Cooler Master TD500 Mesh White Airflow ATX Mid-Tower, Polygonal Mesh Front Panel, Crystalline Tempered Glass, 3X 120mm PWM Customizable ARGB Fans, E-ATX up to 10.5" (MCB-D500D-WGNN-S01)

During the unboxing I felt a bit underwhelmed as the case felt very light. My previous case was extremely heavy out of the box. I was also worried about space and cable management as I have two old school spinning drives as well as a solid state. This, along with the power supply looked as though it may be a bit cramped and although it was tight, everything fit well and the payoff of not seeing any of those cables was worth it. I love the box that hides the PS and it's a great spot for your favorite Funko Pop. The cable management was better than I thought it would be as I was able to hide nearly every cable in the back. There are plenty of little holes all over the place where you can route cables. I also like that the front and top are basically open grates for great air flow. Dust build up may be a problem but time will tell. The front glass is very solid and heavy, the included fans worked great out of the box and the white interior/exterior look amazing with the lights aglow. Once my build was complete I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome and have had many compliments. The price does seem a bit high for what you get but the included fans make it a bit easier to swallow. Overall I would highly recommend this case, especially if you can get it on sale.

I really like the asthetics of TD500 Mesh, and while the front grille was practically stolen from Fractal, it does look good. The default fans are decent enough and keep my 5900x around 40C at idle coupled with a Cooler Master 360 RGB water cooler. My biggest complaint about the case is the cable management behind the motherboard. It is extremely cramped and I really wish it was 1/2 an inch deeper between the motherboard tray and the "solid" side panel. If you are trying to use the included RGB controller as I did before fully rebuilding my PC (my old x99 Mobo did not have an rgb controller) you may need a 2nd person to get the side panel back on to the case. For me it was a constant struggle, as the RGB controller forces a lot of additional wires behind the motherboard. The side panel is much easier to put on without the hardware RGB controller installed, but it is still pretty tight. My case did not come with the exhaust fan, which I purchased separately. It is a Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 ARGB fan, and it barely fits. You can see in the picture that the radiator fans protrude below the exhaust fan, and the width clearance is about 1/8th in. Thicker fans, like my old (but awesome) Deltas would not fit with on the exhaust mount with this cooler in place. While the radiator and exhaust fan are a tight squeeze, my 315mm XFX 5700xt THICC 3 Ultra fits with room to spare. Overall I do love the look of this case, and am satisfied now that it is complete. However, the cabling behind the motherboard is cramped, and there are cases (Corsair 4000D airflows, for example) that offer more space to shove cables between the motherboard and case. If you plan on using the RGB controller included with this case, prepare for a struggle. If your motherboard supports it natively you will have a much easier time.

My Review: As you read in the title, this case should cost way more. For the $100 price you get every creature comfort you will see on cases double the cost. It has a spacious PSU basement, removable drive trays because who needs HDDs when you can get ridiculously large M.2 drives and 2.5” drives nowadays, plenty of cable management space, and just all around next level looks. I bought this case first and foremost because it looked cool but when I fit my rig into it I was taken away by how low my temps were, my rig is running a Ryzen 7 2700x cpu and a Radeon RX5700XT gpu, all overclocked, and my temps are like 20 degrees cooler than with my other case just going off the standard air setup. This case is definitely worth the money and should be anybody’s go to when they need a quality case for an air cool build. Pros: - Great Temps - Great Looks - All The Creature Comforts - Ample Cable Management Room Cons: - Side Glass Panel is Not Tempered (the reason for this is so they can do the engraving you can see in the pictures) - Doesn’t Come With an Exhaust Fan at The Back Final Thoughts: Overall, if the opening review or the title hasn’t hooked you then you must hate having a good PC case. This case is hands down the best case I have ever owned. I mean, it should be considered illegal to spend $200+ on PC cases when something like this exists that includes everything those cases have just with, admittedly, less of that glorious RGB.

For what you're paying this is a solid case considering you're also getting 3 argb fans along with it. Mine arrived in good shape unlike other reviews have mentioned. The case is fairly light while still feeling solidly built. The airflow of the case is great with all the mesh present on the case. It also looks great with all the lighting when running and really stands out. The design extending to the tempered glass is really cool as well and stands out from other cases with glass panels. The magnetic filter on the top is a nice touch but the PSU filter on the bottom feels like an afterthought. The ssd mounting options are clever and easy to use. The HDD cage being removable would be nice but at this price point isn't a deal breaker. The biggest downside as others have mentioned is that the cable management isn't the best. You don't have a lot of room under the PSU shroud for cable management especially if you are working with a non modular PSU. It's all still manageable and workable though and the front of the case that you can actually see looks great even if things are a bit cramped behind the scenes. Honestly this is a good case with a few small nitpicks that don't take away from the overall quality and value at this price point. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

