Comment:
Great tiny box for the cash. Comes with 120 mm fan and front fan. All the screws and hardware. Neglect about the manual. It is pure junk. Throw it away since it is useless. That is why I took a star off for this horrible manual. How hard is it to print one particular individuals can study and fully grasp.

This is actually the finest case for the money. If you only want to commit 50 bones on a case, do not look any additional.Cool temps.Somewhat roomy.Minimal sharp corners.Low low value.Involves two fans.Incorporates a wind funnel for your CPU. Totally none for the price. If you want a single with a view, CM delivers the precise very same case as this one particular, only with model number CAC-T05-WW.

Comment:
Incredibly nice case, very clean, no stupid doors covering the drives, aesthetically pleasing, fits effectively into an workplace atmosphere. The tool-totally free drive bays and expansion slots are nicely completed. 120mm rear fan runs at half the speed of an 80mm fan generating it quieter.The chassis speaker can mount in different locations so I was able to relocate it to make the wire reached the connector on the mobo. You have to take the optical drive out in order to pull the case face. I wanted to add a card reader and had to get rid of the DVD drive so I could get rid of the case face. This is a enormous annoyance and if the rest of the case wasn't so effectively carried out would have been worth taking off two eggs. This is a quite big deal to me considering that I maintain 45 workstations and may want to pull the face for any random purpose and don't want to have to energy down the machine to do it. If you don't thoughts disconnecting and removing your optical drives just to pull the face then get this a single. When I upgrade my wife's machine in a couple months I will probably use this case.

- Quite eye-catching, but not showy- Spacious- Fantastic top quality - The tool-much less design and style in the back rails (where you vid card would go, and so on.) is terrible, in my opinion. Pieces are flimsy and hard to operate with, specifically with cards whose grills are thicker than other individuals. But in general they're okay. Large upgrade from the tiny, regular case I got in the buy from ZT Systems. I'd absolutely advise to any person.

Comment:
This case is easy to use, spacious, nicely laid out, and typically a good pleasure to perform with. It also appears fairly excellent, especially for the price tag. There is a design and style flaw with the front bezel on this case. It builds a static-electric differential that when grounded to the rest of the case by a nudge or bump, can lead to a motherboard to assume it has received a reset signal. In other words, you may possibly encounter unexplained reboots.I use high grade components in all of the machines I develop. This case is the skimpiest factor I use, and I have seen this challenge with an Asus and two unique Gigabyte motherboards. I use Corsair power supplies. I am actually sad about this revelation, because I have encouraged this case to numerous folks, and constructed numerous computer systems around this case. I have been attempting to figure out what is causing this challenge for a lengthy time, but have finally been in a position to "fix" it by leaving the bezel off of the computers experiencing the situation.Subsequent I am going to attempt to figure out the finest way to securely ground the complete bezel to the rest of the case. It is going to be a pain to do this since every single mesh pane is mainly insulated by paint. The aluminum rails are independent from anything else, but do have a couple of really clear prospective grounding points (rivets) on the front of the case. Is the synthetic filter fabric selecting up charge from the air, and dumping it to the aluminum rails? I don't know. All I do know is that, devoid of exception, when the bezel is off, the problem is gone.I'm sad. :(

Enough room for all I neededNot also unwieldy. Skilled searching.The screwless fastening is good...till... I almost broke one particular of the plastic fasteners. It's the one particular that holds PCI expansion cards in spot. It was my 2nd video card fastener and they are challenging to pop out (so you can install the card) so I used a pen to press down much easier...and it bent the plastic. The factor wouldn't refasten following that, since I bent it too far. I did finish up making use of a screwdriver to bend it back as well as I could...and it operates, but I will have to be cautious. It wouldn't have been the end of the planet had I broke it entirely, since it was just the 2nd a single. The 1st could hold it's personal. Just anything to be careful with. Not enough to dock an egg. The HDD LED is really bright! I left the computer system on one particular night and it was like a lightning strike across the area every single time it flashed. I thought a ghost flew by me or some thing. I had to cover it up to get some sleep. The subsequent day I just disconnected it on the inside.

A excellent situation for the cash. Relatively sturdy, and the clips install fairly effectively. The 120mm fan on the back is a godsend as nicely, nothing but cool air flowing out from the case. The darn cables kept receiving in my way. Not really a con, I just forgot to tie them down although I was operating. Also not confident exactly where the cable for the front panel fan and the hard drive writing light are. For the value, it's a extremely fantastic situation. Utilized this for my incredibly very first construct, and I am incredibly satisfied. I had a tiny difficulty with receiving the front panel off, you're supposed to use at least a small muscle, but only a tiny. The steel seems a small thin, but looks like it can manage adequate.

