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

Has potential to be great, Fully modular, Extremely strong
Having to pay to make it look pretty, Removable dust filters could be better

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...

Impressively quiet, Tempered glass accessory panel is superb, USB 3.0 type C port on I/O, Heaps of options for installing extra cooling, Very tidy looks, Easy to move hard drive cages around, Two optical drive bays
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.
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...
Stylish design, Well-thought-out interior, Front-facing USB Type-C, Solid build quality throughout, Good cable management, Useful carry handles, Integrated fan and LED hub, Modular customisation options, Decent cooling performance, Optional glass side pan
Pricey at £180, Stock fans could be better, Modular options don't come cheap, I/O panel LEDs are fixed to red
Launching a selection of chassis with multiple modular accessories was always an ambitious feat, yet Cooler Master is close to pulling it off. The MasterCase range has been fleshed out over the course of the past 12 months to include a handful of base mod...

The MasterCase 5 is a great case for liquid-cooled system builders who want the flexibility to place additional components, such as reservoirs and pumps, more conveniently. Users who want to add a top-panel radiator can choose between purchasing the upg...
Looks great, Spacious interior, Solid performance, Useful carry handles, Excellent paint work, Good cable management, Modular parts hold promise
Stock fans could be better, Top filter not easily removed, Mobo standoffs not pre-installed
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...
