COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Computer Case

Comment:
i love this case, for the price it's difficult to find better valuehere you have a brand name case for the price of a noname120 fan is silent, very impressed overall

Comment:
I bought this case because of the design. It is cooling orientated. Some of the tooless stuff that keeps the HD in place I have broken. Must use this thing delicately.

Comment:
Great case for the price. Fingerprint makrs do show up on the case and are hard to get rid of, but noone will see them if the case is under your desk. I would reccomend this case to anyone.

Comment:
For the price, I believe there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this case is great! Just add your own power supply and this case is a pleasure to work with.

Got it 7 days ago and had no problem building up my new computer. It looks nice, the air flow is nice, toolless and it is perfect for my needs. Would definitely buy again.

Comment:
This is an excellent case for the price. It was easy to work with, has good airflow, the fans are very quiet. The only drawback is a lot of dust and pet hair collects on the mesh on the front of the case, needs to be vacuumed off every few days.

I just got this yesterday and installed my computer in it (needed a better case for air flow, etc) and I'm very pleased with it. Very easy to use, toolless and simple to figure out. I'd buy it again.

Comment:
This is a good case for the price. Very nice looking too. Would recommend to anyone! However, since the front is open for airflow, it is not designed to reduce the noise from internal hardware like some other cases.

I love this case. Looks classy and is super functional. The only place you'll need a screwdriver is for the motherboard mounts. PCI slots and hard drive retainers are both screwless.Drawbacks are that the front fan is noisy, and dust builds up on the front grill quickly (or maybe I just need to vacuum more!).Great case. A+

Comment:
I have 2 of these cases, excellent size and quality the front gets kinda dirty tho as the front fan sucks air thru, nothing an occasional wipng can't fix tho.

This is the best case on the entire boxing day sale!! It is extremely well built, no sharp edges or missing pieces like other cheap cases. It has a sophisticated and sleek design, and it's super quiet. The best part about it is that it was so EASY to assemble!! It has thumb screws, and for drive mounts, it has some clips (no screws for drives!). This was a first for me, as I've been using a generic NCIX case for the past ...decade. It also has all the sweet features that I need, as I'm a gamer. It has front USB (for my iPod, game controllers, or anything else USB), Audio, which has speakers, and a microphone port (great in games!)The only flaw is that it says in the product description that it's alumium. But only the front bezel is aluminum, everything else is steel. But hey, for $49.99, you definitely can't go wrong. I was even going to buy this at regular price!5/5 -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent Budget Case! Extremeley Solid all around with a nice perforated aluminum front panel rather than a cheap plastic door that feels like its going to break. Everything mounts easily and feels secure. Overall looks better than most cases worth twice as much! Can't beat it for $66, will definately buy again.

I love this case. I've always had some cheaper brand cases before this, and I don't like the flashy ones with fins, neon lights and other eye sores. What a difference it is to have a well built case.Things fit properly unlike those cheap no name cases.The entire front is perferated metal, including the drive bay covers (5.25" and 3.5") so you get great ventilation.Behind the perferated metal are pieces of material that helps keep dust out. Seems to work. Only annoyance is now I have to occasionally clean the front bezel. Better that than having the dust inside.Because of the size of the rear fan (120mm) it's relatively quiet. Drop a good power supply in this and you are golden!With my old case, I could actually feel the box was hot, despite all the fans I added, and it was mostly because even though the fans were there, bad design made them less efficient and mostly just made more noise.This case's vents are well made and because of the front bezel, lots of air can flow in from a larger surface without making lots of whining noise.I'm sure there are even better cases, but at this price point, this has got to be one of the best.This case was well worth the money!

This case is excellent, really the only case i would buy, lots of airflow, 2 included competent fans and tool free installation. I also like the front ports. Really the only true negative is that the front gets dusty from the aire intake so you have to (GASP) wipe it off with your hand every now and then. Awesome case, in the price range where its clear that it is a case and not a graphics card *cough* antec *cough*

The Centurion is a very nice case - although not flawless.Visually it is very nice - subtle and understated.It's fairly quiet (once I replaced the 80mm front HDD fan with a Silenx model).It's alright for airflow - it won't win awards for cooling - but it's competent.The tool-free design for mounting drives it very nice and extremely convenient.It could have used another inch or two of length - my hard drives are only a centimeter or two away from the end of my 7900GTO video card.The screwless expansion card option is handy too - but it doesn't clamp tightly. To mount a full-length PCI-E card with a HSF you will need to attach some screws.The CPU airduct is correctly positioned and seems to work fine.Overall it's a very fine case.

