The CM Force 500 has lots of cooling potential. You can install up to 6 fans, of which 2x 120mm can be installed in the front. You can also install fans either of the left side of the case or on the right side of the case.

The CM Force 500 might not look that much, but it offers a lot of room for high end hardware. Even the lengthy Radeon HD7990 can fit inside this case with no problems at all. However the PSU is mounted on top of the case, just like in the old ATX cases. This might be advantageous for some, while others may prefer the PSU at the bottom of the case. It’s really a personal preference.

What’s more impressive is that the CM Force 500 can accommodate water cooling solution. It can support one 240mm and one 120mm radiator, or you can install 3x 120mm radiators.
