Key specifications at a glance

Panoramic 270° tempered glass showcase

The CX500m ARGB features seamless steel and tempered glass panels on the left and front, offering an unobstructed 270° view of your components. This design transforms your build into a centrepiece, ideal for showcasing RGB lighting and premium hardware without visual interruptions.

Vertical cooling with massive air intake

Engineered for efficient heat dissipation, the case uses bottom-up vertical airflow through mesh panels on the lower front, left, and right sides. This layout accelerates cool air intake and hot air exhaust, maintaining stable thermals even under load. Pre-installed 3x 120mm ARGB fans further enhance airflow while delivering synchronised lighting effects.

Tool-free assembly and EVA PSU protection

Tool-free front and side panels with fixing stud design simplify assembly and reduce the risk of glass damage during installation. EVA anti-vibration foam pads on the PSU mount protect components from operational noise and resonance, ensuring a quieter and more secure build.
