Cooler Master Qube 500 Flatpack Macaron Edition ATX PC Case - Mint, Pink, Cream

I built my PC in this Cooler Master cube case and I’m really happy with it. The case feels strong and well made, and it looks clean and modern on my desk. It’s compact, but it doesn’t feel cramped inside. Building in it was easier than I expected. The layout makes sense, and there’s enough room for a good-sized GPU and cooler. Cable management was manageable, and everything fit without too much effort. Airflow has been good so far, and my temperatures stay stable even when gaming. I also like that it has dust filters that are easy to remove and clean. Overall, it’s a great option if you want a smaller PC case that still has enough space and good airflow. I’d definitely recommend it.

Positives: - Fun and easy assembly - Very well-priced - Flatpacked for sustainability - 3D printing friendly - cooler master and individuals have published lots of awesome models you can print to add to the case - Modularity - the parts can be arranged in a bewildering number of ways, i.e. the handle and feet can be placed on any side, and there is a test bench mode. I'd be surprised to find a use-case it cannot handle! - High compatibility - can fit ATX, micro-ATX, and mini ITX motherboards, ATX, SFX, and SFX-L PSUs. In terms of storage it can handle 4 3.5" drives (technically 6 because you can stack two on top of each other at the top and bottom of the case, I used 3D printed brackets). The drive connections to the case use rubber pads and screws that insert into them, so it's a really convenient way to easily attach and detach the drives. - Very small for its capabilities - Easily detachable dust filters for easy cleaning Negatives: - The filter on the bottom panel tends to come off a little too easily so when I work on the computer on my bed it often gets pushed off by the blankets. This is a very minor issue. - I would have liked if it came with a second metal mesh panel to use instead of the tempered glass, as my priority is better cooling and performance rather than aesthetics. - 3.5" hard drive placements could be improved. The 4th position is very sketchy, it is on the pivoting metal frame that rests against the glass panel. It does not make use of the same rubber pad attachment mechanism that the other drive mounts use, it just screws directly into the frame. Its position also makes the computer much uglier as a significant amount of the view is obstructed by the drive's underside, and cable management gets much harder as you need to route SATA data and SATA power cables all the way to it, away from the other drives. I think they should've included drive brackets so that the top and bottom drive mounts could be used by two drives each. Overall, this is a very very impressive case for its price and size, and I personally love the 3D printing aspect of it!

I am very pleased overall with this case, I love the modular construction, I was worried after reading one review that claimed it fell apart when he picked it up...that is utterly impossible, the thing is built out of 2.5mm solid steel & weighs a tonne! Maybe he was using 30kg's of lead as a heatsink? Absolutely no cooling issues for me, the mesh filters seem to be doing a fine job so far... The only reason i deducted 1 star is the left hand side panel must be slightly warped as the upper left corner keeps popping out of its push fit socket which is annoying. But i would recommend this case, it is well designed, looks great, is a good price & as I said, is built like a tank when complete, so yes, recommended :-)

If you are looking for a good value case this is it. It's a little challenging to build, but in no way difficult and if you've built a couple of pcs before then you will see the value in this build around design. PLUS POINTS: Great design. excellent build quality, easy to get open. Easy to add drives ram and cards etc. lots of space and great for cooling because five of the six sides provide air flow. Down side: Open sides mean next to no noise insulation so keep that in mind if your GPU and CPU fan are a bit shouty. It's a bit heavy but it's for a PC so it is not supposed to be mobile. The instructions are a little bit rubbish so have a look on you tube. and if i was being really fussy the on button is a not very positive for something that, otherwise has been so thoughtfully designed. I paid £60 for the white one. That is really good value and it was fun to build. Definitely worth considering

Great case but does affect thermals only get it if you know what youre doing with thermal optimisation in a pc other than that its fun love the modular diy. I'm using a full size psu but would recomend a smaller one as this case needs good directionlity and you idealy want the psu lower down from where cooler master say to let the cpu breath then have air flow from the bottom feeding the gpu. But the case looks great has good mounting options and good customability... is that a word? Idk is now. Just get it you'll be surprised how much less space it takes up if you have a full atx mobo.

Cannot believe such a small case fits a full sized ATX board. One thing I would point out that several reviews have said that the mesh inside has too much mesh and the holes are too small and this restricts air flow. The mesh in mine has deffinately been revised by Cooler Master, the holes are much bigger, and it's mainly holes with a little mesh and the air flow is great. I have a 9800xt card, and you could miles bigger, and I have aircooler mine, works fab, idle temps of 29C max temp 60C and thats using prime 95, which is never gonna happen under normal use. Building this was easy, the only real tricky bit was working out which way around to put the power supply, and i would recommend an SF power supply , however a corsair 1000w full atx did fit. I reverted to a 750 SF just because it was easy to manage the build and I thought it looked better for it.

