I feel like a solid aluminium panel would have worked better here and matched side door panels.
Both the left and right side tempered glass doors panels are hinged for quick and convenient access.
There isn’t anything to exciting going on underneath the case.
There’s four pretty standard looking plastic feet and a removable dust filter for the PSU.
The top filter is held in place with four magnets while the front filter gets eight.
Both can be removed in seconds without the need for tools a great design by Corsair.
Corsair has provided mounting holes for all the commonly used kits.
This lets you mount all the hardware outside of the case.
You’ll be hard pressed to find something that doesn’t fit in this generously sized mid-tower.
These things are never cheap though and good quality shielded versions often cost over $50.
Making life easier are included velcro straps and cable routing grommets for quick and easy cable routing.
The graphics card of choice was theMSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Trioand what a beast this thing is.
What an RGB bonanza this turned out to be.
Both the CPU and GPU were left at their stock parameters for these tests.
Otherwise, I feel like the 500D does a good job of balancing looks with practicality.
For instance, the case’s hinged tempered glass doors are of the highest quality.
Pros:Unmatched build quality for a case in this category.
Sleek looks courtesy of glass and aluminum.
Clearance for virtually all hardware.
