Packaging
The Cooler Master Sileo 500 came packaged in a typical Cooler Master case box, following the purple/white color scheme. The product name and a picture of the case are labeled on one side while the other side goes into a little bit more detail about the features of the case.
One of the smaller sides goes into the specifications of the case. The case is protected inside the packaging by two hard pieces of Styrofoam and a plastic bag to protect it from any dust gathering on it.

Cooler Master sucks!
I really don't see the point why the supposably well-respected companies have to cheat their customer like this!
I recently bought the PC chassis Sileo 500 by Cooler Master. In all the official pictures the case was presented with metallic silver pads at the base. Instead you get some cheap regular plastic feet not even rubberized in the tone of producing a silent vibration free product and look totally unappealing. Thank God you cannot even see them instead of the glorious demonstration of the fancy ones over the official site (and otherwise). At least the company can judge what is ugly and makes the choice to cleverly hide it. Prise to that Cooler Master!
You can of course argue that this is a minor detail but always just always on those situations you get less to what you see. I can understand the cheap technique of having plastic mimic brushed aluminium but not the so striking changes where you get something totally different and always of lower quality both in terms of material and looks. I really don't see the point why companies act like that. While they succeeded in making me buy this product (by making a fool out of myself) they totally failed earning more money since I was planning to get more products from them. And of course the even bigger damage to their profit is that I do not find a reason which I should suggest Cooler Master to friends. So they loose even more money with those kind of cheap advertisement techniques.
Bye bye Cooler Master (Cooler Sucker rather). I was planning of getting a PSU and CPU fun also from the same company with triple the price tag of the chassis itself but never gonna happen.
Stay away if you have some self respect and want to be treated as a proud honer of a decent product. Never gonna make the same mistake twice.
