I've purchased various of these in numerous colors, they're amazing instances. It's about as uncomplicated to operate in as it gets for a mid-tower, and the case looks classy. It fits in anyplace, from an office to a dorm area. I have not had a single single concern with any of the dozen or so I've worked in, apart from one particular that had a bend in the metal courtesy of UPS's careful and courteous handling.It may possibly be good to have a tiny a lot more in the way of cable management possibilities, but if you're careful and you've got some tape and zip ties lying about it's not a challenge. These cases almost certainly aren't a thing I'd go with for a gaming/high end machine since the air flow isn't spectacular (read: get a complete tower), but that's a total non-concern for perform PCs and related other builds, and these Centurions perform wonders for those sorts of systems.

Very good design, easy to install Poor manual.It was difficult to realize how to install 5.25 & three.five bays, and pci cards.It is distinct from other situations, so it was tough to figure it out.

Looks great. Compare to other desktop cases, I like the simplicity in style, and case also delivers two fans which keeps your parts cool. The PCI/PCI-E clips breaks very very easily. I currently broken 2 attempting to install my HD 5770. The case will have difficulty fitting bigger more high end cards such as 5870

It has good room for a mid-tower. Tool-totally free HD and 5.25 bays work as advertised with no hassles. Fits a Radeon HD 4890 which is a fairly big card. Side panels feel very sturdy when removing and replacing them. Probably won't fit a newer 5800 series ATI card or a nVidia 400 series card but if you have the money for that you're most likely getting a full tower anyway. Collects a small dust in the mesh grill on the front but is straightforward to clean with canned air. I've built three rigs with 3 separate Centurion five's and have enjoyed them all.Major Rig has:AMD Phenom 9850 BEASRock 780GXE렘MG.Skill 8GB Ɣ x 2GB) DDR2 800XFX HD 4890Corsair 750TXSpinQ CPU CoolerWD Caviar Black 640GBWindows 7 Residence Premium 64-bit

Roomy, solidly built, has a side air duct, decently made screw-free of charge technique, low value, pretty light, simple to carry.I purchased this case properly over a year and a half ago for myself when I built my Intel Core2 setup, and was so content with it that when I had a consumer of mine request that I pick out a very good case for him, I got him this one! It's incredibly basic, properly laid-out, and very clean-seeking. no real rough edges to slice your fingers on. It is a uncomplicated, no-frills mid-side case great for any ATX-sized construct. It fit a (BFG Tech, OC edition) GTX 275 graphics card in it, with just barely adequate space to spare, and a (EVGA) 8800GT with some breathing room. Front panel, like almost all situations, can be a little tricky to take on/off.The only negative I have to say about the screw-no cost design is the PCI/expansion card clips are pretty picky. It functions nicely with say, wireless cards, or IDE controllers, or USB expansions, but video cards would actually do far better by popping off the clips and rather working with a screw to secure it into the case (both my 8800GT and the GTX 275 required this). Can't truly say it's solely the case's con, but I identified that if I tightened the motherboard screws on to the mounters too hard for my consumer's laptop or computer, one or far more of the pins on the motherboard had been touching the case on the bottom, causing the personal computer to not even make it through POST. Needless to say, I was scratching my head for hours trying to figure out what was wrong ahead of I discovered that out. Simple adequate fix, all I had to do was unscrew each motherboard screw about a quarter turn and it was fine.

Low-cost, durable and a lot of space. Fit all my stuff and functions fine None so far

Comment:
Excellent case. Simple access. Tool - much less installation of drives. WARNING -- when you very first open this case the fumes/vapors are pretty bad. Working more than this case soon after it is initial opened created me fairly ill/light headed/nauseous. I suggest letting the case air out outside or in your garage for various days just before using it. I let the laptop run (with fans) in my garage for numerous days. The smell is a lot superior and nearly gone.This smell is probably composed of carcinogenic VOCs.

Great air flow, easy to route cables on the backside, plenty of space for upgrades. None 2500+ reviews, 5 eggs, 'nuff said.

