What case is best for you depends on the purpose you have for it. If you want a silent case, you might be willing to sacrifice some of the cooling performance. On the other hand you might tolerate a bit more noise when you are building a heavy system th...

Cooler Master has been teasing us with the MasterCase Maker 5 for quite some time and finally the wait is over. We have previously seen the MasterCase 5 and Pro 5 (and rather liked the Pro) but what we really wanted was the Maker 5.In essence Pro 5 is a 5...
The first version of the MasterCase was already an interesting case, since finally Cooler Master chose to go down a different route Like with the previous model, the Maker 5 is suitable for highend builds Design is always a matter of taste but we believe...

Cooler Master is taking a risk in revamping its product portfolio to include a range of components that focus on modular customisation, but it's a risk worth taking.In a marketplace brimming with formulaic enclosures, it's refreshing to see a Taiwanes...

As i'm writing this review we're a few days away from the NDA being lifted and at present we don't actually have the RRP for either the case or any of the accessories that will enable you to make a Maker 5 from either the Mastercase 5 or the Pro 5. As we...
