Cooler Master HAF 500 Case Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
I would like to thank Cooler Master for supplying the review sample.
The High Air Flow—HAF for short—series has been around for nearly 15 years, and Cooler Master keeps releasing new variants and versions. The last of these which we reviewed was the Mastercase H500 back in 2019. With the recently launched HAF 500 we are reviewing today, Cooler Master has yet again built on the previous generation to give potential users what they consider to be a modern, competitive high-airflow ATX enclosure. Available in black or white, we received the black variant for review.
