Cobalt - Watercooled Ryzen Gaming PC in a CoolerMaster H500P
809We've been eyeing this chassis up since it was spotted at Computex and the new range of CoolerMaster cases are looking really sleek. A gap appeared in our schedule so we decided to take one for a spin.
The vertical mounted GPU and the 200mm fans are the obvious highlight of this chassis and overall it's a fairly nice case, despite the foibles with the top and front panels being so loose you can literally remove them with one finger. Your Gaming PC isn't the sort of thing you'll be moving around on a daily basis so once it's stationary on your desk it's a minor inconvenience.
On a side note, it's a shame you need to purchase a riser cable separately, considering the price of the case we feel this is something CoolerMaster should be including as standard, along with a bracket to prevent GPU droop. In this instance we had a riser lying around from an old Phanteks build.
