Cooler Master case Elite 500
Cooler Master case Elite 500
The Elite 500 is the essential solution for optimized cooling. Substantial ventilation on the front panel allows fresh air into the system for both air-cooled and liquid cooled configurations.
For simple tasks, the Elite 500 is a cost-effective solution to professional computing. For higher-demand tasks, the Elite 500 boasts a high compatibility for upgrades, able to house liquid cooling and provides clearance for the longest, widest graphics cards.
Large Filtered Intakes – The front panel is constructed with a substantially large, unrestricted intake grill to provide superb airflow to the system.
With/Without ODD Support – Depending on preference, an ODD version of the chassis is available. If an ODD is not preferred, a cleaner appearance and more cooling options on the top and front panels are supported. The ODD version of the Elite 500 is slightly deeper in comparison to its non-ODD counterpart.
Versatile Cooling Options – Support for up to six fans and front, top, and rear radiator support ensure that performance is not compromised.
Full Black Coating & PSU Cover: Let your system stand out with an all-black background and a PSU cover to hide cables.
Breathable Power Supply Shroud – The PSU cover is ventilated on top of the power supply location, this allows actively cooled units to be installed either with the fan facing the top or bottom, also with the possibility of installing passively cooled power supplies.
Room For Upgrades - Support for up to a 350mm graphics card (400mm in the ODD version), a 161mm CPU cooler, and multiple fans/radiators locations provides room for upgrades to stay ahead of the game.
Removable HDD Cage – The modular frame allows builders to remove the drive cage completely, providing a greater freedom in building and increased compatibility for long power supplies.
