Cooler Master is one of the older names in gaming cases, and they’ve pioneered a lot of what we use today. While most if their innovations have been in the cooler industry, their cases are not an exception. Cut-outs behind the motherboard tray for easy access to cooler back plates? That was Cooler Master. Covers for said cut-outs? That, too, was Cooler Master. The company has come a long way with their case designs, and today we’re having a look at their MasterBox K500 offering, which is available in black.

Cases can be tricky things to review objectively as there are so few things to discuss. Does the case support the form factor of my motherboard? Does the case offer enough drive bays? Does the case have enough clearance for my CPU cooler and graphics card? Does the case offer lighting, or a windowed side panel? Those questions can all be answered by reading the specifications on the manufacturer’s website, and almost everything else is subjective. That said, let’s have a look at what the MasterBox K500 has to offer.
