Cooler Master Announces the Masterbox K Series of PC Cases
Cooler Master has introduced the K500L case, the first in their new MasterBox K-Series lineup. The design philosophy of the K lineup, and the masterBox K500L in particular, speaks of illuminated accents, fine mesh that Cooler Master says is 3D in the way it accents and cuts the red lighting (that emphasizes "gaming") across the case - all without breaking the wallet.
Space is considerable, but not vast; there's support for up to 400mm of graphics cards, up to 6x 120 mm fans, front (240 mm) and rear (120 mm) water cooling support, up to 180 mm power supplies and up to 160 mm tower coolers, which should be enough for the vast majority of solutions in the market. There are also two lighted accents on each side of the front panel mesh, which extend the glow of the pre-installed red LED fans and power button.
Pricing & Availability
The MasterBox K500L will be available for 59 Euro / 65 USD / £54.99 MSRP Inc. VAT

CM, haven't you learn the hard way to how make these more practical?
'', up to 6x 120 mm fans '' why ? aint todays hardware so power efficient and all you see claimed heat should not be a factor as it was back in the power wasting days and not a s fancy coolers like on todays GPU's
i'll say it again '' its all about gimmicks and hype over practical use ,service and support ''
'' Lighting Effects: Stand out and be unique through LED strip in front. Your case will never be unremarkable'
so what mine is unremarkable but then its what my build puts on the display is what I look at not the disco tech going on in a case ..lol... [maybe the next strong selling point could be when the led's are in full swing the case or parts play 1970 bee gee's or disco duck in a loop ? ]
**Covers fans with a piece of acrylic and only leaves a tiny opening up top**
And these cases with buttons and ports on top
let dust in to mess things up.
Just pointing out some "other features".
No thanks! At least 525 x 230 x 485
Actually i like the case interior, design is different, is practical! case front needs more evaluation for airflow and dust protection. but well played CM!
Regards,
I have a similar Mastercase with acrylic front that crunches all day, and never gets close to being hot.
