Product overview
Released in 2020, the MasterCase H500 ARGB refreshes Cooler Master’s H‑Series H500 design with addressable‑RGB 200 mm front fans and a controller. It targets the mainstream mid‑tower market—built to offer big‑fan airflow and easy lighting without premium pricing. It’s now listed as a Legacy Product on Cooler Master’s site, indicating discontinuation.
Fit highlights: ATX/mATX/ITX (limited E‑ATX), GPUs up to 410 mm, CPU coolers to 167 mm, and ATX PSUs. Cooling is the draw—dual 200 mm front intake plus a rear 120 mm, filtered top, and room for a 360 mm front radiator. Tempered glass and front I/O with 2× USB 3.0 and separate mic/headphone jacks suit airflow and showcase/RGB builds; high GPU clearance helps long cards. Unique: it ships with both mesh and clear front panels and has a top carry handle.
