The editors didn't like
Missing cable tie points behind motherboard
Would like to see a full bottom completely covering the PSU
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
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
Full cover for top does not hold as well as it should

One of the accessories I have is the universal GPU holder. As the name suggests, this is not a MasterCase-only accessory.Front PackagingContentsAssembled stuffGPU Holder in Action! Its base is magnetic and it allows up to two cards from sagging. Simple pr...

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...

In this review we looked at the Cooler Master Mastercase 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. Looking back at previous Cooler Master case designs this is something...

& ANALYSIS The MasterCase 5 is as cool as they come and if you splurge on the PRO you definitely will not be disappointed. Excellent cable management and great being modular makes the price tag of $140 and $175 for the Pro a little more justifiable. The...

None that I found
While the overall design of the case might not grab your attention right away the fit and finish is really what surprised me about this case. The SECC steel seemed to be some of the highest quality that I've seen lately. Nothing about this case is cheap...
I have to say this is the first case that has left me with a “What can I do next?” sense of curiosity that I've never experienced before. But, unless they bring more additional parts to the market, it may just feel like I've met an unfinished bridge with...
When I first saw pictures of the MasterCase 5, I had very mixed feelings about it. I liked that Cooler Master went with a more muted design, but I felt like maybe they went too far, as nothing about it really stood out to me. Seeing it in person, I certai...
Abstract: Cooler Master has nailed it with the MasterCase 5 Case! If you've been waiting for a case that has both form and function, this is it! From the sexy exterior to the spacious interior, it's feature rich and has room for expansion. It offers a world of poss...

We had high expectations for the Master Case 5 and Cooler Master didn't let us down. The Master Case 5 and Master Case Pro are probably the most well thought out and correctly engineered cases we have seen to date. Every place we had to run a wire there w...
