Would you buy this rare case for €110

Ive the chance to buy this case (coolermaster 500) for €110 brand new, they arent sold any more and i always really liked it (retailed at £140 when it came out)

Also i like small cases, the only thing is that the psu sits vertically in the case directly over the hsf and overall the cooling is crap.

That said would u buy it (takes atx mobos btw)

Its the case on the left in the piccy

yeah its nice, i guess. for €110 i'd like to have a window in it, but that's just me.

is the PSU decent power?

if the cooling is crap its just gonna be a pain regardless of its 'uniqueness'.

I have to say i don't like it. But then these things are personal opinion. Question is, do you want to spend €110 on it? Sounds like you do.

its a coolermaster lads, they dont come with psus!!

Rare stuff are for shelves, not motherboards..

i've dealt with a case with a vertical psu, will never touch one again, the psu sits directly over the heatsink and fan! leaving about a mm for airflow, the processor heated up to 65degrees and rising in the bios!, then i turned it off :P . If the heatsink was any bigger it wouldn't have being possable to fit it in. You'd nearly need water cooling for the case. But saying that why would they design a case that fits atx mobos unless it somehow worked fine. Nice case all the same.

Goto xcase.co.uk great case good prices i got mine there!!

If i was gonna get that case, i'd have to spend about 300 euro into light, window and fan modding on its own.
But ur about to do a real good custom mod its a great case.

Did you mod that, or is it stock, its good, but not my style.

Dont Cyrus, but if it makes you happy to have it then....

They are probably not being sold anymore for a reason and it looks plain enough but its probably a great case to work with. Ya could get better for your money i think
