According to our computer case expert
The Cooler Master MasterBox MasterCase H500P Mesh (ARGB Edition) is a midi tower computer case for gamers and system builders. The 3 included fans provide air circulation and cool your components. And thanks to the panel door this case has, you can easily access the components as well. On top of that, you can hide your cables neatly thanks to the cable management. Because the case has RGB lighting that you connect to your components, you're able to create a colorful setup. You can adjust the lighting separately per zone. This steel tower can take a beating, which means it offers better protection for your hardware. The tower has room for a 3.5-inch HDD (2x), 2.5-inch SSD/HDD (6x), expansion slots (7x), a video card with a length up to 41cm, fan slots (7x), headphones jack, and a microphone connector.

It is a very nice case for your PC and also very spacious, which makes it very easy to build into the case. Although it can of course also leave some empty space, which can of course be used to let your creativity go completely.
Includes 3 fans, 2 of which are ARGB (and an internal controller). The reset button can be connected to this controller to switch through the different modes. However, it is also possible to connect another button to this by means of, for example, a dupont connector and to make it accessible through the back of the case. Of course none of this is necessary if your motherboard has an ARGB header.
Cable management is of course also an important part of a case with a tempered glass side panel. There are 3 good rubber bushings for this. There are also a few smaller feed-throughs that do not seem to be intended for this purpose, but they are fine to use, for example, to feed front io cables through the power supply shroud.
Minor drawbacks are, for example, the lack of a PCiE riser card which is necessary to connect your graphics card vertically (is not ideal for its temperature in most cases, but that is a decision that everyone will have to make for themselves). With the beautiful tempered glass side panel, I also had the hope that the panel at the top would also be made of tempered glass, but this was not the case. However, this is especially noticeable when you are working with the housing than when you look at it.
The glass side panel also has a very easy way to open it using any flat object such as a coin, screwdriver or possibly even scissors or the like. There is also a closed side panel on the other side, so that any poorly managed cables do not stand out and there is space here to place a fan hub, for example.
The space that is left next to the motherboard can of course also be used for decoration, as well as for a water reservoir if you want to install a water cooling loop yourself. I think this case would lend itself well to that as it would also have more than enough space to place one or more radiators. I haven't cooled my PC with water, but I certainly see possibilities for it.

Great PC housing, wiring nicely behind second bulkhead, 3 large fans with lighting, stable condition, glass side cover can be opened in one movement, highly recommended!
