Currently, the Cooler Master Q500L is available at €49.99. For a mid-tower case that provides such features, with up to four 2.5”/two 3.5” drives as well as room for liquid coolers up to 240mm, GPUs up to 360mm, and 160mm air coolers, I'd say that the pri...

A great chassis for the money, the Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L has everything a gaming enthusiast on a budget needs, at a great price. Shortcomings such as the lack of an intake fan can easily be remedied by installing one yourself. Given the case's low...

Abstract: Last year Cooler Master released one of the coolest cases for their MasterBox series, Q300L. Q300L has Mini-Tower design which supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. The case was designed with a great concern for mobility, style, and customizabilit...

It is safe to say Cooler Master has embraced the trend towards mini tower designs. The Q500L may be small but it offers more versatility than cases more than twice its size! Not only that but it will accept a full sized ATX motherboard build and still hav...

One of the smallest ATX Case footprints, Modular aspects are well thought out, Full ATX sized component compatibility (no SFX requirements), Wide range of platform options and suggestions from ITX to ATX
GPU and PSU constraints must be considered, Lack of accessories at launch
A joy to build in and giving people who want to build a smaller system without compromising platform expandability that you don't get from mATX or ITX, but you'll want to be cautious of your GPU and PSU sizes...
