Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh

Cooler Masters MasterBox TD500 Mesh V2 soll durch das "ikonische polygonale Design", die "kristalline TG-Seitenverkleidung" und drei vormontierte A-RGB-Frontlüfter auffallen.

Heute wird es weiß! Wir testen auf OCinside.de das Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh V2 in Weiß. Das Midi-Tower Gehäuse in Weiß weiß neben seinem erfrischenden Design auch mit viel Liebe zum Detail zu beeindrucken und kann mit dem optional erhältlichen Cooler Master MasterAccessory GEM sinnvoll ergänzt werden. Wie gut das neue Cooler Master Gehäuse und der MasterAccessory GEM abschneiden, zeigen wir im folgenden Test.

Das Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh V2 sticht mit einer polygonalen Mesh-Front ins Auge. Das Echtglasseitenteil besitzt zudem Einkerbungen, die das Gehäuse zusätzlich aus der Masse stechen lassen. Im Inneren soll das Gehäuse flexibel sein und genug Platz für High-End Komponenten bieten. Dazu gibt es drei ARGB-Lüfter, die über einen Controller im Gehäuse angeschlossen und auch über dieses gesteuert werden können.

Today it will be white! We test on OCinside.de the Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh V2 in white. In addition to its refreshing design, the midi-tower case in white also impresses with a lot of attention to detail and can be complemented with the optionally available Cooler Master MasterAccessory GEM. We will show how well the new Cooler Master case and the MasterAccessory GEM perform in the following review.

The latest case from Cooler Master gets pretty much everything right, and what it does wrong, are only minor issues at best, and certainly nothing that would dissuade me from purchasing a TD500 Mesh V2 of my own. There could be a vertical pass-through grommet added for the GPU power cables, that would be nice to see on a V3 of this case. Then a little cut-away to the left side of the frame, allowing for an easier angle for a screwdriver. But honestly, beyond that, I’m pretty happy with the Masterbox TD500 Mesh V2.

Cooler Master's original TD500 Mesh design was already popular, and with their v2 enhancements we expect the TD500 Mesh to continue to be a huge success for Cooler Master. Cooler Master have addressed all issues that we had with this case's predecessor, giving us nothing major to complain about with new v2 model. Cooler Master has listened to the feedback of reviewers and their fans, and as a result the TD500 Mesh v2 is an instant success.

The Cooler Master Masterbox TD500 Mesh does not set out to reinvent the wheel when it comes to function. Squarely aimed at the magic $100 mark, it aims to offer good airflow with the full metal front and three pre-installed fans with built-in RGB elements in their hubs. You will get a controller to drive that so long as you make sure to buy the right variant as Cooler Master also offers the TD500 Mesh without that additional piece of hardware. The same mentality applies to the inside. It is simple but really functional, resulting in a really clean build both visibly and behind the motherboard tray. The Masterbox TD500 Mesh can also hold four hard drives, which is enough for the vast majority of users, but I can't get over the fact that a little extra mounting hardware would have organically expanded that to a respectable six.

Alles in allem ist das Cooler Master TD500 Mesh V2 eine gute Airflow-Basis, die nur wenige Schwachstellen aufzeigt und besonders für Systeme mit einer Wasserkühlung geeignet ist. Vor allem die feinen Verbesserungen gegenüber dem Vorgänger fallen positiv auf.
