As we have come to experience with previous Corsair cases, the 500R is presented in an eco-friendly box. The front of the packaging features a depiction of the case and a listing of the features whilst the sides have more in-depth technical specifications and the back has various diagrams of the case, identifying key areas.

Inside the box the 500R is covered in a clear plastic sheet and held in place via two polystyrene pillars.



Opening the packaging up and removing the 500R we get our first glimpse. First impressions are always important and the 500R doesn’t fall short here. Combining black and white, Corsair has formed an extremely attractive looking chassis. Running down the middle of the case is a black accent whilst the side panels have been coated white - the best of both worlds.

The predominant side panel features a large mesh cut-out with a 200mm LED fan attached on the inside. Both side panels are convex to support greater space and more room for cable management.





Over the page we will take a closer look at the exterior of 500R.