Review: I recently built a system using the Qube 500 Flatpack (Black Edition), and it was an enjoyable experience overall. Here's my breakdown: Pros: Flatpack Design: This concept is brilliant. Assembly revolves around just 12 screws for the main panels, making it straightforward. With a bit of refinement, this design could set a new standard for budget-to-mid-range cases. Packaging Quality: Excellent, though it could benefit from clearer instructions, especially regarding the layer-by-layer assembly. Cable Management: Surprisingly spacious and well-thought-out behind the motherboard tray. There are plenty of tie-down points, even for non-modular PSU users. Construction Quality: Sturdy and premium-feeling, elevating the look of my older components. Screw Uniformity: Using a single screw type simplifies assembly. Kudos for this smart choice. Cons: Documentation: The instructions felt scattered and unpolished, making it harder for new builders. A clearer step-by-step or color-coded guide would significantly improve usability. Cooling: Only one fan is included. For a case at this price point, an additional fan would be expected. Radiator Bracket: The hinged bracket feels underutilized. Without a mesh side panel, it adds little value. Customization Options: No additional accessories or replacement panels were available at purchase. A modular case like this begs for a catalog of add-ons. Screws & Aesthetic Choices: Silver screws on a black case feel mismatched, detracting from the overall finish. Tips for Builders: PSU Positioning: If you're using a non-modular PSU, note that the case design provides ample clearance for long GPUs by routing cables cleverly. Cable Management: Plan and route cables early in the build process, especially around the motherboard. Cooling Adjustments: Consider adding extra fans. The case supports a variety of configurations, including a bottom-corner intake. Panel Prep: Fully route cables and connect motherboard components before locking in panels for easier assembly. Avoiding Snags: Pre-route the included fan’s cable to prevent interference with the rear panel. Suggestions to Cooler Master: Better Instructions: Collaborate with IKEA for clear, visual step-by-step guides. Even a simple layer diagram would elevate the experience. Include More Fans: A case of this caliber deserves better stock cooling, ideally two or three high-quality fans. Hexagon Patterns: Lean into your brand identity. Incorporate hexagon designs in ventilation, buttons, and cutouts for better airflow and aesthetics. Modular Accessories: Offer customizable panels, attachments, and replacement parts for a true modular experience. Radiator Bracket Redesign: Make side panels reversible or interchangeable. A mesh option would justify the radiator bracket’s inclusion. Premium Screws: Stick to uniform screws but offer black ones for black cases. Minor details matter. Side Panel Options: Replace the glass panel with mesh for improved cooling, especially for builds focused on airflow. Final Thoughts: The Qube 500 Flatpack is innovative and enjoyable to work with. Despite a few shortcomings, it’s a step in the right direction for modular PC cases. With some refinements in documentation, cooling, and customization options, it could be a game-changer. Rating: 8/10 – Great potential but room for improvement.

Excellent small form factor case. I run a Atx motherboard and full size Atx power supply and everything fitted perfectly. A great experience building the case which gave a different dimension to building a PC. Thermals are Excellent too. Fans on bottom for gpu and side mounted fans for cpu. I would highly recommend this case if you want a small footprint on your desk.

سبب شرائي له اللون الأسود والتصميم الجميل والعجيب من مميزاته تركيبه بأي طريقة تناسبك انا قمت بتريبه بشكل أفقي طبعا على هذي الطريقة لن أستطيع تركيب الباب لكن لا مشكلة من مميزاته القدرة على تبديل الأبواب الأصل الباب الزجاجي في الامام والمش في الخلف لكن في الوضع الافقي لن تستطيع تركيب الخلفي لذا اخترت المش قطع الجهاز i5 13600k تبريد هوائي والكرت 6800 الكيس السابق Lian li o11 mini air كانت حرارة المعالج 38 اغلب الوقت والكرت 27 الان ارتفعت الى 41 للمعالج و29 للكرت مع ان التهوية افضل من 6 جهات

C’est l’un des meilleurs boîtiers et sûrement pas le dernier de mon top 3 ❤️ Vous allez trouver ludique le montage. (Comptez 1 heure 15 en moyenne) Ceux qui recherchent de la sobriété esthétique vont être servis Le boîtier est d’aspect plutôt compact mais accorde un espace largement suffisant pour l’ensemble de vos composants. Tout est bien agencé et espacé, la circulation du flux d’air est très bonne. (Attention, une fois monté vous n’aurez pas accès à l’interrupteur de l’alimentation et celle ci est fixée à l‘avant du PC reliée par un câble avec une prise à l’arrière. Au montage pensez bien à laisser l’interrupteur sur ON.)

LAN-Party fähiges Gehäuse dank Griff. Durch die Modularität ist man flexibel und kann sich das System so zusammenbauen, wie es nötig ist. Einziges Manko: Die Standfüße werden unten ans Gehäuse geclippt, bei mir ist eine Haltenase leider abgebrochen. Trotzdem: Insgesamt bin ich super zufrieden.

Nice looking case but not worth the hassle building it from the scratch

Great Solid Case for a PC, I have my ATX Motherboard in there with a massive Air Cooler for 5800X3D and Big GPU (6800XT Red Devil). There is no issues for air flow (if you set it properly). Although the clearance for the panel is a little less, I had to struggle to insert them after fitting the motherboard. So better to install them to motherboard before fitting it to the case.
