Cooler Master Sileo 500 Review
Written by: Leon Hyman
Introduction
There was a time when I would use hotkeys to adjust the fan speed on my video card to maximum, just so I could “rev up” my computer and show off a sense of power to my friends. Times have really changed. Nowadays, I prefer to keep things quiet for the most part. If I really want to show off, I’ll do so by the sheer styling of my chassis and any other accessories I see fit to use. I would also let the performance speak for itself and just fire up one of the latest games, with the greatest graphics.
There comes a time in everyone’s life where they simply just want peace and quiet both for work and play. If that is the ‘case’ with you, then Cooler Master has just the right case for you…
…The Cooler Master Sileo 500.

Cooler Master sucks!
I really don’t see the point why the supposably well-respected companies have to cheat their customer like this!
I recently bought the PC chassis Sileo 500 by Cooler Master. In all the official pictures the case was presented with metallic silver pads at the base. Instead you get some cheap plastic/rubber pads that’s totally unappealing. Thank God you cannot even see them instead of the glorious demonstration of the fancy ones over the official site (and otherwise). At least the company can judge what is ugly and makes the choice to cleverly hide it. Prise to that Cooler Master!
You can of course argue that this is a minor detail but always just always on those situations you get less to what you see. I can understand the cheap technique of having plastic mimic brushed aluminium but not the so striking changes where you get something totally different and always of lower quality both in terms of material and looks. I really don’t see the point why companies act like that. While they succeeded in making me buy this product (by making a fool out of myself) they totally failed earning more money since I was planning to get more products from them. And of course the even bigger damage to their profit is that I do not find a reason which I should suggest Cooler Master to friends. So they loose even more money with those kind of cheap advertisement techniques.
Bye bye Cooler Master (Cooler Sucker rather). I was planning of getting a PSU and CPU fun also from the same company with triple the price tag of the chassis itself but never gonna happen.
Stay away if you have some self respect and want to be treated as a proud honer of a decent product. Never gonna make the same mistake twice.
