Verdict
Cooler Master HAF 500
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A strong airflow mid-tower for people who like the HAF 700's looks but not its size.
Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB
8 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the best mid-towers for 420mm radiator support and flagship-length GPUs without stepping up to a full-tower case.
