They're not just products; they're extensions of our commitment to empower our community's PC-building and gaming adventures."

• Begin the Adventure from Unboxing: From the moment you unwrap the Qube 500 Flatpack and the MasterLiquid Atmos, your engaging and exciting building journey commences.
• Eco-Conscious Crafting: Both the Qube and Atmos proudly champion an eco-forward approach, utilizing recyclable components and adopting minimalistic, sustainable packaging.
• Redefining Engagement: Dive into an immersive experience whether you're piecing together your Qube case panel by panel or smoothly orchestrating your Atmos cooling dynamics. They are reshaping the way users interact and build.

The Qube 500 Flatpack features:

• DIY for everyone: The flatpack design allows for a fun and flexible build experience that beginners and long-time builders can enjoy.
• Fully modular: Features modular panels that simplify and streamline the usual case prep process.
• Comprehensive compatibility: Despite its compact size, the Qube 500 is an ATX case featuring compatibility with E-ATX motherboards, water coolers and the largest GPUs.
• Color your way: Multiple available colorways add another layer of creative expression, allowing you to move on from simple black or white color options.

While the MasterLiquid Atmos features:

• Exceptional silence: Pre-installed SickleFlow Edge 120 fans use loop dynamic bearings for ultra-quiet performance. Factory-tested performance is backed up by extra-long lifespans.
• Fully customizable: Customize the pump top cover with your 3D designs and take full control of the ARGB Gen 2 lighting. The Atmos provides unprecedented creative freedom.
• Refined dual chamber design: Our signature dual chamber pump has been refined for enhanced cooling synergy.

If you want a build experience that brings something new to the table while maintaining robust performance specs and high customization, then step into the future of DIY with the MasterLiquid Atmos and Qube 500 Flatpack.

I like these kinda cases that you can make modular and add on to. They should be affordable.

Hello CoolerMaster:

It would appear from the 1st pic on the left that one could mix & match the different colored panels ?

If true, please send me every case you can manufacture, as soon as they roll off the production lines, & just bill my cc that you have on file, as I have many clients that have inquired about this exact possibility, which until now, I have yet to find a solution for

I wouldn't call this a "flatpack" given that the box dimensions look to be nearly 10 inches tall. It's more of a modular case. The In Win POC is a true flatpack.

I like how the case can be laid down in whatever orientation, but they'd really need to give it a sturdier side panel instead of glass crap, this way you can't lay it down and put stuff on top of it.

Yes just what I have been waiting for to replace my aging HAF XB. I hope these are available soon.

See the animation here. Looks pretty flat to me.

The stills I've seen of the box during unboxings just look like they've shifted dimensions around and it appears to be almost 3 times the height of the In Win POC box. In Win's is about the size of a pizza box (you can see it clearly in the video posted at the bottom of their product page. That too thick to be considered flat packing, it's more like narrowing a traditional case package and turning it on its side. It really boils down to what the cubic size difference between a box for a similar size case and this particular Cooler Master case. If there isn't a significant reduction in volume, then it's marketing bs.

I watched trhe Kitguru video of this and don't know why they are mentioning a 360 AIO with it as there is nowhere to put that in this case that makes sense.

So what you're saying is that everything IKEA sells it not flat packaging then?

Not everything. If the packaging is similar dimensions on all 3 sides, I wouldn't consider that flat packed.

Hi there, Xiao wei from Cooler Master case department, the R&D lead on this project.
First of all Thanks for your feedback! and You're right, the QUBE 500 is definitely thicker packed than the INwin POC or the Teenage engineering Computer-1. We chose to go a different route because we didn't believe having to bend your own panels would be something that a "normal" or mainstream kind of user would find the right user experience. So we tried to make it as flat as possible, but still keep each panel rigid enough that it could be assembled piecemeal. That meant that the steel panelling would have embossings and bends to increase the stiffness and in effect lower the "Flatpackability" of it. Perhaps we could eliminate more air in the future, but for the QUBE this was as flat as we could get it.

Yes just what I have been waiting for to replace my aging HAF XB. I hope these are available soon.

Haha funny you'd say that. You can put the feet on the side panel and put it on its side. Internally we have been calling it "HAF XB Mode"

You can actually, the "macaron version" has multiple panels you can exchange.
if your interested I can forward you towards the regional representative.

Thanks for that info, but I just decided to buy your entire company on Monday, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get the stuff I want...

j/k....
