Product Description
The MasterBox MB520 ARGB is the optimum ATX gaming PC chassis for showing off component lighting while keeping systems cool. The DarkMirror front panel is smoked a shade darker to add sharper contrast to the pre-installed ARGB fans. On each side of the front panel, mesh ventilation spans from top to bottom to provide the interior with considerable airflow. The front mesh ventilation works collectively with the top and rear ventilation to optimize airflow. With support for up to seven fans and front, top, and rear liquid cooling components, there is a high potential for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled builds. With a tempered glass side panel, ARGB fans, and a DarkMirror front panel, every build is properly displayed inside the MasterBox MB520 ARGB.

1 Nice case, Glass side cover is good quality tinted looks great,
2 good value, no sharp edges, easy to build in
3 Good cable management, good quality cables,
4 Included ARGB fans are quiet (well almost)
5 Great air flow,
6 I like the fact there is no window in PSU basement
7 3.5 drive cage is easily removable, 2X 2.5 inch drive mounting provisions behind motherboard with rubber gromet mounting make switching drives easy no tool removal.
8 ARGB controller included (well kind of)
9 front fans can use 3 pin fan header or Molex. you can run all 3 off one 3 pin fan header and daisy chain the other 2 via Molex
Cons
1 not compatible with my Asus Rampage 3 Gene Micro ATX because it lacks provisions for 3 standoffs at the bottom of this motherboard, had to use my P6X58D-e instead.
2 One of the included ARGB fans is defective makes noise and vibration, Cooler Master dose not sell these fans separate if they fail outside of warranty, I will need to return it to cooler master and pay for the postage this could take over a month.
3 The ARGB controller $ucks will not display static colors only breathing and will not display only one color in other lighting effects no dimmer for lighting and no front IO to control ARGB
4 May not be compatible with 240mm (120x2) AIO, might block access to or even come in contact with ram, I couldn't mount my cooler master 120mm AIO at the top front because of this. I wanted direct air from the front fans now all the hot air from the GPU and other components must exhaust through it from the rear.
5 no provisions for vertical mounted GPU riser
6 No removable front dust filter
7 side panel screws are not threaded well, I recommend chasseing the threads with tap and die before installation my old Cooler master side case screws feel solid and thread in and out as they should, these feel cheap.
8 Would be nice if the panels were hinged, can be difficult to install side panels. but once installed gaps look good. be careful with back side panel the metal can bend easily.
9 No front USB 2.0 only USB 3.0 had to purchase a PCIE to 3.0 USB card may not be a problem for newer motherboards

Pros:
Lots of space. The two builds I put in them were budget builds so the graphics cards (6600) are small and the processors (5600) are just using their stock coolers. I'm confident that the case is more than big enough to support the longest graphics cards and most if not all after-market CPU coolers.
The stock fans are relatively quiet, provide decent airflow, and the RGB seems fine if you're into that sort of thing (I'm not but my kids love it).
The case has very good airflow with all the space and mesh panels.
The tempered glass looks nice and is reasonably thick.
The case itself feels very solid, being mostly metal parts.
Cons:
The tempered glass panels have one side with screws, and the opposite side has a U-shaped piece of metal that slides around a thin piece of metal in the case in order to secure it. One of the U-shaped pieces of metal came bent, making it a pain to take off and line up the screws. Not a big enough deal for me to try and RMA it, but annoying none the less.
The cases would be pretty loud if I had better components with bigger/louder fans in it, but that's just how it is for every case designed to maximize airflow as far as I'm aware, so that's not really a problem for this specific model - a tradeoff for the good airflow it offers rather than a true con.
The mount for SSDs is directly above some of the back plugins for an ATX motherboard where you would plug in the sound, power button, etc., from the case into. This is why this case gets a 3.5 and a full review from me instead of just a "5/5 good case". The case has SO MUCH SPACE, and yet it felt so cramped when I was plugging those wires in. I removed the SSD when I did it of course, but then I had to bend some wires out of the way to get it back in. There's just no need for that, if that mount had just been an inch or two higher, which there is more than enough space for, or if it had been put somewhere else entirely, there'd be no issue.
I had to use my drill to get out a couple of screws that were holding the drive bays in (which make the space for the power supply needlessly cramped, I'd probably be whining about that as well if I had to actually use the drive bays and leave them in), as well as one or two of the screws for the removable grates on the back to stick the video and wireless cards out of. To be fair, the screwdriver in my computer building kit is very thin and hard to get good torque on, if gremlins (AKA my kids) hadn't apparently lost all of my full-size cross point screwdrivers then the drill probably wouldn't have been needed.
Overall, now that the builds are put together the cases are completely fine, but it was a bit annoying to build in and I'll probably go a different direction next time. The case had a lot of potential, I think if the space had been better-utilized it would have made a big difference.
