You're probably familiar with the expression "It's not big, and it's not clever". Well the Fractal Design Core 500 isn't big, but it certainly appears to be quite clever. By this we mean we're not quite sure how they manage to cram so much into such a c...
With its plain looks, the Core 500 is not imbued with a lot of style, but the underlying design is remarkably solid. Though the intake vents along the sides of the front panel are overly restricted by foam linings, it's well ventilated thanks to the large...
There is a ton to like in such a small chassis. On the outside, the CORE 500 offers a brushed metal-like texture to the front, and along with it being flanked with strips of mesh to either side, it has an appeal that a lot of potential customers will lik...
Can fit up to a 310mm graphics card, Easy to build in or upgrade, Highly configurable in terms of CPU cooling, drive options and an optical bay if you need it, Versatile: Compact high-end Gaming, HTPC or study/office workstation, Great Value @ $95, Decept
Not as 'sleek' as the Node series
If you're pressed for space, this case doesn't take much of it. The Core 500 should satisfy the reasonable expectations of all system builders with the component compatibility and neutral aesthetics.This is an ideal case for LAN rigs or compact gaming sys...

Does not have front panel fan intake slot, Does not have window version side panel, Fractal Design Core 500 received Gold Award from OCDrift.com, Disclaimer: OCDrift.com gives out our own award based on the Hardware Performance, OverClocking Ability, In
When it comes to compact case, it's my favorites! The case is really great compared to the other ITX case I ever played before. Fractal design takes every inch of space inside to fit everything possible in one small form factor case. The Core 500 support...
Nous arrivons à la fin de ce dossier et la compagnie de l'étonnant Core 500 ne fût finalement pas si désagréable. Voyons ce qu'il ressort de ce test :Petit, ça oui, mais accueillantLe boîtier est compact, on ne peut pas vous le cacher. Cependant, l'instal...
Finition de l'ensemble, Qualité de fabrication, Sobriété, Espace interne, Bonnes performances, Filtres anti-poussières
mais il faut enlever les panneaux pour les nettoyer, Vibrations des disques, Design ouvert donc niveau sonore très sensible aux, composants installés
Les performances sont bonnes et les composants n'étoufferont pas, le design ouvert laissera cependant échapper les nuisances sonores. Les seuls petites choses que je pourrais lui reprocher sont l'obligation de retirer le panneau pour nettoyer les filtres...
Fintion, Châssis intéressant, Possibilité d'intégration, Filtré Assez peu de limite
Prix
Avec le Core 500, Fractal Design nous propose une nouvelle fois un boitier comme la marque sait le faire. Nous avons un produit qui présente bien, qui est bien fait et qui propose une très bonne conception. Le boitier ne manque pas de place, et on peut me...
Schöne Front, Attraktiver Preis, hochwertiger Lüfter im Lieferumfang, Hohe und leistungsstarke CPU-Kühler möglich, Insgesamt gute Verarbeitung, Viel Platz für Laufwerke. Bis zu sechs Stück, 5.25'' Schacht, Gute Belüftung der Grafikkarte direkt durch Seite
Verlegung der Kabel etwas fummelig, Zwischen VGA und Netzteil sehr eng für Kabel (Modulares Netzteil dringend zu empfehlen)
Mit dem Define Nano S hatten wir bereits ein Mini ITX Case im Tower Format von Fractal Design im Test und waren von dem Konzept des sehr kleinen Towers für den kleinen Geldbeutel recht angetan, zumal das Gehäuse trotz der geringen Maße wirklich extrem vie...

Fractal Design hat mit dem Core 500 ein super Barebone Gehäuse auf den Markt gebracht, welches sogar kleinere Gaminghardware samt Wasserkühlung in Betrieb nehmen kann. Man bekommt für so ein kleines Gehäuse, relativ viel Platz geboten, gerade dann, wenn m...
