The Cooler Master Q500L is a mini-tower case that fits full ATX boards, for which Cooler Master gets full credit. The case is a modified version of the Q300L micro-ATX case, using much of the same tooling but with a relocated PSU. Cooling is a serious challenge in this case, so much so that even with 8-10 different fan, PSU, and orientation configurations, we still couldn't make the case any good for our system.
