Product Description

The Master Box Q500L supports a standard ATX motherboard and PSU in a highly compact layout. With the same exterior dimensions as the Master Box Q300L, support for a standard ATX motherboard was made possible by maximizing the usage of internal space. Although the PSU is mounted by default at the top/front of the chassis, the mounting bracket allows for the repositioning of the PSU depending on preference and form factor. For instance, if a mini ITX or micro ATX motherboard is used instead of an ATX in the Master Box Q500L, the PSU can be mounted in the conventional position of the bottom, rear to allow for increased front panel ventilation and configuration options.

Stock config is warm inside, but easily fixed!
5 Stars
Stock config is warm inside, but easily fixed!
The case is very strong and well built. No sharp corners or edges anywhere and everything is very well laid out for such a tiny case. I went from a Rosewell Full Tower (nearly 36" x 36"x 10"), the biggest case I could find at the time, for a Threadripper build nearly 5 years ago. This Q500L case literally fits inside the old case.The only two real problems with this case the power supply (with a full ATX board) mounts in the upper front of case and blocks air flow to the CPU cooler. Only way to solve this would be an external power supply or a fan above the power supply. Also, the mesh holes for the case could have been bigger to allow more air flow, at least where you would mount fans.I installed a AMD 1950x Threadripper, ASROCK x399 full ATX MoBo inside the Q500L case, with a BeQuit Dark Rock Pro TR4 cooler, Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2 and Sapphire Rx 6700xt (dual fan) Video Card. Everything FITS!!! (accept the front cover does NOT fit with Dark Rock Pro TR4 cooler).I like to do radical case mods, so this one is a work in progress... JayzTwoCents style, cutting holes and and modding. So far, I've only done custom snake skin paint job.Front cover will be replaced with something meshed for improved air flow. I also have ordered some custom video card power supply cables, the current ones work but look like crap.This is a work in progress... It runs very well with one rear exhaust fan, one front intake fan, one exhaust fan under GPU (blowing down or out side cover) and one exhaust fan above cpu/power supply. Cutting out holes for all fans would also improve air flow.As I stated before, the biggest draw back of this build is the power supply blocking air flow. An cpu AIO could be a possibility, but I really wanted to go air.This would be a great case for small form factor build, something with an APU or someone like me that likes to MOD and do something different.

5.0 out of 5 stars A few quirks but what a great value!
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021
Style: ATX MBVerified Purchase
Update... I ordered a new one, and they changed how the power supply goes to a more conventional system now.

This is my first pair of PC builds since before several of you were born. The case is open yet compact. It's attractive too. I enjoy the simple utilitarian approach. The one quirk is having the power supply on the top front. This means they have a jumper power cable that runs to the rear so no I/O switch for the PS other than if you pull the cover and reach up to it. Cable management is pretty simple though and it leaves the rest of the case open. It does make the case a bit more top heavy than others, but it's shorter so that might not be a huge concern. This computer build is more utility/streaming and I'm glad I upgraded to a bigger case for my gaming unit I'm building. But I would certainly buy this one again for a basic non flashy build.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT CASE NO QUESTIONS ABOUT IT
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019
Style: ATX MBVerified Purchase
I ordered this case the day it got released, before seeing anyone review it, or without thinking twice and all I have to say is...

This case is fantastic. I decided to downsize from a Cooler Master Masterbox Pro 5 RGB (as seen in the pictures) and this case is perfect. My temperatures for my GPU (Vega 56) and my CPU (Ryzen 7 1700x OC'd @4.1ghz) are running cooler than ever. My GPU rarely gets about 55c, even during extended gaming sessions. In my old case, it would hit 80c all the time. My CPU runs a bit cooler now too, and my VRMs are nice and chilly barely reaching 60c. That's a far cry from the 95c temps on the VRMs I was getting in my old case. I have ZERO issues that others seem to complain about.

People are calling it the "masteroven". Not even close. What's so hard about adding fans?? The Deep Cool fans I have (3 120mm RGB and 2- 140mm RGB) allow it to run very cool. Air flow is not an issue at all. I have the very bottom 2 fans and the bottom front on pull with the fan on the 120mm rad and the 2- 140mm fans on top exhausting, taking advantage of the nature of heat rising and also getting excellent airflow through my blower style GPU and also across the VRMs of the motherboard. The PSUs fan exhausts up as well, following the path of the airflow.

Building inside this thing was a dream, having built 8 PCs in the past year and a half, I have to say its one of my favorite cases to build in. Plenty of room to fit full size components, and plenty of room on the back of the motherboard tray for cable management with plenty of hold-down points for zip-tying.
It looks awesome and exceeded my expectations. My next step is definitely a custom loop water cooling setup for both the GPU and CPU. I'll update this review when that happens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great compact budget case, but unfortunately poor airflow
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2021
Style: ATX MBVerified Purchase
This PC case is exactly what I was looking for. At this price point, it's the most compact tower that can accommodate an ATX mobo. It's sturdy, semi-modular, lightweight, and the patterned dust filters look great. There's plenty of room for cable management and I've had no issues fitting everything inside.

The case can be inverted if you pop out the feet from the bottom, which is one of the best things about it. You won't have to worry about missing out on the view panel if your PC needs to sit on the left side of your desk. I don't know if there's a better budget-friendly option with this functionality.

