The Cooler Master Mastercase H500 represents the base mass-market model at the center of the H-series. With a price tag of around $100 versus $200 or more for the fancier variants, the classic H500 comes with a well-rounded set of features and retains the main design elements of the series very well. As such, you would never have to feel bad for having gone for the less elaborate option.

Slightly modified version of the Master Case 5, which I own.
it is most certainly NOT a modified mastercase 5 so not sure where you got that from. I have used both cases and they are nothing alike.

I said it is slightly modified version of the Mastercase 5, not that they took a Master Case 5 and slightly modified that. They most certainly have much alike to one another, though.

they have essentially nothing in common so I have no idea what you are meaning. I have just built in both cases in one week so I am pretty sure I might know firsthand.

I would like to buy this case, but as I see, the motherboard that I want to buy would lose 2x usb 3.1 c.
Motherboard in question z390 AORUS PRO.