I wanted to get a white mid ATX tower to frame my PC build - my goal was to build a PC for a blend of work and mid-tier AAA gaming and this case fit the bill, esp when I bought it, the price was still right at $99. Here's my current setup: AMD Ryzen5 5600x (65W TDP) Zotac RTX3060 12GB TwinEdge OC GPU (170W TDP) G.Skillz TridentZ 2x8GB RAM 3200 MHz CL16 MSI B550 Carbon Gaming Wifi MoBo WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD Enermax AQUAfusion 240 AIO liquid cooler Thermaltake 550W Bronze 80+ PSU CoolerMaster TD500 mid-ATX case 24" Lenovo QHD 1440p 75MHz LED monitor The ATX case had to be white because IMHO, a white case reflects light better if you have components with aRGB LED lighting. I didn't want to use a whole lot of power, so my goal was a decent mid-tier rig that was energy efficient with a 550W PSU - so I wanted to go with the newest low TDP AMD CPU, the Ryzen 5 5600x with a GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU. Pros: 1) The overall look of the case - white and the 3 stock aRGB fans that work seamlessly with MSI Mystic Light. 2) The tinted tempered glass with the fractal edges is nice to look at. 3) There is room to install a 2-fan 240mm AIO water-cooler on top. 4) The magnetic flexible grille on the top is a nice touch. 5) Two front USB 3.0 connectors. 6) Already has three aRGB fans in the case! The stock fans are quiet and connected with my MSI mobo seamlessly and I control all three on three dedicated fan headers with smart variable fan speed based on CPU core temps. 7) When gaming, I am able to maintain 56-57C CPU (steady state) core temp (haven't tried PBO2 overclock/undervolting yet) with slight GPU manual overclock 1950~2000Mhz on the RTX 3060 GPU @65 C max. This is with running the AIO water pump at 58% max speed with smart control at around 2000 RPM (max is 3400 RPM) and the radiator fans on smart PWM control. Standby mode is around 35C. Cons: 1) I wish the front USB 3.0 cable connector was longer so it could be hidden better - to me it's a bit of an eyesore that this thick cable sits on top of the PSU bump-out and does a big U-turn to connect to the mobo. 2) Two of the stock fans are screwed in, but the third fan on the bottom is plastic-welded in...what's up with that? Kinda sucks if you are looking to reposition fans. 3) The dust filter for the PSU fan inlet at the bottom of the case is very flimsy and is easily knocked off if you are careless. 4) It doesn't have a front USB-c connector. 5) Part of it was my carelessness, but two of the PSU mount holes may have been slightly off-center which caused me to strip two screw holes for the PSU - oh well.

PROs: -Looks -Mesh front panel -Separate power supply bay -Lots of cable pass-throughs and grommets -Enough hardware included -Price vs similar designs -3x 120mm RGB + controller included -Felt sturdy and solid throughout for 'budget' case -Great cooling options -2 mounting options for up to 360mm radiator, could accommodate a 240mm + a 360mm at same time -will hold a long graphics card (9" 2-fan pictured) CONS: -Only 2 front USB -HDD cage screwed and riveted - needs to be removable -SSD mounting grommet + pin is neat idea, but in practice cables make SSD pop out of place -Right/bottom side not nearly deep enough for cable management. It's a real struggle requiring a 3rd or 4th hand to get the metal panel on properly. -PSU filter is clipped on junk & should be same magnet design top OVERALL: I'm happy and will call it 5* because of the features, looks, and price. Was a pretty easy build but i used a semi-modular Seasonic 650W PSU that isn't very deep. That left me a little room behind PSU for cable tucking and I only needed 1 modular run from it. So getting everything installed and all the parts you can see prettied up wasn't difficult. I like the offset channel top which made mounting the 360mm rad up top real easy too. I experienced none of the issues I saw frequently in reviews like shipping damage or missing hardware. Biggest gripe/difficulty was the cable management. Case gives great options to make the area you can see pretty. Horrible options to hide/route/manage what you want hidden. The permanently fixed HDD cage "wall" prevents excess PSU cables getting tucked there. The overall cavity for dressing/tucking unused length of wire is very, very shallow and even the most minimal of cable runs and SSD connectors is pushing the back/right side of case making it difficult to close or easy to accidentally disconnect something like a RGB fan 3pin connection. I used braided white extensions & combs just to look pretty. But that meant I was in effect managing every bit of the PSU cables behind mobo tray and there simply isn't room to do that well. About an inch deeper on the right side for routing cables would be perfect. Usable as-is (obviously) but if you took both side panels off my build, you'd look at one side and say "wow, how neatly built" then look at the other side and say "what happened?"

