The range of computer cases available today is large and confusing. Every now and then, a solid, capable case with stylish design comes along that deserves more attention. Made of high-quality aluminum, the Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW provides optimum ventilation to your PC with a unique perforated screen design that maximizes airflow and is also virtually "tool-free". It is designed for easy assembly, cleaning, quick maintenance and upgrades. The enclosure is compatible with both ATX and Micro-ATX motherboards.

The Centurion can accommodate massive storage capacity, with five 5.25" drive bays, and five 3.5" bays (including four hidden and one external) which provide for the installation of CD-ROMs and hard drives. Excellent cooling is provided by the 120mm exhaust fan and the 80mm intake fan, and the chassis is equipped with a side air duct for further ventilation. Easy USB, FireWire, and audio connectivity is provided by two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire port, and Microphone and Speaker ports in the front. This is a great case for the do-it-yourselfer who needs a lot of flexibility at a value price!

1 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Sleek design, fit almost all parts in a neat and organized manner.

Cons: Did not seat motherboard properly, causing it to not seat graphics cards properly. I purchased an ASUS motherboard to use inside the case and it wouldnt sit the USB ports properly with the cutout in the rear (which is not really that big of a deal to me) . But the deal breaker was because it didnt seat right, the video cards didnt seat all the way, so I had to purchase a new case. There was no way around the problem, short of grinding my video cards down, or cutting the case.

Other Thoughts: I would not recommend purchasing this case.

Also, if you do end up purchasing this case, and not upgrading your video card, theres no way its going to fit. Theres about 6 solid inches from the rear punch outs to the drive docks.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

We apologize for any inconvenience. If the motherboard standoffs are not installed properly or are not screwed in all the way, it can cause the trouble you are mentioning. If you would like to troubleshoot the case or have any questions, please contact us via Live Chat.

Respectfully,


CMUSA Customer Support.

5 out of 5 eggsBest computer case ever made

Pros: Very sturdy and flexible design

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I've owned my case for over 5 years and it still serves me well. I had to upgrade the PSU 2 years ago, but that wasn't the fault of Coolermaster. I'm glad they're still offering this case. I plan on buying another one.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: I've purchased several of these in various colors, they're awesome cases. It's about as easy to work in as it gets for a mid-tower, and the case looks classy. It fits in anywhere, from an office to a dorm room.

Cons: I have not had one single issue with any of the dozen or so I've worked in, apart from one that had a bend in the metal courtesy of UPS's careful and courteous handling.

It might be nice to have a little more in the way of cable management options, but if you're careful and you've got some tape and zip ties lying around it's not a problem.

Other Thoughts: These cases probably aren't something I'd go with for a gaming/high end machine since the air flow isn't spectacular (read: get a full tower), but that's a total non-issue for work PCs and similar other builds, and these Centurions work wonders for those kinds of systems.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Case

Pros: Very elegant, simple look -- I really like the black mesh and silver finish. Front panel has audio and mic jacks, plus 2 USB and a FireWire port. Metal construction feels very solid, and power/reset buttons are quality.

Plenty of room, too, and circulation is great. Included 120mm exhaust and 80mm intake fans are very quiet.

Cons: A little roundabout to remove the panel from 5.25" bay to install an optical drive.

Other Thoughts: I like that this doesn't have a case window on the side; it looks more professional in a business setting.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case

Pros: I have had this case for almost 3 years, and it has served well.
-Easy installation of drives in drive bays, do not require screws, and seems to hold drives great. I don't have to get my tools out.
-Although the tool-free latches for the PCI card slots can be flimsy, I decide not to post it as a con since it still provides screw holes anyways if you want "classic" card security. Can't complain about that.
-Both 80mm front fan and rear 120mm fans still work.
-the inside "front grill" of the case includes dust-filtering material. Although it seems like a con that it collects dust pretty quickly, it's good to know that it's much less dust inside my computer. Easier to clean them out than my internal computer components.

Cons: -Dust tends to collect a bit around the hard-drive bay despite the 80mm fan, but not a whole lot. May get a new and better fan anyways, which may help.
-With dual SLI'd MSI Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT cards installed on my Mobo, it appears to block some of my hard-drive bays because of their length. However, don't really need it as I only have 2 hard drives.

Other Thoughts: -Just be sure to clean the dust from the front panels often. It helps keep dust out, but too much dust would keep airflow from coming in.
-I plan on replacing the side air duct on my case with a fan (I believe it's 80mm size), as the duct doesn't seem to line up with my CPU and its fan.

5 out of 5 eggsPretty sweet.

Pros: Looks nice (rare these days), good build quality, easy to work on, nice selection of front panel ports, and decent airflow design.

Cons: Likes to accumulate dust on the front panel, where the air intake is.

Other Thoughts: The toolless design isn't a big selling point for me. I'd actually find it a little more satisfying if the hard drives were secured by screws, for example. I don't mind pulling out a philips head screwdriver for a little more peace of mind. On the other hand, everything in this case has been rock solid for a couple years now, so I guess it's doing its job.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case!

Pros: This case is roomy! You will definitely find all the room you need for all your components. Enough drive slots for any mans DVD drive or HDD collection! The tool-less drive slots hold onto drives very well, and it is wide enough to fit a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 cooler!

Cons: The only real con of the tool less pci/e slot holders. They are made of plastic and are very easy to break if you apply too much pressure. However, they still hold well even if the tips are broken off so it is definitely not a game breaker.

Other Thoughts: It's not flashy and it doesn't have a side window to show off your fancy LED's, but it definitely gets the job done.

4 out of 5 eggsNice Case

Pros: Much more sturdy than a budget case
Optical and Hard Drive tooless clamps work much better than expected.

Cons: Tooless expansion card clamps are worthless. Throw them away and use a screw to secure the card.
No space between MB tray and CD Rom tray for cable management

1 out of 5 eggs120mm fan broke

Pros: Worked well for two years.

Cons: After two years, 120mm failed causing my system to crash (GPU over-heat).

Other Thoughts: Great case if the 120mm fan had not failed. I'm replacing both fans in this case.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

We apologize for any inconvenience. Fan failure is mainly attributed to dust. Please keep the system clean from dust regularly. In regards to your fan, you can request a replacement under warranty via the Part Request link below. Should you have any questions, please contact us via Live Chat.

1 out of 5 eggs120mm fan broke

Pros: Worked well for about two years.

Cons: The front 80mm fan is a bit noisy (noisiest fan in my system).
The 120mm fan dropped it's RPMs to ~500 (should be ~ 2000) after two years of operation, causing my system to overheat. Graphics card was smart enough to shut down my system, so no permanent harm done though.

Other Thoughts: Beware of the fan quality in this case. If you replace the fans with better ones for a few bucks then you have can make a case for this case :-)

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

We apologize for any inconvenience. If any part, such as a fan, is faulty, we can replace it under warranty. You can request that fan under Part Request link below. If you have any questions, please contact us via Live Chat link below.
