“If you’re looking for a versatile chassis for a quick and pain-free system build
As well as a great way to show off your new hardware
The MasterBox 5 is going to be hard to beat. One of the best mid-budget chassis on the market today.”
So now that I have spent a little more time with the new Cooler Master Masterbox 5 I can finally put together a full opinion. First off, I think the whole Masterbox name is a little confusing once you remember that Cooler Master also has the Mastercase l...
Easy installation & extremely functional, Supports motherboards up to E-ATX, Supports graphics cards up to 410 mm and CPU cooler up to 167 mm, Price, Lots of room behind the motherboard tray
No top cooling, No thumbscrews on the expansion slots
The MasterBox 5 just like the MasterCase 5 we took a look at last year is a very well thought out case. It is a case for builders, and that is really the important thing. As great as a case looks if it is not functional and easy to build in it is not goin...

Price, Mounting Options, Included Fans, Cable Management, Window
Have to install stand offs for motherboard. (I managed to not strip any this go around!), Final Thoughts, The MasterBox 5 is super affordable with tons of room on the inside. Your imagination and tools are really the limitations to this case. If you can
The MasterBox 5 is super affordable with tons of room on the inside. Your imagination and tools are really the limitations to this case. If you can dream it you can make it. If you are in the market for a case that wont break the bank while offer a truck...
Traditional Case Design, Clean Lines, Good Construction, Lots of Support for Watercooling, Ample Room for Cable Routing
Would like to see a full bottom completely covering the PSU, No top fan options
In this review we looked at the Cooler Master MasterBox 5. This is a Mid-Tower case with traditional design cues on the outside and a real attempt to build a modular box on the inside. Much like the MasterCase 5 the new MasterBox 5 has created a modular s...
Simple, modular design, Can support 5.25″ drives (with cage purchase), Budget friendly, Multiple SSD mounting locations, Multiple radiator support
Only 1 proprietary brackets for SSD included, No sound dampening, Plastic window not held securely, Thin steel side panels, No rubber grommets
While custom water cooling loops is possible in this case, it is clearly designed more so for AIO (all in one) liquid coolers. With various radiator options in front, and a 120mm radiator option in the rear, you should be able to liquid cool a CPU as well...
Abstract: Cooler Master's recent case launches have focused on extreme customization, inside and out. The company's MasterCase 5 Series cases are available in several trim levels and provide users with a pretty impressive array of aftermarket options from Cooler Ma...

Usually when one tries to be many things to many people, it does not turn out well. The modular nature of the MasterBox 5 however makes it very accessible to all manner of users. For beginners, the modular aspect lends to ease of installation that make sy...
