I got the 500R! Really nice case, compared to my Antec 300. 1 little thing I do not like is that the hard drive cage leaves big scratches when I removed it on the other cage. I can live with those but it´s not really nice.

Never understood the design choices the manufacturers make when adding these windows.

The window should be scaled to be 20/25% smaller than the largest supported form factor -and centered over the motherboard.
And if it is supposed to be a window, don't negate it by adding the fan mounts...one or the other, but not both in the same area.

The fan mounts appear (assuming that photo to be accurate) to have been shifted about an inch to the center as well as almost an inch higher, so that depending on your equipment, any side-mounted fans will interfere with either your HS/F and/or GPU PCI-E power cables.

Pass.

Will the side panels on a 500r fit a 300r? I know that the 400r/500r sides are interchangeable and it would be nice to have a bulge on the back side for cable management. smile.gif

I'm going to say no. The side panel for the 400R/500R is wider than the one for the 300R.

Anyone that has used an A/C filter in the front of the 500R.....Did you leave the mesh filter in there also or just remove that and use the A/C filter pad?

Ok, I might remove the mesh then. No sense in blocking more airflow I guess. I was going to use the modright filters, but instead used my funds for the DEMCiflex magnetic filter for the side panel. The Duck A/C filter pad I got was only 96 cents at my Walmart anyways instead of $5+ I have found on most sites that don't usually have free shipping.

EDIT: Well I got all my fans and my Recon fan controller installed. Thought I would just add some pics to this post instead of double posting.
