Cooler Master Masterbox TD500 Mesh V2 Case Review

Build Quality

This isn’t a very expensive case, but it’s hardly bargain bin stuff either at £100, but at that price you certainly want to see some quality construction. Thankfully, Cooler Master doesn’t let us down in this regard. There is a lot of plastic on the front panel, but it’s nicely done and the materials are well-finished. If anything, that geometric design and the way it’s cut into the glass too only makes the plastic look even better.

The front panel filter is the fine mesh design, there’s no separate filter, but this is honestly good enough, you simply just wipe down or hoover the front of the case when it gets too messy.

There’s a full-length magnetic dust filter up on the top. Just lift it out of the way and you can easily clean it.

There’s also a dust filter on the bottom of the case for the PSU.

The side panels are of good quality, with sturdy glass on the left side, and even the right side panel feels pretty robust with very little flex to it.

On the interior, there’s a durable interior structure, with thick steel and it’s even nicely painted too, it looks like there are a few good coats on there.

The expansion slot covers are all metal and reusable too, which is great.

The front fans are excellent quality too, and all come pre-installed and wired which is handy. They’re Cooler Master’s own CF120 ARGB fan design.
