I watched another review of the case yesterday and they pointed out the various options for building it upside down or on it's side or whatever, that they found in the manual. There's sort of a gif of that on your website but I don't know if any adults have looked at it, it's not a good advert for that feature. You just see a looping gif that goes by too quickly to understand what the options are. It'd be easier to recommend the case to people, if you could show them an actual link to the pictures of layouts - preferably with a motherboard etc in it so people can see what that looks like.

Looks like a great case, currently at the top of my list for future builds. I really hope modular, flatpack cases become normalised. It'd be great to see things like being able to extend the case in future e.g. make it taller, wider/dual compartment etc. Having handles for either end seems great to me because at my age and fitness, moving a relatively heavy case can be a real problem and it's mostly a lack of grip.

I love the pegboard style of the panels as well, especially if it's compatible with off the shelf stuff from existing pegboard brands (including the dreaded Ikea). I'm not sure if there's any sort of common hole size? That would be super helpful to know though because I can't imagine you'll be making Coolermaster stationery pots or what have you. :D

missing one screw on the front panel that goes into the MB mount on the top side.

I've always wanted to mount a radiator next to a tempered glass panel with zero airflow

It'd be really cool if we could buy individual panels instead of having to buy the whole case just to get the mint panels. I want to do the black case with the mint panels

My QUBE 500 arrived. Today I will transfer my build from my old HAF XB to this wonderful case. The only problem I will need to solve is where my water cooling tubes will exit since I use a huge 1080mm external radiator. I might run them through PCIE slots, or slightly enlarge a couple side panel holes.

Sin el panel de vidrio templado sería perfecto!!! Ojalá tuviera la opción de sustituirlo por un panel perforado igual al de la parte trasera. Es un lindo gabinete y más por qué tienes la experiencia literal de armarlo. Una opción sin vidrio templado por favor!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[RexTorres]

I am in love with this case (eve though I don't own a desktop 😅)!

[EliseoBLK]

hey guys, is possible to not install the radiator bracket? my rig is aircooled

[rusiyanp]

Is it possible to install the motherboard upside down? Is it possible to install the top and bottom of the case upside down?

[psoasx_]

is there a way to get a 2nd steel panel? i am planning a very simple build and don't want a TG panel. thanks if you've got an answer. cooler master is hard to contact. cheers.

[LosLos-Ricky]

Is it safe to use a 1200w psu with that psu extend cable？

[ian-ivey]

These are the most obvious installation locations. I came here looking for help with some of the other options such as bottom mounting the PSU and vertical mounting the GPU. I have a large PSU and a 3-fan GPU and am struggling to figure out a configuration that will allow everything to fit. I'm on the verge of returning it: even though I suspect there's a configuration that would work, it's not clear how to get there.

A video that walks through many options using larger or more challenging components would be extremely helpful.

[hariantosuhendro]

when plug-in all cable to motherboard ?

[ronalcasid]

Hey Cooler Master! Did you consider offering colored air filters?

[martydanny]

Hi, just wondering when case lays at the right side (glass panel up) then is it possible to attach additional panel to the bottom side? To have up, front and bottom sides with panels?

[ewic]

You should have included another steel side panel for those who want maximum airflow. Can't put the TG side panel on the back because you would see all the cables when you opt to put side radiators or fans.

[AndersHass]

I do wonder how you can fit four 3.5 inch drives.
It would be nice if the manual was available as a PDF if that various configuration such as those 4 drives.

[LordPishPosh]

just no way to buy this in South Africa... 14 distributors have no ETA and 8 online retail shops also not.

[Артем]

who was that genious who proposed to put radiator so close to glass side panel with 0 airflow ? So experianced brand and so stupid things...
