Thank you to Massdrop for sponsoring this video at CES 2018. Check out their Sennheiser
6XX Headphones in the link in the description down below.
We are here at Coolermaster checking out their H
500M, a no stops pulled case. And we start off with four
tempered glass panels. One just on the sides, you can
see all the beautiful internals of your case, one on the top and the front so you can
see the fans and one on the back so you can see your cable management. Now the tempered
glass panel on the front can slide out, I'm not going to do it right now
because prototype case and stuff, but it can slide out and you can put in a
mesh grille so if you're worried about the airflow it's fine, don't worry about it, it comes in the box, no big
deal. But it does also have mesh on each side and along the top so that these four big
fans can all breathe properly even if you do decide to leave that tempered glass in. And
right now at the show they're not filtered but they
will be filtered once you guys are able to get it into your hands, I have been told. For
front I/O it's kind of front-slash-top I/O. The power button is the Coolermaster logo but with
no text in it, nice and subtle, and it has an
illuminated ring around it. To the right of that you've got a hard drive activity LED.
To the left of that you have headphone and microphone
jacks, and then above you have tons of USB which is great to see. You have four
USB 3.0 type A ports and one USB type C
port which is awesome. I'm happy that cases are starting to have these on the front because you're starting to see more
C to C cables out there in the wild which is really cool. Moving on to the inside of the case the
main notable part that you're gonna see is the power supply shroud, it's been around for a
while now but this one does have a cutout. Again, been around for a
while now but this one is illuminated which is cool, and there's the subtle outside halo logo as
well. I kind of maybe suggested that they also include a blank in the case just like how
they had the mesh front, they would have some swappability for you
and we'll, uh, we'll see what happens there. Just in case you have a different brand of power supply or you
want to orientate it in a different way or something else. There's
also the ever-popular option to mount your graphics card vertically so if you don't have two cards like they have in this setup
which is beautiful by the way, but if you don't have two cards and you
want to have one and you want to display the really cool part of the card which you rarely actually get to see
which is at the side with the fans on it, you could mount it vertically. You might have
also noticed that the lighting in the room has changed quite a bit while i've been hosting
this video. That is in sync with what's on screen, it's called Screen
Follow, it has to do with their Master Plus lighting control.
Basically anything that can connect through Wi-Fi or the Internet in your house or a 4-Pin,
which like, fans in the case and whatnot can all sync together and follow
your screen or just be set to one color, whatever you kind of want to do. We even had something earlier
where they brought Paint up on the screen
and then just made the whole paint a different color and all the lights in the room would follow
that color, it was pretty cool. It's nice because with traditional setups they're all separate. The
nano leafs might be one one mode, your computer might be on another mode, other lighting in the room might be in another mode, it
gets kind of messy and you have all these different controllers and you need to sync everything up and, bleh. Not great. With
this setup it's all done through your computer, you can
nicely set it up on your desktop, it's all handled, it's all in one solution, better that way. And last but not least
let's jump behind the motherboard panel, we did already mention that there's tempered
glass back here but a good pair for tempered glass behind
a motherboard panel is good cable management because if you have messy cables back
there it's kind of a negative to have a tempered glass panel so they handle all of that for you, which is really cool.
They have big panels covering up all the messy cables so you don't have to worry about it, which is a huge benefit.
Also of huge benefit, thank you to Massdrop for bringing us to CES 2018
this year. Check out their HD 6XX headphones in the description down below. They're USD
$200 and they have the same sound signature of HD
650s which is cool. I have a pair at home. They're comfortable, they sound great, they're open just so you know.
That's an important thing for audiophiles out there, but yeah if you like them check them out the link below.
Other than that like the video if you liked it, dislike the video if you disliked it, stay subscribed for all of our CES
2018 content there's a ton of it, like over 40 videos coming eventually I've heard, so we'll see how
that goes, and I'll see you guys next time.
