One of the biggest advantages of building a PC is that one gets a large variety of parts to choose from. Cabinets is one of the fundamental parts of the CPU, housing all of the main components inside it. A good cabinet is necessary to ensure good air flow, so that the main components don’t heat up too easily, beside allowing connection through multiple ports on it (and also an RGB panel which allows you to show off in front of your friends). There are a large number of cabinets in the market to choose from, with market leaders like Antec and Cooler Master producing some of the best designs. One of Antec’s latest innovations is the DF500 RGB cabinet, designed for excellence.

The DF500 is a versatile and spacious mid-tower cabinet with an in-built RGB controller.

For an RGB cabinet, it’s all about the RGB! The RGB controller has many built-in lighting modes, and motherboard synchronization helps take color customization to a different level. Now make your own colors, as complicated as they can be.

RGB fans with built in motherboard sync allow infinite color customization.

If the cabinet itself doesn’t give you the extra wows, showing off the rest of the build will certainly make a few jaws drop. With the dark tinted front panel, and the tempered glass side panel, ensure that everyone gets to see the rest of your setup inside the cabinet.

The front and side panels ensure that people can have a sneak peak at the hottest parts of your rig.

Being able to support extra fans beside the three already provided means you get to set up the ideal airflow conditions inside the cabinet.
