The Cooler Master HAF 500 offers excellent airflow and spacious interior design with thoughtful features like a rotatable GPU fan and tool-less drive mounting.
Renaming MasterCase H500 as HAF 500 looks like a non-too-subtle way of extending its life for another year or two.
The Cooler Master HAF 500 offers excellent thermal performance and build quality but is held back by dated design elements and premium pricing that doesn't match its value proposition.
Superior cooling will put the Cooler Master HAF 500 case atop many buyers' shopping lists, but its good looks and great ventilation come at a cost: lack of filters and lightweight build quality.
