Review on Cooler Master MasterBox E500L MCB-E500L-KN5N-S00 by Elang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

If you have 2.5 "disks (SSD or laptop HDD) - there are 4 seats on special brackets on the back side. If you have ordinary 3.5" drives, then you can put only 2 disks on the same brackets. But, thanks to the perforated case and shoulder arms, you can attach a few more drives both inside and outside the case. The case turned out to be very "creative". I liked it, although it is not without flaws.

Pros
  • Compact, but at the same time it can accommodate full-fledged ATX boards. The power supply is installed in any convenient place inside the case. You can put the case on 4 faces out of 6. Lots of room for cable management. The IceHammer IH-4500 tower climbed into the hull. Dust filters (two on magnets, one on the bottom with rubber clips) The panel with buttons and USB ports can be placed on any of the four faces on the side of the transparent acrylic cover. Plugs on the expansion slots - on the screws, and do not break out.
Cons
  • The stock case fan is mediocre. There may be installation problems if you have a long video card and a long power supply. Despite the abundance of holes, the ventilation in the case is a four due to the low density of these holes. For a good blowing, it is necessary to put additional turntables for blowing in and blowing out. And there is a nuance. Blow valves can make noise due to the same holes in the walls (this happened to me). To prevent noise, you need to put the fans on spacers (or a 140mm-120mm adapter). Materials for four: the iron is not very thick, the side wall is made of acrylic, the plastic kit is flimsy.
