Cooler Master ELITE 500
The Cooler Master ELITE 500 computer case is the foundation for building an office workstation or a gaming rig in a Midi Tower format. Its black steel construction with an opaque side panel offers a subtle appearance without any lighting effects, while also damping the noise of internal components. The internal layout accommodates ATX, mATX (Micro ATX), and mITX (Mini ITX) motherboards, providing space for high-performance graphics cards and large CPU coolers. It emphasises optimised airflow and includes dust filters at the bottom. The power supply's position at the bottom does not interfere with air circulation in the main chamber.

Robust construction and compatibility
The chassis uses a solid steel construction, which ensures the stability and long life of the entire build. The opaque steel side panel contributes to better noise damping and maintains a clean, discreet exterior. It is equipped with dust filters on the underside, which help to keep the interior clean. The internal layout supports ATX, mATX, and mITX format motherboards.
Cooling and airflow
The cooling system offers versatile customisation options depending on the build's performance. The front of the case can hold up to three fans or a liquid cooling radiator, while the rear position is fitted with one fan for efficient heat dissipation. The perforated top panel enables the installation of two more fans or a radiator, which helps to maintain stable temperatures even under heavy load.
Hardware space and connectivity
The interior easily accommodates long graphics cards and large CPU coolers. The storage system offers two combo slots and three separate positions for SSDs, which enables you to create extensive data storage. The ATX-format power supply is located in the bottom tunnel, and the front control panel provides USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports along with a combo audio jack.
