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!

Nice case.
- Pros: Looks sleek, case walls and inner metal pieces feel really sturdy. Awesome bargain. Virtually screwless design so it makes for easy assembly, unless you have to remove the face of it which can be a pain because the pins holding it in are a little hard to get to. Hard drives, dvd drives and everything that fits in the front of the case are really, really easy and secure without screws!
- Cons: The only thing I don't like about it is how the cards, pci cards and the like, are secured. I don't know if it's because of the screwless design or what, but I have yet to make my graphics card and sound card fit really snug with the clips that secure it (in place of screws).
- Other Thoughts: I think the fluorescent blue power led is pretty cool.
Great Case Fantastic Price
- Pros: This is a great case and has an amazing price. It has enough room to fit a Nvidia 8800 GTX card. The screwless mounts for the drive bays made installing hard drives and CD drives easy. Plenty of hand room. the two fans are really quiet compared to other models I've used. Looks and feels very sturdy. Side panels are easy to remove and put back on.
- Cons: The air shaped cone that funnels air from the CPU is awkward and pushed power cables onto the CPU fan. Rather than trying to re-tie the cables somewhere else I just removed the air cone (Simple 4 screw removal). That is the only bad thing and it was a simple fix.
- Other Thoughts: Was able to fit a Gigabyte Mobo Nforce 590 ATX in with AMD x2 5200+ AM2 processor. There was enough room for 1 Nvidia 8800 GTX card however, if you want to run two in SLI then you will probably need to make sure you don't use the top slot on the bottom 3.5 bay.

Not bad, but not great
- Pros: Nice looking case, plenty of space, decent quality, not flimsy or weak.
- Cons: #1 CON is the "tool-less" aspect. Seriously COOLER MASTER - how hard is it to turn a freaking screw driver?! The clips that hold the PCI cards in are worthless, I had to use screws that came with my motherboard (none provided with case BTW). #2 CON is the front: there are 6 little plastic clips that hold the front on the case. I broke 4 of them within 1 minute of having the case out of the box. If you buy this, be careful removing the front cover to install DVD/CD ROM, etc. You'll regret it if you aren't.
- Other Thoughts: Overall it's not a bad case, especially for the price. However, if I were you I'd be prepared to use screws on the PCI slots and to take my time removing the front cover. Also, for any COOLER MASTER folk who read this: can't the case community as a whole come up with some clever way to compartment cables so they don't clutter things up as badly? Just a thought.
great
- Pros: Great case no problems here. easy to install hardware into it.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: The case is nothing special but thats what i wanted in a case.. so it worked out great.. have 2 of these cases. not for your user who wants all the bells and rings...
Great for the price
- Pros: The screw-less design for the drives is perfect, there aren't any mounts or anything. All you do is put in a spare drive and slide the plastic piece over and the drive is secure. The fans seem like they are of good quality and are fairly quiet and the power cable lengths on the fans are just long enough. Also, it comes with TONS of screws so if you buy this, don't worry about not having something.
- Cons: The holes for the motherboard standoffs aren't in the perfect positions. At first I thought it might have been my motherboard but then I tried to install a new one. The holes are drilled slightly off so it was kinda hard to get in perfectly. This isn't something I'm too worried about, it's just a slight inconvenience.
Also, the plastic clips that hold add-on cards in are VERY cheap, the first thing I did when I opened the case was break one of them. Also, with the cards secured down they still move side-to-side a little. Luckily you can just remove the clips if you want and put in screws, the holes are already tapped. Even at that, I opted to use the clips.
- Other Thoughts: Aside from my two complaints, I'll still give this 4 out of 5 stars. It's near to exactly what I want in a case.
