    A practical product, nothing to complain about.

    I don't write product reviews very often, but below is my review on Cooler Master MCB E500L KN5N S00 MASTERBOX E500L. did not understand about the two hidden screws, broke off the panel. glued due to lack of space or the inconvenience of the location of the elements, s have to be not enough fasteners for 160mm fans It is better to use thin options with fans than 25mm standard ones

    Pros
    • replacement block for ssd bp location variability atx mother and two video cards for 3 fans climbed horizontal and vertical arrangement of the body
    Cons
    • the plug of the power supply extension cord could also be bent at 90 in the plane, they would save more space for the wires at the bottom of the unit. sold separately, you can solder yourself. cable management - there is little space with the frontal location of the power supply unit. there are a lot of places for fans to blow through the case, but they will overlap space for fans could be expanded perforation for better air flow inconvenient entry for CPU power

    Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

    Hello everyone, I want to share with you my opinion about Cooler Master MCB E500L KN5N S00 MASTERBOX E500L. Yes, due to the complex shape of the edge, it is expensive to make such a glass, but for ordinary glass you can not make a complex edge, given the simple method of fastening with 4 screws. It’s worth taking for ATX boards, if you have mATX or ITX, then it’s better to take Q300L

    Pros
    • A good case, I like the design, strictly, simply, but with taste. A bunch of fasteners, screws, ties, as well as a nozzle for twisting the motherboard mounting posts. In general, a very rich equipment (complete set).
    Cons
    • Acrylic glass - washed once, wiped dry with a napkin, fiber . the result is in the photo. Ventilation, it is all perforated, which, at first glance, is good, but air flow is not created for effective heat removal.

    I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

    Below I will present my personal opinion about the product Cooler Master MCB E500L KN5N S00 MASTERBOX E500L. It would be great to make the same magnetic grid on the bottom as on other planes and put a grid on the bottom and legs for a vertical arrangement, because those who will place it horizontally will have to face the fact that not all sides of the cube will be the same.

    Pros
    • ) The size! ) Ability to install an ATX board ) Possibility to put horizontally and vertically ) Ability to move control buttons ) Simple but easily moddable design
    Cons
    • ) Not that it's a minus, but a significant moment, thinking through the air flow, if there is water cooling in the system. There is no such problem with a classic tower or similar cooler.

    I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

    I don't write product reviews very often, but below is my review on Cooler Master MCB E500L KN5N S00 MASTERBOX E500L. I bought it because I'm already sick of the huge black "coffins" under the table. The case is beautiful except for the ease of assembly! In the presence of high-quality turntables, hot components will not be hot. I definitely recommend to all lovers of aesthetics and minimalism =)

    Pros
    • The size Design Dust filters included Ease Ability to use horizontally Good space for cables
    Cons
    • Difficulties installing the power supply Acrylic glass (generally normal looks) Difficult to get motherboard

    The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

    I upgraded a full-sized iron, which was in a very large case. I just took out the old one and put in the new one. But the old one still works and is not bad at all. This body caught my eye. I was worried whether a mother with a Red Hat tower and a kilowatt PSU would fit. Everything got in a run. The only ends of the copper tubes in the tower stick out slightly beyond the dimensions of the hull. But the plastic wall screwed in perfectly, it just curved a little. If the hardware is not compact…

    Pros
    • There are no limits for customization! Top-bottom, right-left can be swapped as you like! The block with buttons and USB is also attached to any of the four sides. For a compact body, this is great. And for a more than reasonable price. Full ventilation from four sides.
    Cons
    • Didn't even look.

    Excellent product, the best quality.

    Below I will present my personal opinion about the product Cooler Master MCB E500L KN5N S00 MASTERBOX E500L. As for me, the best case for its price, considering the size / ventilation / filters / appearance / compatibility / convenience. Yes, there are disadvantages, but with a strong desire, they can be corrected (replace ACRYLIC with glass or metal, make more holes for cooling, replace and install more turntables)

    Pros
    • There are dust filters everywhere that are quite easy to clean, good airflow, a fan is installed on the exit, there are plenty of places for fans, good layout and space saving, a rather small case like for ATX boards, a lot of space for cable management, most video cards will fit, the front panel is comfortable in its own way (here it is side XD) PC case with two USB 3.0, you can see all the hardware
    Cons
    • side ACRYLIC window! if there is a backlight in the case and it is in front of your face, then the prints and scratches that appear even if you just breathe on the case are perfectly visible! Non-standard and slightly unusual layout but it's worth it. There are small air holes in the body and the takes place (make holes larger or cut out part of the metal altogether), but tolerable. Dust filters could be smaller, but they will do. Tight fastening of the side walls and as a rule you need a screwdriver. It is necessary to buy additional turntables and it is desirable to replace the base one. Many good tower coolers won't fit here.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

