Ok so this case has a couple flaws. First the front panel's plastic severely limits it's air flow, so much so that CM has even updated the case with a new mesh front panel.... but jokes on them, because I fixed it myself haha.

Second awesome thing about this case? With a few modifications you can fit a 400mm radiator in the front, for the ultimate custom loop.

It has a vertical GPU mount as well... though there is an issue with this as there are no supports for the GPU which causes it to wobble. I was able to remedy this using my 3D printer. I made a little bracket to support the GPU and PCIe extension (see pics).

This case has SO much potential. If you are not big on case modding however, maybe wait for their updated one, the H500M I think? It will be a little better with the same basic design. They are also making the same exact case (H500P) in all white, with the updated mesh front.

Worked and looked great... Until I got the wise idea to try to cut out and install a side window panel on it. Other then that this case is great at keeping your PC just a little bit quieter. I love that the USB ports are separate from the swivel door, my old case they where behind it so you needed to open the door to use them. And the integrated SD is also handy for those bizarre occasions when you need it. Finally the easily removable front filter is great when trying to install a 240mm radiator or just when you want to clean it on the occasion. (I put a deepcool captain 240mm in it).

This is a lux case --no question about it. A tank that's easy to access-easier to build on. Nice setup for nearly anything. Great airflow --6 fans and cooling on CPU and GPU. Im rebuilding it right now. New CPU-GPU -32 gigs ram and 500 Gig SSD --4 T networked HDD. Im a photographer and it does all of my digital darkroom work nicely but will do it faster--less crashy with the new hardware. I occasionally use it to record guitar tracks.Has all of the room I need for photo work and recording. A cool mix and not simple to do.

Looking for the max--look no further.

You can rotate the drive cages in this and mount 2 120m fans to them. I reversed my cages so the fans were close to my video card. I love that feature. You can modify the X-Dock so that it accepts a trayless CD drive. One of the drive bay covers has a perforated grill to punch out a 3 1/2 inch hole if your interested. You can remove the drive cages and fit a 360m radiator in the front. You can put 240m/280m radiator in the top and or a 240m/280m radiator on the bottom. I wish there was more places to mount the giant 220m fan at the top because if you stick a rad up there, you can no longer use the giant fan.
*Because of the way the side panel is designed on the back side, you have tons of room for cables management.
*My tower failed to come with the plastic drive trays for the drive cages. There is a removable 4 tray SSD cage inside though.
*The big 220m fan does not light up.
*You can use the LED/fan controller separately to control other light sources if you plug them in to it.
*It has a drawer that slides out the front so you can stash your stuff. Screws and Cds etc. Its behind that bottom cover in the front with the logo on it. *It has screen filters everywhere! Even the drive bay covers have screens on them.
*This case is solid. It comes a part easily and puts back together just as easy.
*You can mount 2 140m fans at the top.
*There is enough room for a push configuration on a radiator up top inside. you can however mount another 120m or 140m under the plastic grill on the top outside of the case.
*Because of the big rubber handle, you can only get a way with a 3 fan push pull on top.
*There is a odd slot in the back with little holes in its cover. It looks like a vertical com port. you can run your mouse/keyboard and other cables through that to lock them to you case. You know.. if your at a lan party and need a way to lock down your stuff to the case.

This case is beautiful. It has lots of space for everything-you might have to move or remove some of the pre-installed cages but it will fit a gaming system fine. I have a 1070x gaming graphics card, a huge CPU heatsync, and all the other parts for a gaming rig and it all fits nicely and it has room for making it all neat inside. Wonderful case, silent fans come with it and it has room for more-not that it needs it. I recommend this for a gaming system.
