Review: Cooler Master MasterCase H500M

Review: Cooler Master MasterCase H500M

Join us for a review of the new MasterCase H500M from Cooler Master. The new chassis has that familiar in-house CM feel, yet was brought into the year 2018 with some nice modern features and the ability to go all stealth with the stuff you do not want to show. Intrigued? Sure you are, let's have a look, shall we?

Thanks for this fantastic review!

I was looking for a case with a dual 200 mm front and top fan option to replace my aging HAF-XM.

Probably the search has ended. :)

Only 200mm fan that is worth buying is the Noctua NF-A20
That fan doesn't fit in the H500P/M as the mounting holes don't align up so I ended up "modding" the Noctua fans.

That is the whole problem with 200mm fans imho, there's no standard mounting for those fans unlike the 80/90/120/140 which you know will just fit in any case. About every vendor has his own take on how 200mm fans should be mounted.

I would say most people dont have 6 HDDs in RAID.

That may be true, but there are still some people who do need lots of drives, for many reasons. Ask any video editor how much 1 hour of their 200-400mbps 4K video from the professional camera occupies...

Luckily, for those people there are still cases like the Define R6 which come natively with 6 movable drive bays.

But of course, this particular CoolerMaster case if for the "gamer" crowd so... eh.

I see a quick reference in this review about filtration throughout the case, are we talking dust filters as I've searched through various sites about this case and I'm getting conflicting info as some say the front mesh has a dust filter and others say it doesn't.

This case looks an ideal replacement for the Haf 932 advanced that I'm still using but as I like rgb lighting and having received a soundblaster ae-5 pure sound card with 4 rgb strips for Christmas, one strip I have installed in the haf 932 as the side panel has a small ish window lol.

I purchased the demciflex dust filler kit when I brought the haf 932 and I literally only open it up to clean twice a year, every 6 months and even then there's hardly any dust buildup up anywhere apart from at the bottom of the case so if this H500M has a filleted front mesh then I'll certainly get one, I know the psu has a filter you just pull out to clean just need confirmation that the front mesh is filleted as well.