Overall, this case is very nice looking and has excellent airflow, and I am happy with it. However, it has one characteristic that I think everyone should know about (but many are not aware of): It uses the ARGB standard (3-pin, 5V), not the RGB (4-pin, 12V) standard, for its fan lighting. What that means is: If you (like me) happen to have a motherboard that supports RGB (but not ARGB), you will be unable to control your lighting effects via motherboard. Instead, you will be limited to controlling your case fan lighting via a small physical controller device that comes with this case (that you can tuck away inside your case, or alternatively link with your reset switch so you can control it via the reset button on the front of your case). But you will be limited to a relatively small number of lighting styles that can only be changed via physical button clicks, rather than infinitely customized via software. Interestingly, it seems that the ARGB standard is actually more modern (and flexible) than the RGB standard. However, one should be aware that many motherboards only natively support the older RGB standard, rather than the newer ARGB standard. In case anybody is interested and has read this far: There are a very small number of ARGB-to-RGB converters (e.g., Razer and DeepCool) available on the market to resolve this compatibility problem, but they do not appear to be completely reliable and safe, so I may not use them. Alternatively, one can perhaps buy a separate controller that accepts ARGB and plugs into USB apparently. (I'm still researching this.) However, bottom line: For full software control of the ARGB fan lighting that comes with this case, be sure your motherboard natively supports the ARGB standard, rather than only the RGB standard.

Note that my experience with this case was transferring from a Corsair Carbide 100R, a cheaper and much flimsier case. Overall really impressed. Feels very sturdy but also doesn't weigh a ton, cable management is good with plenty of tie down points for zip ties or cable ties. Fans are nice and quiet and seem to do a good job of keeping my system cool (Ryzen 5 3600 with Hyper 212 RGB Cooler, MSI Armor RTX 2070). I really like the grooves etched in the tempered glass panel, adds a little bit of flair that other cases were lacking for me and I feel it helps it stand out from the rest. The only complaint that I do have with it (and it is a small one) is that the power supply window is a little too short to display the entire label on my power supply (Corsair RM750X) but that really doesn't bother me all that much. Overall very happy.

Fantastic case ! Glass door look fantastic. Strongly recommend this one !

Con un año y meses de uso, puedo decir que es un buen gabinete, tiene buen flujo de aire, me gustó que la lámina se siente resistente, los ventiladores suministrados están bonitos, pero como estoy casado con Noctua simplemente los quité y cambié todo sacrificando las luces por un flujo de aire mejor. La gestión de cables es buena, me gustó que tiene muchos lugares para las bridas. Usé un dicipador noctua NH D15 chromax black y entró ganial con todo y sus tapas superiores embellecedoras. El espacio de los HDD es bueno y los cables son fáciles de organizar. Sobre la gestión de cables con los SSD la desconozco, no utilize estos espacios pues use los puertos M.2. Lo único que no me gustó fué la calidad de los puerto USB frontales, los senti algo delicados y se dejaron de usar. Ésto no es algo particular de esta marca, muchos gabinetes traen estos puertos USB de baja o regular calidad. Finalmente el paquete llegó en buen tiempo y en buenas condiciones.

It’s the best looking case from the same price range and design looks cool with a white setup

There are a lot of great things with this case, for example: - Lots of fan mounts (7x120mm fans total, or 2x140mm - 2x top + 4x120mm) - Can support up to a 360mm (3x120mm) radiator in the top for exhaust/intake for an AIO or custom open loop - Plenty of cable management space, and the included cable routing cutouts are very easy to use. - Tempered glass side panel to see your build -Great top and front meshes for better filtering of air And for the downsides, one is certainly the power supply mesh, as it's a clip in one. Rather than a proper filter, it's just a square metal mesh that clips into a few hooks on the bottom. Additionally, my 3x120mm stock fans kinda conked out on the RGB brightness within 3 months of owning it, and the RGB controller I received never actually was able to change the presets, and the colours just changed when they felt like changing. Aside from that, I personally think the white case looks much nicer, and would highly recommend this case to anyone considering a mesh case. Side note, I have added 3x120mm Sickleflow fans also from CM, would recommend those too. (Mounted 2x intake on top support, one exhaust. Default fan config for the case is 3x120mm intakes if you're curious).

Air flow will be a problem if you’re graphics card is big but other than that it’s awesome, enough space to fit everything, cable management is also clean, worth the price.