    To finalize the case: from below, through the existing holes, I attached legs with wheels, this gives a good clearance between the floor and the case, which greatly affects the cooling if you have fans from below to blow the video card, it is more convenient to move it when you clean up) ; on acrylic, I drilled holes, because. in any case, for aesthetics, you need to take this acrylic and cut normal glass on it, both with holes and without it, acrylic will be tattered. If you have time to get…

    Pros
    • Interesting shape; Dust filters on all sides; Very large variability in the location of components inside; The ability to choose exactly how to arrange the entire system unit as a whole; Relatively compact, but plenty of space for cable management.
    Cons
    • Although there are a lot of cooling holes in the case, they are very small, if you have a normal gaming computer, a large number of fans, then you will definitely have to modify the case. The lower dust filter is not on magnets, but on rubber rivets, which is VERY inconvenient if the system unit is in its usual position (like ordinary cases) The transparent sidewall made of acrylic, not glass, scratches instantly in the air.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

    The case is a compromise between capacity and external size. Therefore, you need to responsibly approach the purchase of components. 1. With ATX MB, 140mm, the fan cannot be placed either on the bottom or on the lid. 2. I have a tower - a 162mm high CPU cooler fits back to back. Another 1-2mm and trouble would have happened. 3. If the video card is large, you will have no choice where to put the PSU. But nevertheless, even a 310mm video card fits normally and there is a large margin left.

    Pros
    • 1. The main thing: the minimum size with the maximum capacity. Naturally with reservations. 2. Perforated, ventilated walls on four sides. 3. All wires can be hidden - everything is beautiful, nothing sticks out or dangles. With a glass lid, this is true. 4. You can choose where to put the button on and USB connectors - convenient. 5. The transparent cover is tinted. I like. 6. In reality, it looks a little better than in the photo. 7. It is possible to install 100500 fans from all sides.
    Cons
    • 1. There is perforation from top to bottom in front. But here's the sense from it is less than we would like. Don't expect miracles. A fanless HTPC will work, but a fanless gaming one won't. 2. The transparent cover is scratched. Over time, this will start to show. The timing of when this happens depends on your accuracy. On the other hand, the manufacture of a new one to order ~ 500r. 3. The stock cooler on the back wall is neither bad nor good. Moderately noisy, moderately productive.

    Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

    The case is very cool, I recommend it. I assembled a server on E-ATX in it. What I described in the minuses is rather critical for me personally. For example, I wanted to connect a video card through a riser, so that it would not occupy the pci x16 slot, since it is needed purely for a plug, but it does not work out that way. With glass - he simply did not shoot the film and put his booty to the world at a temporary location. In order to organize ventilation (pipe), I did not remove the film…

    Pros
    • Relatively small size Good ventilation E-ATX Motherboard 4 slots for 2.5 or 2 for 3.5 drives. Possibility of installation of additional drives on the "bottom" wall. Ability to install an ATX power supply Horizontal and vertical placement Price.
    Cons
    • Acrylic glass - the very fact of its presence is a minus for me. The lack of the possibility of horizontal installation of the video card. Lack of ventilation in the place where devices are attached 3.5 (2.5), critical for HDD, unless of course you are worried about their health :-)

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    Good value for money, I recommend it.

    I assembled Ryzen 5 2600 in it on msi b450m mortar titanium 1660ti palit (two-fan). The temperatures could have been lower if the block had not been in front and there was a blowing fan instead, but they are not critical (and the CPU and the video card never heat up above 70 degrees, even in Metro Exodus on ultras). In general, the impressions of the case are positive, because I counted on compactness and the ability to see iron through some kind of glass.

    Pros
    • Compact. Minimalistic design. There is nothing unnecessary inside, no partitions, a full-sized mother will fit. Dust filters on magnets at the top and front. There is a place behind the back cover for cable management. The power button is on the side (some will consider it a minus, but in my case it’s ideal, because it stands with the front part in the cabinet wall).
    Cons
    • The stock fan is cracking and it's a 3 pin fan. It's acrylic, not glass. The power supply (unless you have an itx motherboard) is located vertically on the front wall, which negatively affects the ventilation.