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Computer Case
Comment:
Low-cost, 120mm rear fan, great ventilation. Excellent for a low budget silent Pc. 3 difficult drive slots, two are situated right in front of the front 80mm fan. Only the lowest slot does not impede airflow from the fan, on the other hand my sata power supply cable wont reach. Side panel is not bent effectively to fit snug against the back of the case (.25" gap in between chassis and panel). Not a massive deal, everything is nevertheless sealed, but the thumb screws wont go all the way in (without risk of stripping the threads in the chassis) I previously had a coolermaster wavemaster case which have remarkable craftsmanship and good quality. Ɣ eggs is probably due to this bias) I didnt want to pay 赔 for a case again so I went with this one, had excellent critiques and the features I wanted.Certainly you get what you pay for and the quality of this case cannot be compared to a 赔 case. I got spoiled.For those of you that like to monkey about in your case alot (like me), be warned, the sheet metal has sharp edges all over. They can be smoothed with some sandpaper TLC.

Comment:
Good little mid tower sized case. I am a fan of the front usb/firewire/headphone-mic reduce panels versus the upper front panels located much more frequently on circumstances these days. I purchased this back in the end of 2008 for possibly 50 bucks. Served it goal till my rebuild two months back. As well hot! I wasn't even operating a high finish setup (rampage formula mobo, geforce 7600 OC, 2 gigs of ram, e8500 cpu,) and the NB and SB chips generally showed up in between 45-50 degrees Centigrade at idle. This is with the addition of a side fan to attempt and cool items down a little. The cpu under no circumstances really went previous 40 with an aftermarket cooler attached. I could not fathom any genuine upgrades with such a hot case. Purchased a coolermaster HAF 932 ahead of producing upgrades and it cools much superior. Now NB and SB under no circumstances go previous 37C on load and this is with a 5850 VGA card installed. If you are on a budget and are not building a gaming rig then this will suffice. The HA F is a monster and since I sit my case on major of a desk height filing cabinet, I do miss these lower panel USB ports and the extra room on the sides of the case I had with the centurion.

Worked properly for about two years. The front 80mm fan is a bit noisy (noisiest fan in my process).The 120mm fan dropped it's RPMs to 𞸤 (should be ~ 2000) immediately after two years of operation, causing my process to overheat. Graphics card was sensible adequate to shut down my system, so no permanent harm done even though. Beware of the fan top quality in this case. If you replace the fans with greater ones for a few bucks then you have can make a case for this case :-) Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer,We apologize for any inconvenience. If any component, such as a fan, is faulty, we can replace it beneath warranty. You can request that fan under Aspect Request link beneath.

Comes with the 120mm and 80mm fans.Excellent airflow styleExcept for behind the three.five bays, spacious caseUnused bays have a mesh like film on them preventing a good quantity of dust from coming by way of the holes in the front panel. Couldn't fit the front panel back on with tower devoid of cutting off these tiny plastic clips on the front panel. Each 5.25 bay has 4 clips ƒ on every single side) which is annoying. You can either sand them down or cut them away (I chose to cut them). Time consuming.A little cramped behind the three.five difficult drive bays and the motherboard. The unused 5.25 bays in fact line up with the rear 120mm fan perfectly.. and because of the mesh on the front panel, I could finish up putting a 120mm fan in location of the unused five.25 bays and get rid of the stock 80mm at the bottom.

I've employed this case to develop three computers for clients. They are roomy, hold components reasonably cool. Could want some further 120mm fans to maintain it a lot more cool.

This case is roomy! You will surely uncover all the space you need to have for all your elements. Enough drive slots for any mans DVD drive or HDD collection! The tool-less drive slots hold onto drives very effectively, and it is wide sufficient to fit a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 cooler! The only actual con of the tool less pci/e slot holders. They are produced of plastic and are really uncomplicated to break if you apply too substantially pressure. Nevertheless, they still hold properly even if the recommendations are broken off so it is definitely not a game breaker. It's not flashy and it doesn't have a side window to show off your fancy LED's, but it absolutely gets the job performed.

Wonderful Air flow and with blue LED fans looks fantastic! like the tool free install of drives Restricted space for HD's and positioning of HD poor for 9800gtx Like the case have had it over 4 years but the only thing I do not like is that I had to place on of my HD's in the 5.25 slots to make room for the 9800GTX Fantastic case tho!

Bought this situation, oh, about 6 years ago to develop my AMD method. If you're searching for a straight forward situation that'll do a great job at dissipating heat, this is fantastic. No fancy(annoying) LED lights, or noisy fans. Wish it had much more USB ports on the front, but this situation is 7 years old.

I was capable to modify the stock fan that came with the heatsink to fit into that vent duct (blowing air onto the CPU.) If you don't mind losing 3 optical bays mount a 120mm intake fan on the bottom 3 5.25 bays. I have five HDD's so the bay for the external 3.5 is occupied, if you take a Dremel and cut off the tension plate in the top rated you can squeeze in an additional 60mm fan.Clean that front panel at least after a month, Under no circumstances place your case directly on the floor!

spacious box, heavy-duty, tool-much less setup.part of a combo deal; so it was a good price tag! the front panel was a lil' complicated to place back onto the situation immediately after the optical drive was inserted.ม shipping price (it was the only item that had a shipping expense from my 8-item order) happy with the case. BUT, will get a situation with less five.25 and 3.5 bays next time; i only need 1 five.25 bay. plus, i'll get a case with the front power buttons greater on the front panel.
