4 out of 5 eggsGood for a basic build

Pros: I love the toolless design. Makes installing everything a breeze. The fans are quiet and provides good airflow to the mobo. The cables to connect to the mobo are also well labeled. I like the LEDs in the front. Gives it a cool look without being too ostentatious.

Cons: However, the airflow over the hard drives sucks. This can be a problem if you fill up the rack with some hotter HDs such as the Hitachi Deskstars. Luckily, you can install another fan in front of the HD rack, but it takes a bit of elbow grease to take the rack out and put it back together.

Other Thoughts: Great for a simple build. If you only plan to install 1 or 2 HDs, don't worry too much about the heat issue.

5 out of 5 eggsCenturion 534+ Blk

Pros: I have used this case to build 6 systems, incl. my own. It is by far the best case I've ever used. Quality construction, super easy access, no messing around with screws, more than enough room for a ton of upgrades, and it has sleek, classy looks -- modern and up-to-date yet conservative. I used Enlight for years, but Cooler Master Centurion 534 is a keeper! I hope they never discontinue this model.

Cons: The electric blue neon on the front panel can be very distracting if the computer is in the same room you sleep in and runs 24/7 like mine does. It is insanely bright in a black dark room! Had to disable the lights in the front panel except for power and HD activity. Not really a con though, just my weird sleeping arrangments.

5 out of 5 eggsNice case!

Pros: It's sturdy, has plenty of room, looks classy, and has great airflow. I added a third fan to the front and it is still very quiet. I can barely tell when the computer is powered on.

The subtle blue LEDs in the front are a nice touch. This is easily the best case in this price range and I am very happy with it.

Cons: The reset button was rattling around loose in the box when it arrived. It was easy to pop back on and is quite secure now, but would have been a bummer if that little button had gotten lost somewhere along the way.

The front panel, as others have said, is a little scary to remove due to the fastener clips. It takes a lot of pressure to remove and makes a loud SNAP when it finally pops off. I have removed it a few times now without anything breaking but it's an uncomfortable maneuver.

Other Thoughts: I added a third fan to the front to cool the hard drives. The hard drive cage is easy to remove if you have a phillips screwdriver. The front panel clips will survive at least a few removal/replacement cycles.

5 out of 5 eggsGood

Pros: Case arrived with no damage. Case looks ok for the price. It's definitely a good buy for something cheap for grandma or something

Cons: You must get creative with cable management.
The hard drive cage has to be removed before a 120mm fan can be installed in the front.
The tool-less design for the expansion slots is cheap.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a semi-stylistic case but don't want to break the budget I would recommend it.

4 out of 5 eggsGood Case for the Price

Pros: Good case for the price, good cooling system, 120mm fans (2 included, 3 locations), good layout, nice looking

Cons: screwless system of the foward-facing drives is wonky and complicated to use, position of side-facing (internal) drives is too close to case wall (for cabeling), sheet-metal screw holes resulted in a few "infinite turning" screws.

Other Thoughts: The snap-on rails for the side-facing (internal) HD bays are much more favorable to the screw-less system on the forward facing bays. With the 5.25" bays, the screwless system worked pretty well because lining up the screw holes was much easier. But with the 3.5" bays, lining up was difficult, resulting in a bent rail (which still works). But the whole system is based on friction on one side - I'd recommend still using at least one screw on the one side.

As for the side-facing bays, the snap on rails are awesome and worked well. I just wish I had more room for cabeling. On my SATA drives, the power/bus cables misaligned when I closed up the case. There isn't much room. Another half inch of space, and I'd be golden.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case

Pros: Solid structure, More than enough room for my full size intel board, artic freezer 7 pro and 8800gts. Harddrives are very easy to access. Blue leds are not to bright, just enough to give a little glow at night. Best part about the case is that when you remove the front panel you dont have to worry about the wires from the leds and switches. They are all attached to the case rather than the front panel.

Cons: Front 120mmfan is a bit tricky to install but nothing a little foot to fan cant fix.

5 out of 5 eggsgreatest case

Pros: The title says it all. This may be the greatest case I have ever used. I never bought Cooler Master before, but this may make me a devout convert.
The case is solid, has more room than you can shake a motherboard at, and accomodates hardware very nicely. Lots of airflow means your computer runs nice and quiet, the way it should.

Cons: The power LED on the front of the case could probably burn a hole through a Buick. It casts a focused beam of light that is coherent even at a distance of 10 feet. My computer used to sit so that it happened to shine at me when I was in my bed, it made sleeping almost impossible. But this is a minor gripe.

4 out of 5 eggsSolid Case

Pros: This case has a nice clean look. Definately not over the top. I don't really like the cases that look like they're about to "transform." The toolless design is great. It had plenty of room for my needs. I had a good time putting together my newest system in this case.

Cons: None that I could think of. The power light doesn't work but I'm not sure if it's the case or the motherboard. I dinged it 1 star for not having a front eSATA connection.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Tool free design. Plenty of room for the Zalman CNPS 9x00 coolers after removing the air intake vent, and lots of room to work. There is room for an additional 120mm fan in the front to blow air across the drives if you mount them there. There is also plenty of air flow in the case, enough to have your own weather system.

Cons: Some video cards are not firmly in with the tool free design, and the holes you would normally put a screw in aren't pre-threaded. I did take a standard screw, that is normally used for this in another case and it went in and stayed tight.
"Tool free" is clearly written everywhere in the manual, box, specs, Cooler Master's website, and this issue is mentioned a lot in the other reviews. It's not really a "nobody told me this" moment and I won't knock off any points either.

Other Thoughts: I have owned 2 for a few years, and ordered 2 more for new system builds.

The first thing I do after pulling the case out of the box is remove the front led lights. You can call them whatever you want bling, fog lights, headlights, nightlights.... My choice is function over fashion. For my eyes I like the old dim led's that were either red or green, however I don't spend my time looking at the case, I look at the monitor.

5 out of 5 eggsTerrific case for the money

Pros: Two 120 mm fans (side/back) are quiet, even at full blast. Mesh grill tones LEDs down and looks really sharp...not a tacky case. Spacious. Reasonably solid construction.

Cons: Glossy finish picks up fingerprints, though not horribly. Some sharp edges (around PSU mounting area). No front fan included.

Other Thoughts: I'm extremely satisfied with this case. Looks great and was easy to build in.
