Yesterday cooler master send me a case to do a review, This is my first review for cooler master so hope you like it.
The case cooler master send me is the cooler master centurion 6. After unpacking the case I had a good look at it, and I was surprised to see how nice it looks.
The cooler master centurion is available in all black and black with silver trim, and that’s the one I have.
SPECS OF THE CASE
MATERIAL - Steel body, aluminum, metal mesh front panel
DRIVE BAYS - External: 3x 5.25" baysInternal: 7x 3.5" & 4x 2.5" (converted from two 3.5” drive bays)
FORM FACTOR – Micro-ATX, ATX
EXPANSION SLOTS 7
COOLING - Front: 140mm blue LED fan x 1 (pre-installed) or 120mm fan x 2 (optional)Top: 120/140mm fan x 2 (optional)Rear: 120mm black fan x 1 (pre-installed)Bottom: 120mm fan x 1 (optional)Side: 120mm fan x 2 (optional)HDD Cage: 120mm fan x 1 (optional
DIMENSIONS - 200 x 464.5 x 481mm / 7.8 x 18.3 x 18.9 inch
WEIGHT – 5.9 kg / 13.0 lbs
SWITCHES – power / reset
I/O USB 3.0 x 2 & USB 2.0 x 2 & Audio In and Out (Supports HD audio).
PACKAGING
I got my sample in a brown cardboard box and it was in place by to compact spacers.
There wasn’t much extra with it, just a manual, and a bag with black screws and golden motherboard stand-offs, four rails for two hard drives ( In the case you find two more pairs of rails because the are stucked to two 2.5 trays) and zip ties.
A CLOSER LOOK
If I take a good look at the case then I see a nice looking case, with all what it needs.
The front sports straigt lines and utilizes mostly plastic.
The rear reveals a bottom mounted psu bay along with an all-black interior. You will find two 120mm mounting spots for cooling fans on the main panel. These are situated right above the expansion slots and should serve their purpose of cooling one ore more graphics cards well. The other panel is completely solid.
The top of the chassis features a ventilated area that can support 2 x 120mm / 2 x 140mm fans or a water cooling radiator up to 240mm.
The front of the chassis houses the most importment style features of the chassis, a pair of aluminum strips down each side add a touch of class to the case.
In the front is 1 140mm blue led fan, but you can put two 120mm in it. Also you can put two fans on the side, and on the bottom of the case if you want.
Inside the case I see there is plenty enough room for your cables and it’s nice that the interior is black coated.
So my opinion is that for a 59 euro costing case you get a very solid case and looks very nice.
There is enough room for a nice cable management, so it can looks good on the inside to.
I had no problems with something not fitting in my pc, The hardware I used to try if it fitted was a gtx 660 videocard, asus sabertooth 990fx and a mugen 3 hardware edition.
