The Sileo 500 case is an exciting example of an inexpensive case that distinguishes itself from other cases in a few ways. First is the silent operation. Everything from the padded insulation on the sides, top, and bottom of the case is designed for qu...
Cooler Master Sileo 500 is a mid-tower case targeted to the user that wants a nice and affordable case. Here is a summary of what we thought about it:Strong PointsAnti-static foams for reducing noise installed on all panels.Screwless mechanisms for all...
As it turns out, the Sileo is pretty darn quiet for several reasons. For starters, the fans included with the system are about as quiet as youll find included with any case. Newbies just getting into the silencing game wont notice them, and hardcore...

Taking price out of the equation we find that Cooler Master has a very solid and feature rich product in the Sileo 500. The sound dampening mats on four sides coupled with rubber contact points for HDD rails and the power supply show that Cooler Mast...
When we sum up our impressions and experience with Cooler Master Sileo 500 we can only conclude that it offers so much for a price tag around 75€. This chassis is, above all, very quiet even if you have noisy CPU or graphics card fan (cooler). This c...

Not supercool (but I wouldnt worry about it), No cable management
So, wait, is this case a black hole for noise? Nope. Sorry to say, but a little foam isnt going to hold back the jackhammer sounds of components poorly selected. It will take the edge off the minimal sounds of well-selected hardware, though. This case...
With the motherboard and all the components install in the CoolerMaster Sileo 500 case you can see that there is still a large area in which to work with. Our motherboard is an ESC 570-Split A with Intel 6750 processor. The fan we have mounted on...
Almost dead silent, thanks to copious amounts of acoustic foam, Classy, elegant design with toolless installation, Roomy interior
No removable motherboard tray
In working with the Cooler Master Sileo 500, I was utterly blown away by how well the sound dampening material works. Being the defining feature of this case, I can attest to the fact that the sound dampening material really sets this case apart from o...
So what did I think? I thought this case was great. For the low price this case is a great buy, if used right. Currently I have two PCs, one that I use for my benchmarks, and one that I use as a media center. There is no doubt in my mind that gamers mi...
