Introduction
I would like to thank
Cooler Master for supplying the review sample.
Cooler Master is launching the Mastercase H500P today, and we are fortunate enough to be able to review the chassis and give you a thorough look into it. The H500P draws inspiration from the HAF series, which was quite a successful line, spawning numerous models over about half a decade. While the Cooler Master Mastercase H500P may have some elements that remind us of these, it looks vastly different and comes with modern features and design elements.

Packaging
Cooler Master packs the Mastercase H500P into a fully colored cardboard box with an image of the enclosure on the front. You will find additional information about the special features of the chassis on the back; a smaller side holds an image of the chassis while the other has a list of its specifications.
Besides the thick plastic bag and large Styrofoam spacers, Cooler Master has placed the chassis inside a gray cloth bag with handles, which makes unpacking the Mastercase H500P super easy even though it is neither that light or small. The bag is a cool addition and brings back memories of the black bags used for some Cooler Master enclosures in the past.
