Cooler Master gets it RIGHT this time: New H500P Mesh White!

2018-01-15
fit wits coverage of CES 2018 is brought to you by fantex and cable mock click the links in the description below for more info so I actually stopped by the cooler master suite earlier and they had two cases in particular that I want to share with you guys first of which is their H 500 P mesh in white by the name you can probably tell that they've swapped out the acrylic front panel for a full mesh panel which is awesome it's actually also got a built-in dust filter so the only problem with that I could see is that the dust would accumulate on the outside of your case and so it might promise you to clean it more often because it might look nasty but overall you should be getting nearly unimpeded airflow with this new design and it's also gonna feature the same 200 millimeter fans RGB fans at the front there's a pair of those you can also support two more at the top of the case 360 red support at the top or the front and while Coolermaster took a lot of heat pun intended when they initially launched the original H 500 P because that acrylic panel was increasing the the temperatures quite a bit they didn't stop there they actually made a couple of the revisions some nice revisions that were noted in several users reviews including mine when this case first came out for starters the top and front panels don't pop off super easily anymore because they've been reinforced the top panel actually has I believe it's a thumb screw a single thumb screw at the back that has to be undone before that can be removed and then there's another plastic there's an additional plastic latch on the front panel that keeps it from simply popping off with very little effort which I think are both huge improvements and I actually kind of gave it a tug on on either end and it is much more reinforced than it was additionally the power supply can now be mounted from the rear with a separate bracket with a couple thumb screws we've seen this in the past but you know the original H 100 P actually had to remove the power supply basement and there was actually cut a divided into pieces that had to be removed independently it took way too long and was way too complicated to install your power supply that's all been fixed so fantastic changes great listening to user feedback coolermaster and and also great on all the reviewers for pointing out flaws or certain shortcomings in order to really give some constructive criticism and overall make the better product in the end for the for the end user also we've got the same price this is gonna be the same cost same price upfront as the H 500 P the original version at 149 us so that's nice they didn't try to inflate the prices for a bunch of features that should have been there in the first place so that was good on them for that the H 500 M is the other case you guys might be interested in uses a very similar design language as the H 500 P but it's got two 200 millimeter addressable RGB fans at the front on top of all that Coolermaster has been working on their in-house software to fully integrate with philips hue and other third-party RGB devices that are supported the way this works is that those devices and any other RGB elements inside of your case can dynamically sync up with whatever colors are on your display so if you're you know desktop wallpaper is black in green or blue and green say something more colorful than the RGB the addressable RGB elements that are connected up will actually reflect that it's actually pretty cool the only downfall here is that when you connect third-party devices they might not be wired exactly the same and so there's not a hundred-percent color match all the time so that is something to be aware of I should also mention you get four tempered glass side panels top front left and right but the beauty here is that even though the front panel is already sort of half mesh and half tempered glass you can actually swap out that tempered glass piece with an included mesh panel so that you can get 100% nearly fully unimpeded air flow at the front which is which is just awesome 360 rad support once again at the top and the front just like the original H 500 P we also get front panel USB type-c one port there for USB 3.0 ports and your audio jacks now we do get a windowed power supply shroud that is illuminated of course you could disable that LED or just simply not plug it in but what do you guys think here coolermaster still filling with the idea of whether or not to put their logo or etch their logo into this plate or maybe have two swappable versions one that's completely plain I think that they should also include a plain steel piece that if you don't want any RGB or any window whatsoever you just want clean solid-steel power supply basement the whole length the whole way through I think that should be an option as well but guys leave your feedback in the comments below maybe somebody from Coolermaster will read it 199 us for this thing 200 bucks is that a fair price or not let me know what kind of pricing you would like to see for this case what you think it's worth in the comments below always curious to hear you guys's feedback on this sort of thing but that's gonna do it for now for the cooler master suite at CES 2018 guys toss me a like on the video if you enjoyed it and feel free to get subscribed to the channel
