CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 Review

[alifffresto]

They already make a side panel but that's a costly almost 30$ option for the MasterCase 5 and that top panel also costs 20$+

My request to them is to offer the side panel on the MC5 as well. And at least, have 240 mounts but not need the extended roof thing. It pisses me off as installing a 120 on top left or right is also a PITA in the case...

ah i see... yerp. since case is not "damp sound".

"silence optimization" is what I'd to call it but a high performance build in a "silence optimized" case is gonna be one hell of a hot and loud system.

Thanks for the review

can always go for both subjected to the cooling afforded to the key components

tbh, i dont have much faith in those pseudo-mod friendly

like "yes it is moddable, but you can choose from the list of parts we have"

reminds me of that oil-filled case by a startup here in sg. i mean, it's new but too much of a hassle.

Lol I remember that one. No oil filled case is ever going to be not a hassle ...

Speaking of mod-ability, are there add-on parts already for sale?

There are at least, not here. From China.
Not cheap!

Is it just me or the standoffs and other screws are not included in the package that comes with this casing???

Sorry to hijack thread but looks like TS already build the pc,so he might know the answer

Can help?? I wasnt expecting the standoffs for cpu to be missing

i'd rather get the pro version for only 40$ more...

Yeah I would also get the Pro version.

Thinking of this or phantek enthoo.. Can anyone advice??

Hesitating about the enthoo because the front side got 1 unfiltered hole. Scared dust will clog up there

Enthoo Pro doesn't have a unfiltered hole. the filter sits behind any "unfiltered hole" I own both cases and trust me the filtering on the MC5 is not the best.

I would buy a Enthoo Pro in a heartbeat over the MC5 unfortunately. It's a very well thought out case but it has many limitations surprisingly. Also, it's rather pricey even though it's pretty solid for the most part.
The 169$ normal MC5 is useless for many configs. (Who doesn't use a 240 AIO in a case like that?)
40$ to get a side window and a AIO mount. Enthoo Pro can fit a 45mm+1 row of fans in the case so why not
Perhaps if you're modding the MC5 then it's a better case to work on perhaps. But the enthoo pro has screws instead of rivets so if you're thinking of painting your case the enthoo pro is the way to go.

The mesh behind the front panel on the MC5 is really what it is, it's the same mesh up top. Grr.

Very hard to notice new posts here.
2 standoffs are preinstalled. The rest is in the box. If there isn't any I think you should either call Ban Leong or go back to the shop you bought from with the acc box or maybe even the case...
