Cooler Master, one of the best names in quality computer enclosures, is still hard at it as they keep coming up with new and innovative ideas for both the average Joe, and computer enthusiast alike. Even in this stale and gloomy global economy, companies like Cooler Master never back down, they work harder. Tough times means cutting back your spending, but is it possible to cut back on price while still maintaining a high level of quality? Cooler Master believes so and they have just the computer case to prove it. Today we have Cooler Master's new Sileo 500, a sleek and sexy new model that could help teach us all a lesson on buying a good quality computer case without spending hundreds of dollars. 

So what was it like during the early 90s when there was no such thing as a production computer case with a window mod, blow holes, fancy duct work, or laser sculpted side panels? Well, for one thing, computer cases didn't cost $300 to $900 and if we wanted a mod we designed and built it ourselves. Absurd? Not if you're on a tight budget like most of us are right now. Let's have a look at Cooler Master's Sileo 500 and see what $60 gets us.
