The Cooler Master TD500 Mesh was shown at CES this year, but is just now getting to market. This case is intended to compete vs. the Phanteks P400A, Cooler Master H500 (blank), and Pure Base 500DX. Cooler Master is clearly taking inspiration from the Fractal Meshify C, but the question is whether it can improve upon Fractal's version of the 'intentionally dented' mesh front panel case aside from just taking design inspiration directly. This benchmark and review of the Cooler Master TD500 looks at thermal / temperature performance, noise performance, and build quality with a TD500 PC build.