Comment:
it's a very nice case. I like it especially for its design and all the holes in the front panel for ventilation. It's great that they placed a foam behind the holes to prevent dust from going in.There are pre-installed fans already - 120mm ones!! which means it is quiet!The only down side is that I only had one slot for my card reader 3.5" drive and no spot for a floppy drive..sure there's no one really using it, but it would still be nice to have one just in case.

Comment:
A great case, it feels solid and has enough room to work in. It has great airflow, front 80mm and rear 120mm fans included, has side vents for cpu and gpu, and the front bezel is basically one big vent itself. As mentioned in other reviews, the front panel does tend to collect dust quickly, especially near the fan, and it shows fingerprints on the sides quite obviously. Despite this, still a great looking case and I would definitely buy again.

Verry nice case. Good rpice for what you payfor. I was verry impressed when I got a hold of this case. It is verry study and built well. I cannot see a single flaw to it. For the price it is my favorite buy of my whole system.This case is tool free and has more then enough space for the moderate user. I highly reccomend this case would buy again and again.

Comment:
This is hands down my favorite case.It has a nice style and good quality feel.It's one of the few nice cases that doesn't suffer from computer 'ricer' syndrome.It comes without a garbage PS, so you can take the time and pick the right PS for your needs. Runs cool, and is easy to upgrade.Best case on the market right now.

Was having stability problems with my home server which I believed were due to heat. Purchased this case along with four Vantec Vortex coolers to move all of the existing equipment into.Installation was smooth and this case looks fantastic with the Vortex coolers in it. The toolless bays and expansion slots work very well.The quality of the actual steel used inside the case isn't on par with the higher-end Antec cases I'm used to (seems thinner and tinnier) but the front bezel (which, surprisingly, actually is part aluminum) and outside steel are all excellent.My only quibble with the case is how the wires that feed the front buttons and LED's are routed. Facing the front of the case, the wires feed through a hole on the left side of the case. Then, once inside the case, they're about 2" up from the bottom. They then have to be run across the bottom of the case to reach the motherboard.There is another hole on the right side of the front of the case. It's just big enough to re-route these wires through. Doing so puts the wires behind the drive cage (when facing the case from the side), instead of in front, and all of the extra slack can be coiled behind the cage where it will not be seen.Overall an excellent case and I'm very happy with it as a small home server case.

I have bought hundreds of computer cases over the years, and none have impressed me as much as this little $50 one.I ordered one while it was on sale as a last resort, I needed a black case, that was cheap, but not too cheap looking and it had to be in stock RIGHT NOW. I ordered this guy and boy was I happy when it arrived. After building a pretty high end system into it I decided it was going to be my new signature case for my high end computers and I ordered several more. With a black DVDRW drive, black floppy drive, and two glowing blue case fans these things look clean, professional and mean.Maybe my tastes wouldn't be the same as everyone elses, but for me this is my new favorite case, and as long as they keep selling them, I will keep buying them.

Well when I put together my first comp I used this case, seemed reasonable, except that I paid $140 because the computer store nearby is a ripoff, but anyway.. the power button fell off, which I had to glue back on, and one of the levers on the back for a pci card broke off so it doesn't lock in place anymore. Also the floppy drive was covered with the front grill thing, I couldn't easily get to any of the screws even with the smallest screwdrivers, so I had to bend and break it off. But those are small things, it keeps my stuff nice and cool as I'm not one to overclock, lots of hdd space.

I bought this on sale for $50, and have been very happy with it. Really the only complaints I have about it are that the paint is easily chipped and fingerprints easily show up, but these are minor.

I bought this for a second computer downstairs so noice is not a problem, it has a uge fan that makes up the noice so I guess you could get rid of it if you really wante to.This case is one of the best I have worked with as it is very easy, you really don't need any tools at all. Very nice for someone thats inside his computer case a lot.It is well designed and looks good too!I give it 5 stars, I have nothing to complain about this case.

I recently purchased this case and I'm happy with it so far. It looks very nice with a simple design that suits my tastes. The tool free assembly is easy to use. One problem I had was with my floppy not being secure. It took a few tries but now it's secure.Unlike others I didn't have a problem taking off the front plate. However, the tabs that hold the removable panels for optical drives were too short spaced. I had to cut small grooves in one side of my dvd drive faceplate to get it to fit.The two fans are working good and my temperatures inside the case are acceptable. I will install another fan though to get the temp. even lower. Loudness is not an issue for me, but for those who crave silent cases, this one is not.If you're a beginner builder, make sure you have your motherboard manual handy. The included manual is next worthless.Overall, I'm very happy with this case. It's a budget price case that delivers on performance.