    The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

    shoved into him Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Video card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super Motherboard: MSI B450M MORTAR RAM: HyperX Fury 2x8GB 3200 Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX GTE Fans: Deepcool RGB x3 PSU: Chieftec 750W 80 Gold M2 SSD HD: 512GB 1TB 1TB What is on the other side is better not to see))) It's just a mess. But all the wires got in, stuffed (there is enough space there) and closed it with a side wall. In the future, I will most likely remove the PSU down, because it is somehow stupid…

    Pros
    • The case is compact, well-ventilated, inexpensive. Appearance 10 out of 10. A separate plus for variations of its appearance. Put it upside down.
    Cons
    • Slightly screwed the racks from the motherboard. Of course, I would like tempered glass, it would be generally top. Be careful with the bottom filter, I bent it a lot while moving it. He's recovering, but still.

    A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

    Drives are mounted under the back cover, remaining there in a completely enclosed space. As a result, my Sata HDD was lost by the system due to wild overheating. It was impossible to hold a hand. I had to hang it on the side wall; the heat from it is drawn out by the power supply fan. This forced collective farm, of course, greatly overshadows the joys after assembling a new system. SSD SATA drive feels calm under the bottom.

    Pros
    • • Compact. Stylish (thanks to grids with geometric patterns) • Sufficiently adequate equipment. • Ability to put it horizontally (that's why I took it) • Acceptable cost (3500)
    Cons
    • • Disc mounts. (I almost said goodbye to 500gb Barracuda) (see note) • Flimsy construction. • Protective mesh for the lower plane barely covers it completely and rests on a bunch of rubber bands. • The magnetic vinyl on which the grids are held is cut crooked in places. • Due to the compactness and the fact that all the walls are through for air, it is difficult to navigate in the planning of air blowing and blowing systems. • Too low legs when placed horizontally (I have it on the receiver)

    Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

    My daughter loves mazes, but to print them out, to clutter up the house with this too . I came to the conclusion that it would be more convenient to download mazes and let her draw on them through a tablet. But it's inconvenient. Use your finger (it is always clean) to drive through the maze. In this case, the part is not visible, the hand covers. So I took the stylus. And he justifies himself.

    Pros
    • Heavy Comfortably pleasing tablet through glass Przhinit
    Cons
    • The removed cap is not attached anywhere - you have to "look after" it Why is there a pen.

    Excellent product, the best quality.

    a chic body that gives free rein to fantasy, can be placed vertically in 3x! planes (even with the back panel to the top) well, you can flatten both on the right and on the left wall! The socket with buttons can be moved around the case anywhere, in three places on each side you can place it! RESULT: the case is small - this is a PLUS, but in order to place everything in it, you need to sweat, in principle, this is also a kind of plus, I think :) it is difficult for him to find equal…

    Pros
    • it's a master cooler, so it's a plus sign without looking. it's a case for an ATX mother, but the size is like for a micro ATX! this is achieved due to the fact that the PSU hangs on the side (another plus for the special mount into which the block itself is inserted, and then it is attached (for me it is convenient)) the quality of the materials is very good, it's nice to dig into it and didn't cut a single finger! Ventilation! of course it is, if someone had few nets in the case . then here it consists of them :) Another plus for the width of the case, it saves a lot. The button panel is one of the critical factors for me. there is a PC nearby, and someone will come up, lean on it . and the buttons are usually on top, but here they are where you want, this was one of the key points in the direction of choosing this case.
    Cons
    • oddly enough "compact" due to the fact that the power supply is on the side, and even I have it longer than the standard one . I had to sweat, in the end I had to use it with the button down, but the 220v wires in the case were not long enough, so I had to increase . in other positions, the 2x fan dropsy did not want to fit in any way, but after jumping with a ruler and thinking a little . in general, the second time I was able to shove everything. For me, the minus is that there is not enough space for HDD and SSD . I need to shove at least 3-HDD and 1-SSD . this is in addition to 2x m2, which are on the mother . as a result, 2xdd hung behind the mother in the designated places, one lay down on the bottom wall, and the ssd was simply not screwed behind the side wall . one more nuance is the size of the video card, if you have a large power supply unit and it is not located in the extreme upper position, then the card can rest against it.

