HEXUS.net Read the full review"The Fractal Design Core 500 looks like a simple casebut it is more sophisticated and subtle than it firstappears.[...]Fractal Design has delivered a cheap andversatile Mini-ITX case."•

KitGuru Read the full review"At a price tag of around 60 US dollars, the chassis isreally affordable, but of great build quality. Theinterior—albeit very traditional for a chassis of thisshape—is functional. Considering you will always haveto make compromises when installing liquid coolinginto a case as this, Fractal Design's Core 500 managesto avoid all restrictive issues outside of its sheer sizewith the exception of the PSU's length. With the abilityto install six hard drive and an ODD while opting for apotent, large, and quiet air-cooling solution, the chassishas a lot to offer, coming in at aprice/performance/quality ratio that is better than withmost of the competition out there."•TechPowerUp.com Read the full review