This case fit well with my ATX motherboard and has lots of space for optical as nicely as storage drives. I utilised it for 3 years as the case for my desktop, and it's now the case for my server. It's fairly light as properly. Could use a lot more fans. Without having any modding it accommodates two intake fans࿰mm) and 1 exhaust fan鲸mm). Now that I'm using it as a server I wish it had much more difficult drive bays, but with a five.25" to 3.5" adapter you can turn the optical drive slots into challenging drive bays. Great case if you don't have really hot components, incredibly light if it has to be moved a lot. Overall fantastic case, specially for a server!

Comment:
Bays bays and additional bays! This factor is huge and delivers so a lot room for expansion. It's straightforward to function in and on. It gives IMHO superb airflow for all my cooling demands (hence the name proper). The included fans are whisper quiet even whilst operating full bore. This factor looks sharp too. Very Spartan but much less is more If I had anything to knock it on, the front usb ports are too close, if they had been 1Ǟ" farther apart I could fit my oversize thumb drive ࿀GB) subsequent to my other USB items. As it is now I can squeeze them both in but you can tell factors are getting put in a bind. I'm completely digging the dedicated port that pipes outside air directly to the CPU fan. For โ you can not beat this case!

Comment:
Simple to access each sides.Insanely simple to install a tough disk drive or graphic cards.Nice and basic searchingsuperior for men and women who don't have significantly experience with situations(like me)Did I mention it's affordable? You can quickly break one of the plastic levers that hold the graphics cards in place.

Comment:
Sturdy. Simple side panel access. A lot of room to function inside case. none come to mind

Comment:
great ram for starter systems and new do-it-yourselfers. heat spreaders keep the memory cooler and provides you one thing to grip even though installing, better than having the edges of the stick dig into your fingers none at all

Comment:
Great style, solid create, big fan, clamping/tooless cards and drives, incoming air filter Power button is not recessed so it is too straightforward to accidentally press it. Blue LED's are too bright. I can't think they still make this case! I bought mine practically five years ago. Side vents on such circumstances are a waste- they pretty substantially ruin airflow. You want the air to enter the front, more than the drives, and flow more than the motherboard and CPU and then exhaust by way of the case fan and power supply. So I taped some cardboard more than the side vents :)

Comment:
Has all the cabling you need easy to use None

Comment:
CD Drive and Tough Drives fit in well Unfortunately the positioning of the tough drive bays doesn't permit this case to fit a 9800GTX. So this case is useless to me. Also no brackets for two.5" SSD.

Comment:
Wonderful aesthetic design. Seems to have decent ventilation. Biggest complaint, front jacks have not worked considering that installation. The USB ports work perfectly fine. Due to the fact that I had By no means utilized headphones/buds on any of my prior systems, I didn't truly mind not having use of these jacks. On the other hand, soon after months and months of becoming stuck at my desk for 12 to 18 hrs a day, my son suggested I get pleasure from my XM subscription at my desk. Wonderful thought, that is, fantastic concept only if I'm willing to access the headphone jack from the back of the PC with either incredibly significant over-ear phones, or add an extension to the typical in-ear buds (which nonetheless entirely inadequate).The other complaint---loud and the blue led, is crazy bright.

Excellent airflow, lots of space inside. Looks sexy. none, absolutely none I just bought my second 1 of these for a new machine I'm creating. I enjoy this case.

Comment:
Tool-less (mostly), cool black design and front has a full length filter method. Some sharp edges but its a less costly case not worth knocking an egg. Excellent case at a great cost go grab 1 :)

Comment:
Attractive design, very good finish, nice fresh air vent directly over CPU. Screwless design on expansion cards, motherboard tray seems set too deep. Cooler Master must never use this screwless style once more for expansion cards. The fit is horrendous. Luckily, there are screw holes if you wish to bypass this design feature. When mounting the motherboard, the supplied stand-offs did not present enough "lift" for the motherboard. This brought on the audio, USB, and so on connectors to not line up appropriately with the case. I had to back the stand-offs out to get them to line up appropriately.Also be aware if the interior space in this case. I am operating a Sapphire Radeon HD 5850. With 3 internal challenging drives mounted, there is barely sufficient room to squeeze this thing in. If I had put two additional internal drives into this case, the video card would not fit. For my construct, this case has 3 3.5" internal slots, not five as stated in the specs.
