Stock fans could be better
Top filter not easily removed
Mobo standoffs not pre-installed
Pricey at £180
Modular options don't come cheap
I/O panel LEDs are fixed to red
Primary (top panel) radiator mount
Which is standard on the Pro 5
Must be purchased separately for the lowermodel MasterCase 5. Designed for radiators
The mesh front panel lets too much noise escape from fancooled internal components. Both version lack
Price is rather high
Fan control is crude with only two positions – High 12V or Low 7V
Lighting control is single colour with three modes
Very limited range of accessories
Cable management is hindered by the fan/light hub which gets in the way.
Solid build, Great level of engineering internally, Excellent cable-routing possibilities, Velcro strips for cable management pre-installed, CPU coolers of up to 190 mm will fit, Very flexible interior, Ability to hold extra large radiator in front, 2x 14
Full cover for top does not hold as well as it should, ODD tool-less system does not hold so well, Case handles not very comfortable to use

Case Handles, Excellent built Quality, Adjustable rear I/O fan area, Excellent cable management features, Good enough clearance for most users, Replacing cable tie loops for velcro strips, Multiple placement options for HDD cage, Large and open front pane
Two USB 3.0 ports, On the expensive side in India, No preinstalled brass standoffs, Concept needs special addons that are not available in other MasterCase variants, Could have given a couple of more 140mm fans or windowed panel for the same pricing
Let's look at the standalone case first. The case's built quality is pretty good and having two handles makes it easy to move the case around. The removable top panel frame is good to easy maintenance and installation though I really wish Cooler Master di...

Strap yourself in, this is going to be a rough one! Ok, first the good stuff. The CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 and Pro 5 are both very well made cases, in fact, and we don't mean this in a bad way, they are much better built than a lot of stuff we've seen fr...
By now, many readers are pretty familiar with my installation procedure, as I always like to install my power supply first, and have all the cables routed before anything else goes into the case. However, I did a slightly different approach this time, wit...

This is a bit strange, as in essence, we are really looking at two different cases in this review. First, we have the more basic MasterCase 5. Here we find a very solid foundation with the use of plastic and mesh to add the styling without being overly a...

Review: Cooler Master Mastercase 5Cooler Master is known to produce a lot of products, coolers (as their name implies), power supplies as well as PC casing. They have made quite a few famous PC casings throughout the years, namely the HAF series. Their ca...
Modular system makes it easy to take away parts you don't need and put together the ones you need, Price
Heavy
The Cooler Master MasterCase 5 is a PC modder's dream come true. This is the first PC case that allows its users to mix and match parts to fit a user's needs perfectly without having to compromise on anything...
