        Top value for money

        A very compact case that accepts the ATX CM without being cramped is great, plus it's good quality and everything is easy to install and connect. If you're looking for a good box that's not too expensive, this is the one for you. The only drawback is that the power supply is installed behind the front panel and the switch is not accessible.

        Very nice case

        I really like this box, which has several qualities. Easy to assemble, especially if you're a fan of cable management! The only fault I can find with it is that the airflow is quickly limited due to the rather original position of the power supply! Before ordering, make sure everything will fit!

        2 annoying points

        I ordered this box mainly for its unusual look (square format) and the elegance of its design.
        Unfortunately, the photo is actually flattering: it's not a rigid front panel with a printed/engraved pattern, but some kind of soft plastic grid with a magnet. So in terms of ventilation, it's better (the plastic has micro-holes), but in terms of looks... The same goes for the finish.
        On the other hand, it's worth noting that the back of the tower doesn't reveal access to the rear of the power supply: it's impossible to cut the power supply using the switch... not essential (a cable in the case does the job), but surprising.

        All in all, it's a box that does the job, with an 'average' finish, but if I'd known I'd have spent a few euros more for something more elegant.

        very pretty and naturally ventilated

        very pretty for not expensive just place limit when you install a graphics card like my rx 6600 you think it does not pass but if the millimeter very pretty with plexi on the side

        Quick delivery

        Satisfied with the box.
        Good value for money.
        Nice design.
        Curious about the power supply unit, which is inside and connected by a cable.

        Perfect, compact case!

        Superb case!
        I put a 240mm watercolling at the top, the ATX power supply in the middle of the front panel and the atx motherboard just a hair's breadth away but everything fits and that's what we want from this case! Very nice silencer (I'd planned on 2 extra fans but there wasn't room for them, did I miscalculate?) 1 rear fan supplied and good anti-dust filters. It remains to be seen in the long term but I'm won over!

        Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L

        This box was bought to give an old configuration a facelift, and everything is perfect.
        It's a little bulky, management cable needed!
        Quick delivery and great parcel, thanks LDLC.

        Poor quality

        This case is rather pretty and well ventilated, but that's the only good thing about it.
        The finish is poor, the buttons are of mediocre quality, and the USB port panel sinks when you try to insert a cable or a USB key, which doesn't bode well for the future.
        The glass is made of crude plastic and scratches far too easily.
        The case is soft and deforms when moved, causing my computer to reboot.
        The motherboard connectors don't line up with the rear window, but that's probably due to poor assembly by ldlc.
        In short, it's not expensive, but now we know why...

        Good casing

        Good casing!
        Lightweight and efficient. Very practical. Very airy.
        More than enough space for my configuration. I managed to fit a 240 watercooling system on top. Exactly to the millimetre.
        A little disappointed with the quality of the Plexiglas, which scratches easily.

        beautiful and functional but small

        The case is beautiful and does its job very well, however I only give it 4 stars because it is really small and despite the fact that all the components fit inside and that an ATX motherboard also fits, the narrowness of the case makes mounting complicated and makes the inside of the case quite hot, The case is very narrow, so you need to look at getting a watercooler (a 240mm one will fit even if it's not easy to mount) so as not to generate too much heat in the case, and also think about getting a graphics card with 2 or 3 fans to guarantee a little optimized cooling. I'm not sure if it's a good case or not, but it's a good case with a nice design that does the job perfectly.

        I recommend

        Nice little camera. I like the magnetic filters on the front and top of the case. The visual aspect is nice, and it takes up very little space (which is what I was looking for).I managed to fit all my stuff in it (including a big Noctua NH-U12S), which used to be in a big tower.Be careful though, you can only install 2.5/3.5" drives (at the back of the case). There are openings in the right places for the power cables (e.g. for the CPU power supply). Obviously you have to think about the order in which to install your equipment, otherwise you won't have access to certain screws. In my opinion this is not a problem, it's what allows the case to be so small.note that the power supply is installed vertically against the front of the case. The on/off button of your power supply is therefore no longer accessible.

        Good but

        It's not bad, but when I received it, a slot for the SSDs was badly threaded, so I couldn't use it.

        Very good

        I've been eyeing this case for a year now, ordered and received it, I have no regrets about this purchase.
        The only drawback of this case is the power supply which is fixed on the front, but don't worry, an extension cable is provided. I am very happy with the product.

        Good but too expensive

        Used to recycle my old ATX motherboard, I needed a compact case. Compact cases capable of housing an ATX card are ultra rare, this one does the job well, quite nice and well designed. It can accommodate big cooling (my old noctua top flow with a 150mm fan). On the negative side, the metal sheets are really thin and at the current price of 67€ it's not that good value for money when it was 50€ not so long ago.

        Super Case

        I'm very happy with the box, quite compact, room for the 1080 and the noctua, in short, top notch, thanks ldlc!

        Nikel

        + It's a good product in its compact category...
        + Note that it is reversible very easily (even if it is not indicated), I thought I would have to disassemble it for that, well no, nikel!
        + Internal power cable.
        To improve :
        - the placement of the power supply is limited to the front of the case and no option for an SFX, which is a shame for this category of product.
        - Usb + power interface, fragile, no usb type-C.

        Perfect

        Great looking, plenty of room to fit everything, light and not bulky, just the fan needs changing which is a bit noisy

        a rather long wait because of the corona

        a good product a reliable supplier
        a good service
        one regret is that the tower does not have a slot for the dvd player
        nothing more to say

        Perfect for my use

        Aesthetic and compact case for a very affordable price. Everything is modular and of good quality and fits almost any configuration. Use for gaming and programming. Good air circulation and quiet (knowing that I only use the basic fan). I'm very happy with this product, it's just that it's not very precise, it's useless, and there's no information about the diameter of the tools to use. I'm very happy with it and would recommend it.

        nothing to say...except

        nice case, but I think you need at least another fan when you buy it to complete it

        Great for low budget and visibility fans!

        Beware of the big GPU with 3 fans, it will certainly not pass if you have the power supply towards the bah like me!
        For the water cooling it's fine, even 120 at the back and 240 at the top or in front if you move the allim...
        It's a good idea to have a low budget PC!

        Surprising!!!

        A real concentrate of know-how. The first time you see it, you think "my God, will everything fit inside? But once the assembly is done, the feeling of satisfaction is immense, especially when you succeeded in placing your big push-pull watercooling kit + your 27cm graphic card. Especially since it is so customizable that even in terms of ventilation and cable management, you can manage to make something clean and airy enough. With this case the space saving and the feeling of satisfaction after assembly is just unique!

        Simply perfect.

        I was a bit sceptical about the practicality of installing the components, but I'm more than happy with the case!
        A very good value for money, I highly recommend!
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.

        Nice look and space saving!

        Very small but everything fits! I put in my ATX motherboard, my Be Quiet Straight power ATX, my Pure rock Be Quiet fan and my MSI GTX 1660 armor, all without any problem and everything looks fresh. I had a silent base 600 case, so it's a real space saver under the desk. I've been using it for a while now and it's a real space saver under the desk. Can be placed vertically or horizontally. Very nice to modulate so that it adapts to your needs. A really perfect cable management. A faultless product for me.

        great box

        the case is super small but there is plenty of room for its configuration
        even though I received a damaged filter
        I recommend this product for a small configuration that doesn't take up much space
