Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t Case Review
A Closer Look At The Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t Cont.
Now we get to take a look at whats inside this bad boy. As you can see it has a two tone paint job that will make any build really stand out. You probably can’t see it but there are actually metal flakes in the red paint that sparkle under the red LED lighting. Did I really just use the word “Sparkle” to describe the inside of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t? At the top right of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t is a 2 bay optical drive bay that can be moved up or down and can also be completely removed from the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t. At the bottom right hand side you there is a 2 bay hard drive module that can also be move from side to side or can be removed to add more space for hiding your wiring. If you look closely on the panel right above the hard drive module you can see that Cooler Master has added two SSD mounting brackets at the left rear of the case that hides your SSD drives, ye allows easy access from the back of the case to run your SATA cables and power. So if you ren two SSD drives instead of the old school HDD you can remove the HDD module and give yourself a bit more room in the bottom to finesse and perfect your cabling.
On the reverse side of the of the motherboard tray you get a look at where the fan and LED control module is located, As you can see Cooler Master has done a killer job of securing and neatly routing all of the default cabling it has pre installed for you. There is ample room back here to run all of of your wiring and keep it hidden from the build side of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t, but lets be honest, how easy is it to hide cables with a glass side panel?
Below we have the LED and fan control module. It can be powered by both old school Molex power as well as SATA power. Out of the box the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t comes with one FreeForm LED lighting strip, two front 120mm intake fans, a rear mounted exhaust fan the control module allows up to 6 120mm fans as well as 4 FreeForm LED strips. All of the FreeForm LED strips have a magnetic backing that lets you place them anywhere in the case that there is a metal surface, The only drawback to the LED strips is that they only come in red at the current time. Not a problem for me since my current color scheme is red. So to me it fits in quite well.
What review wouldn’t be complete without a nice view of the bottom of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t. The rectangular rubber pads on the bottom will surely hold the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t in place on most any surface. The dust filter and exhaust opening for the PSU is also an added plus as it keeps the heat from rising to the top of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t and overheating the core compnents of your system.
As with the inside of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t we can clearly see that two tone red/black color scheme of the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t. I really like the one piece design of the legs themselves. If you are like me you hate the individually screwed on feet that are common on most PC cases that come loose after a while and have to be re tightened before the fall off and then you have a lopsided case.
