the fans. I bet $40-$50 of that comes from these fans.

Pros
  • Supports fans up to 7120mm and liquid cooling front, top and rear for maximum performance.
Cons
  • Little things
