Cooler Master has launched a new mid-tower chassis called The MasterBox K500L.
The K500L sports an angular, extruded frontal fascia with a geometric mesh section that covers two fans. A third fan is actually hidden behind the solid section above the mesh, but a vent between it and the angled top I/O panel provides for ample air intake. The top panel has a large mesh cutout, and the left-side panel can be had as a transparent acrylic sheet which attaches by four thumbscrews.
The internal layout is split to two sections by a tunnel that covers the PSU (up to 180mm in length) and 3.5” drive cage, which fits two drives. The case fits motherboards up to ATX standard, graphics cards up to 400mm in length, and six 2.5” drives. There are seven expansion slots in total. There is notany optional parts for mounting a graphics card in a rotated position .
On the cooling, the K500L can fit three 120mm fans or dual 140mm fans with a radiator at the front, dual 120mm fans at the top, and a single 120mm fan with radiator at the rear.
The Cooler Master MasterBox K500L is available in versions with a left-side panel constructed from either steel or acrylic. Both versions have an MSRP of $65.