    The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

    I will add a few more controversial points in the case, which are not minuses, these are rather features of the case: 1. Support valves up to 140mm. Rear wall only 120 mm. When installing an ATX mother, only 120 mm fans will fit at the bottom. Only 120 mm will fit on the front wall with an ATX power supply, with SFX you can put 140 mm. 2. An acrylic wall is a nice thing, especially if there is a backlight, but you have to pay for it with sound insulation. In a good way, the edges of the frame…

    Pros
    • 1. Unusual appearance, stands out from the background of most "bricks". 2. The case is definitely worth the price. 3. No front plastic panel. Personally, I was always annoyed by this part of the body, “felt boots” of dust constantly accumulated there. 4. The case does not vibrate, does not make any nasty sounds (rubber legs). 5. I would not say that there are many ways to install valves, a power supply unit and a CBO radiator, but there is a choice. Tower coolers taller than the Zalman CNPS10X Optima (about 15.5cm measured from the mount foot) can hit the acrylic window. 6. Full support for ATX components. PSU sizes L-W-H (160-150-86) will feel great. 7. The internal power wire has a good section. No power cuts were observed. 8. Installation of the functional panel in three positions. 9. Large "pockets" for hiding cables. 10. This is the smallest case for ATX components that do not overlap each other's illumination, and at the same time do not allow hot air to stagnate inside for a long time. By the way, in fact, it turned out to be even less than the manufacturer writes L-Sh-V (370-200-370). 11. There is quite enough space and number of installed drives, if you wish, you can put another 3.5 on the bottom of the case, although I don’t understand why so many drives are needed at all.
    Cons
    • 1. The fan in the kit is complete trash, without it the price would be 250 lower. 2. The plates for disks have not been finalized, if the power plug is angular, then 2.5 format drives can only be installed with the sockets down, and plus you still have to increase the height. 3. The edges of the lower mesh are not closed, if accidentally touched, it is easily deformed and very difficult to straighten.

    The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

    I took it for doubling from 8 to 16 GB. The board pulls up to 16GB. Processor core i7, pulls up to 32GB. Due to the fact that 16GB is the edge for the motherboard, the RAM suffered errors and crashes, apparently due to bus overload in two-room mode. (Individually, each bar worked perfectly, 0 errors). I had to increase some timings (only by 1). I set it up by trial and error, with a test through memtest86. Now everything works fine, 0 errors. Do not panic and everything will fall into place…

    Pros
    • Low landing, price, quality at the level
    Cons
    • I didn’t find it, all the shortcomings are related to the inability of buyers to select and, if necessary, configure the operation of RAM in the BIOS.

    I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

    Bought and collected. The SSD moved to the front wall-holes, there were no many problems. The power supply has more than three fixation positions due to multiple holes. You can put up to 6 pieces of 120 mm fans in this case. To put 140 mm fans at the top, you will have to calculate the position of the power supply, if the ATX mother then do not put 140 mm fans at the bottom, but if the fan is thinner than 25 mm, then they will fit (rare fans). screwed up the glass. In principle, the case is…

    Pros
    • - The case in real life looks more beautiful than in the photo. - You can put it, you can put it, and you can put it upside down. - four-sided blowing. - dust filters. - not expensive. -very compact for ATX boards. - there is plenty of space behind the wall for cable management.
    Cons
    • -mount for ssd against the processor. hard drives without ventilation. -140 mm towers will not fit. - 140 mm fans can only be installed following a few points. -it was possible to put one more dust collector in the kit, both the front and the top one (nitpicking).

    I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

    The body is the bomb. For some time, a computer based on an ATX motherboard lived in it. And he took her in. HDDs are of course a bit hot (I saw a maximum of 42 °), SSDs feel better (about 35-38 °). I have 2 HDDs behind the side wall in their native places (this is behind the wall from the motherboard), I put 2 more SSDs horizontally on the front wall. Now I assembled a new system on a MicroATX motherboard and there was more than enough space for assembly.

    Pros
    • A super comfortable case, beautiful in appearance, quiet in operation, and a small size for ATX boards is generally a rarity.
    Cons
    • Can't install many drives, no space for CD/DVD drive.

    The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

    There was a question of expanding the RAM on a not the newest Asus U30SD laptop with an Intel® Core™ i3 2310M processor and an Intel® HM65 Express chipset. I had two 2 GB sticks installed, that is, it was necessary to expand the RAM by replacing one or both sticks with larger ones. On the official Asus website about the RAM of this laptop, the ambiguous phrase "DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 G SDRAM" is indicated. And if the question about the frequency…

    Pros
    • Installed in a laptop, turned on without problems, the first time. The bar is like a bar, the laptop did not get hotter, it came up despite doubts (see comment)
    Cons
    • Unless, subjectively, the price could be a little lower.