The downside of this case is that it has the nickname "MasterOven" for a reason. The holes along the chassis are too small and spaced out to allow for optimal airflow. I've had a significant increase in temps and the case is warm to touch when my PC's under stress. If you have the right tools, you can cut out holes for your fans, but the design could've been better in the first place.

The front panel is a little flimsy when plugging in a USB cable and it also would've been nice to have the option of glass. My acrylic panel arrived with micro-scratches and I still need to buff them out.

The last two bits mentioned aren't deal-breakers, and if it weren't for the airflow problems I'd give this case 5 stars. I'd recommend getting it if you need something compact and can make the modifications for better airflow.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2022

I got this case to replace a massive full tower case because I wanted to reduce the footprint where I keep it under my desk. This case is 1/2 the height and 20 pounds less than what I had (empty). It will fit a full size ATX MB. The power supply mounting is a little tricky, because the entire unit is fully enclosed inside the case (including the PS power switch). This comes with an extension plug to reach the plug from the inside of the case (now mounted in front) to reach into the back of the case for the external power cord. The only issue with this is the switch for the Power Supply is now inaccessible, whereas if I want to completely shut off power, I have to unplug it. CD ROMS are a thing of the past and there is no mounting options in the front of the case (doesn't bother me because I don't think I used a CD in over 3 years). There is 4 mounting pads for SSD, or 3 mounting pads for mechanical hard drives. Otherwise, the side panel is clear plastic but still looks good and is lighter than glass. The USB's and power button are on the side of the case, so if you have a desk with an PC enclosure, this could be a problem. The sound is average as I can still hear the fans when this is turned on, but it is quieter than my other case that had an overkill of 6 fans. Overall, I don't hate this case, but it fills my needs.

The sound is average as I can still hear the fans when this is turned on, but it is quieter than my other case that had an overkill of 6 fans. Overall, I don't hate this case, but it fills my needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente si sabes lo que quieres!
Reviewed in Mexico on December 2, 2020
Style: ATX MBVerified Purchase
Es un muy buen producto si sabes tus necesidades específicas y lo aprovechas... o puede ser pésimo si esperas algo que no ofrece.
En cuanto a materiales calidad precio, me parece muy bueno por 1400 pesos mexicanos.
Esta dirigido a quien quiere un gabinete de espacio reducido, con estética minimalista y elegante. Este gabinete se puede permitir un espacio reducido gracias a que está perforado por todos lados y se puede hacer un buen flujo de aire, sin embargo, se tiene que planear muy bien el acomodo de los accesorios.
La gestión de cables me agrado mucho ya que tiene buen espacio en la parte posterior de la tarjeta madre y además ahí mismo van los discos duros.
No lo recomiendo si no te gusta que luzca amontonado con tarjetas Full atx.
Fuera de eso, a mi me encantó y me resultó muy funcional.

Actualizando esta reseña, decidí cambiar el gabinete por uno mas grande por el flujo de aire y por cualquier modificación y mantenimiento, se hace muy complicado tener un espacio reducido. Además, pese a que sigo pensando que es un muy buen producto y estéticamente bonito, no lo recomendaría para un ensamble de gama alta.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well thought through design, good quality, looks way better in person, super easy to work with

First pc build. Despite unconventional psu placement, was still a super easy build. Fit full atx board and still had room for 6 120mm case fans as well (including the pre-installed exhaust). The case is quite wide as well for easy cable management and the hard drive mounts are easily accessible as well. The quality of this case is very good, and the design is well thought through, especially at this price range. If you're not sure whether to buy this case, I can assure you won't be disappointed. It also looks a lot better in person. It's a lot darker and the soft gray geometric lines compliment it well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caja elegante, buena ventilación y compacta.

Muy contento con la compra ya que tiene una apariencia mas elegante y minimalista.
El vendedor aun siendo externo a amazon fue super rápido, aunque el producto me llego 3 días mas tardes de lo esperado por fallo logístico del repartido ( el producto llego en el tiempo estimado que marco el vendedor, el no tuvo la culpa).

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY COMPACT!!!
Reviewed in Australia on August 11, 2021

Very very very compact. The PSU links to an internal cord that ports it out near the IO's
which allows for a unique use of all the space. I fit a Gigabyte GA-H97-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1150 motherboard
in with chunky Cooler Master heatsink & fan comfortably. Good quality as always from Cooler Master..
Excellent space & cost efficient case option for building a simple gaming or blender rig.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buena relacion Precio-beneficio. Minimalista, pero trabajoso para ensamblar

La GTX 1070 que en promedio me daba ya mas de 50 C con este Gabo sin problemas esta idle en 38C.
es perfecto para meter desde una ATX a una Micro ATX. eso si, debes de batallar mucho viendo donde pondras la PSU o fuente de poder, aparte de que el cable que se conecta a esta y a la salida del gabinete es bastante cortito y hay algunos puntos donde no la podras colocar. pero en si, puedes darle la orientacion que quieras al equipo. bastante bueno la verdad y con excelente espacio para la GPU. eso si, si quieres meterle varios HDD solo tiene lugar para 2. para SSD y HDD de 2.5" tiene 3 ranuras. asi que ten en cuenta eso por si eres creador de contenidos y pensabas tener varios discos internos. le cabe un enfriador Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo sin problemas por si te preocupaba el espacio para el enfriador. tambien hay espacio para IO.
