Corsair Carbide Series 500R Mid-Tower Gaming Case ATX 4X5.25 6X3.5INT USB 1394 No PS White
Cons:- lights might be a bit bright on the fans if it's in your field of vision in a dark room. Fortunately you can turn them off if it's a problem. I personally like them on.

Pros:-great cooling - cool lights (with switch)- Lots of space for larger cards like my 770 gTX (wasn't cramped at all). - Good front access. - Nice finish. -case fans are quiet
Comment:

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Mid-Tower Gaming Case ATX 4X5.25 6X3.5INT USB 1394 No PS White
Cons:not a lot of Water cooling option

Pros:Lot of space, fan mounts and good looking
Comment:
Really good case, looks clean and well built. A lot of space for cable management. You can install a 2x120mm rad on top hidden(really nice). The included fans do a good job of cooling the case for simple to medium rigs it get a little complicated when if you put 3 graphic cards in. The ability to turn-off the white leds is useful.

Cons:Everything else.

Pros:200mm fan, front USB 3.0 ports, nice paint job.
Comment:
My biggest complaint are the HDD cages. So flimsy. Runs cool and not very loud, though I wouldn't place it into a "Silent Cases" category. Wouldn't buy again though.

Cons:-Confusion with Motherboard standoffs-The worst case manual I have ever seen

Pros:-Sexy-Good Airflow-Great Features
Comment:
This is one great case, and I like it a lot. However, there was no explanation on how to go about with the standoffs on the top of the case, and a really bad case manual. Overall, I am very pleased.

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Mid-Tower Gaming Case ATX 4X5.25 6X3.5INT USB 1394 No PS White
Cons:Included fans don't move much air and are fairly noisyIncluded dust filters are poorNo dust filter at all for the huge side panel meshFan controller uses a proprietary connection rather than normal 3-pin, so it won't work with aftermarket fans

Pros:Very attractive designExcellent quality powder-coating which matches the white plastic very wellLots of room for a midtowerComes with 4 fansTool-less HDD and optical baysCorsair build qualityLots of room for cables behind the Motherboard trayUSB 3.0 ports on the front I/O
Comment:
While the case looks amazing and has tons of room, I'm fairly dissatisfied with the dust filtering, the included fans, and the proprietary fan controller. Including a fan controller which isn't compatible with aftermarket fans seems (to me) to be a stunningly stupid move - especially when you consider that the included fans aren't very good. So for those of us concerned with case airflow, there are two options. Either replace the fans with better ones and do without a controller, or buy an aftermarket controller. Either way, you end up with a few useless buttons on your front I/O, and a "feature" that you paid for is going to waste. Lame.Likewise, the lack of a dust filter for the massive side panel mesh section (which is set up as an intake using the included 200mm fan) really subtracts from the value of the case. Without a filter, the side-panel fan is essentially a vacuum cleaner, so anyone who is concerned about dust would need to buy an aftermarket filter (or use something home-made). Since the mesh panel is so massive, the options are fairly limited. A custom filter from DemciFlex is pretty much your only retail option. Again, lame.In my opinion, Corsair would have been better served to leave out the fan controller entirely and include some voltage step-down adapters for the fans. The money saved could then have been used for some higher quality dust filtering for the side and front panels.Conclusion:A good case that could have been amazing with a little more attention to detail. I got it on sale for $99 with free shipping, but the ~$30-35 saved will have to pay for an aftemarket custom dust filter for that gaping side panel.

Cons:Side panel doesn't have a dust filterDoesn't spit out hundred dollar bills?

Pros:Looks GreatQuiet or cools great depending on how you set the fan controllerfan controllerCan turn the fan lights on and offLots of space for cable managementAlmost everything is tool-less :)Completely black interior
Comment:
I used to think cases didn't matter, just something to bolt your parts into, but the difference in quality between case like this one and cheaper one like the rosewill challenger is astounding. Everything in this case has been well thought out, nothing has been just thrown together. Being able to turn the fan led's off is great for when you want to leave it running in the background. Overall this is a great case and I can't recommend it enough.

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Mid-Tower Gaming Case ATX 4X5.25 6X3.5INT USB 1394 No PS White
Cons:-the power and HDD activity LED are way too bright at night, and the 'led off' button on the case does not control these. you have to disconnect the connector on the mobo to turn them off.-firewire connector is pointless

Pros:-looks very nice with the white/black. powdercoat is good quality-lots of space for an average install, any size video card will fit easily-tool-less DVD drive and 3.5" HDD install. need screws for SSDs though-lots of additonal fan options if you need them-ability to turn off fan LEDs-fan controller built in-usb3.0 front panel header
Comment:
very good looking case. usb 3.0 front panel. good cable management. lightweight. plenty of space inside. tool-less for dvd/hdd installs. not a fan of the ultra bright LED lights, specially for the power/hdd activity lights.

Cons:A bit too plastic-y. Hard drive bays are very flimsy. No 3.5" bay for memcard reader etc. Mobo came with USB3.0 bay and I have no place to put it :(

Pros:Big and roomy. USB 3.0, Lots of options for cooling, good cable management.
Comment:
Great case. Looks very nice, easy to work on/in. Cable management is good. Very flexible on cooling, with options to upgrade to water cooling.The hard drive trays are VERY flimsy, and there is no 3.5" external bay to put memory card readers, or in my case, extra USB 3.0 Headers.

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Mid-Tower Gaming Case ATX 4X5.25 6X3.5INT USB 1394 No PS White
Cons:The white finish is cheap quality, a bit expensive, the reset button never worked, the fan look cheap, not the best air flow.Not enough room for custom water cooling radiator.

Pros:Look very good, very silent, great cable management, perfect for corsair h100 radiator, great looking led on fan.
Comment:
Good case but it is too expensive for the quality. It has good air flow but not enough i had a haf 922 wich was way better in term of airflow. The front usb 3.0 panel is cool. I would buy something else if i had to buy another case.

Solid build. Looks great and it was easy to work with. Has a lot of room for cable management since the side case has a outward bump to give room. Fan controller apparently only works with the fans that come with the case. Bought this for $89.99 with $10 gift card bonus. Great deal
