COOLER MASTER Gladiator 600 RC-600-KKN1-GP Black Computer Case

For the funds, it's effectively completed. Easy, toolless style tends to make installing DVD drives and challenging drives simple. Case appears sharp, and the challenging plastic is protected with plastic wrap to avert scratches. Incredibly simple case to work in, has a hole in the motherboard tray for cpu heatsinks that call for backplates. Comes with two fans, 1 in best and a single in front.Has a button on front subsequent to the power button that lets you turn on or off the blue light from the front case fan. Nothing that would detract from a five egg rating, but there are a couple of issues to be conscious of. There are plastic catches that are supposed to take the place of screws for PCI cards. Nevertheless, they are rather delicate and can break easily (especially if you don't read the manual to see how they are supposed to operate). You can (and I did) nonetheless use a screw to secure the cards, so no large deal.Also, there is no fan on the back, even though there is a vent for one particular. I ordered a four pack of Coolermaster 120mm fans (~ฟ), and put 1 of them in the back. There's also area on the side panel for fans, also, if you want them. General, I seriously like the case and found it to be properly constructed and wouldn't hesitate to acquire an additional. This was a develop for my Dad, and I wanted anything classy but solid.

Strong building. Nicely placed fans and and lots of ventilation to hold your technique cool. None that I know of. Appreciate Cooler Master. This is my third develop with a Cooler Master case and I will continue to use them for all of my future builds.

Really effortless to function with, feels fairly strong, and looks much better in person. Quite excellent size that enables for plenty of airflow and upgrades, but doesn't look huge (personally, not a concern for me, but my gf didn't want some thing too huge). The incorporated fans do a excellent job, in particular the nice 140mm fan at the best. Soon after I got an Accelero cooler for my GPU, the entire method is whisper quiet.Also, I Significantly choose the energy button on this case more than my CM 690. =) Nothing seriously, unless you want a clear side panel or space for a Radeon 5970. Clearly, you should go for a thing larger and badder then. Perfect balance of kind and function! The price tag has creeped up a bit, although...

Extremely cost-effective case with a incredibly descent style behind it. The chassis itself has lots of area for future add on fans for better cooling. The truth that it does not come with all the fans is what makes this case marketable at a greater price tag point. Just want it came with all the fans, but i can reside with that.

Massive fans move lots of air at low speed keeping method cool and quiet. Easy, tool totally free drive mounting. Really hard drive vibrations are transmitted to the case causing a low-frequency thrum - really annoying. The tough drive mounting method is supposed to stop noise but it doesn't function. Attempted 3 drives from two unique makers and they all had the exact same issue. I can really feel the vibrations in the case's drive mount frame and applying pressure makes it quit, but I couldn't come across a permanent option. Tried wedges, moving the drive to one more slot, and adding thin insulation involving the mount rails and the case. It's also terrible I was so swift to throw away the box so I can't return it. Didn't buy this from Newegg but I obtain lots of stuff from Newegg and wanted other individuals to know of the vibration challenge. Bottom-mounted power provide requirements a extended cable to reach the 8-pin power plug on the top rated of my motherboard. Mine just reaches but has to lay more than the best of the video card and CPU fan. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Buyer,We apologize for any inconvenience. The item in question comes with a 1 year warranty. Please speak to us by means of Reside Chat so we can troubleshoot the source of the noise. It sounds like it may possibly be the side panels rattling simply because of the challenging drives, we would like to confirm with you and locate a solution.

Great case for the dollars Drive bays face outward to the side panel, so be certain you have suitable angled SATA cables on hand

Looks great, and has nice attributes. Thin sheet metal that case is produced of makes loud vibrating noises. The noise will come and go. I have wasted plenty of time on this case and I am very disappointed with Cooler Master as it took forever, roughly a month and a half, for them to replace the broken ESATA front panel connector. The case showed up with broken parts inside. The quick clips that hold the cards in the case had two clips broken. I purchased this direct from Cooler Master and simply because of them not sending me the parts to repair the new case, I could not send it back. It was now outside the 30 day return. I have a Cooler Master case and I will Under no circumstances buy one more. The factor looks fantastic and has fantastic functions but is created out of such thin sheet metal that it tends to make loud vibrating noises. The noise will come and go. I have bent door tabs, shimmed parts with rubber, and tried to bend other stuff inside case. Noise goes away and with in a day it is back. Just get placing a shim under a single leg of the case makes the noise go away for a day but it generally comes back. I have fastened the DVD drives in the case and that did the most help by creating the drives a structural assistance member in the case but it is just such a thin flimsy produced case. I have wasted a lot of time on this case and I am really disappointed with Cooler Master as it took forever for them to replace the broken ESATA front panel connector. The case showed up with broken components inside. The speedy clips that hold the cards in the case had two clips broken. I could go on but Cooler Master is not a very good source for cases.

Air flow out the wazzoo. I actually like getting the psu at the bottom of the case, you don't have to worry about a big heat sink finding in the way, cable management is less difficult, permits heat to exit straight out of the prime of the case, and so forth. A lot of space inside this mid sized case. Screwless, which I'm fine with. On top rated of that, I consider this is a genuinely good searching case. Sturdy as well. You could want to grab a 120mm fan for the rear, at least. There are four other spots if you need to have a lot more fans. If you are still utilizing IDE devices, preserve in mind that sideways mounting hdds makes it impossible for most standard sized IDE cables to attain in between the hdd and disk drive. At least that was the case with another case, this 1 is a bit unique and it appears like the two bays would be closer together. You could always use a bay converter or just rig one thing up your self. I was working with this for my second machine for a even though just before I utilised it to make a christmas present for an individual else. I'm sad I parted techniques with it now. Nice case.

For a somewhat low-cost case the create good quality is strong. Quite couple of sharp edges, side panels match snug, front face lines up straight and flush with optical drives. Incredibly uncomplicated build, pretty fantastic cable management. Fans are quiet. Front panel cables reach mobo connections very easily. Clips on expansion slots break effortlessly (but you can use screws to mount cards), no rear fan I was expecting a affordable case for the income I paid but it was the equal of circumstances that are โ+ much more high priced. Really quiet even with a rear fan added, everything works properly, and it was an easy build. Newbies and veterans alike will delight in it.

Strong construct on the case, tool significantly less assembly. And lets be honest its not a poor hunting case. My option was up in the air in between the p180, antec 300 and this. My create was org going to be with a micro in the p180 but size was only 1 inch diverse and cost was 50 different. The case is incredibly quiet! I want there have been filters for the intake fans that were quickly removable and similar for the cleaning. I am an anti dust freak when it comes to a pc. If you by this case get the full size atx mobo. I went with the micro atx prior to i chose my case and it looks goofy inside with such a tiny mobo. Msi-785-e65, Phenom II 550BE OC to 3.four on stock for now, Giel 1333 cas 6. Thermaltake black widow 850(Awesome!) stock cooler and old HDDs for now. Will finish my build when i get a lot more funds. In the next week i will have the dark knight cpu cooler.

I have utilised this case for 4 builds more than the final year or so. It is a good case for the income. Supports most midlevel builds with no problem. Advantages incorporate the following: sturdy make, high grade solid feeling steel, appealing, capacity to turn off front fan light, effortless to eliminate (but strong) front bezel, bottom mount PSU location, great ventilation opportunity. Also, just appropriate balance involving size, high quality, value, weight, etc. Incredibly nice finish. Front bezel pop-out inserts effortless to get rid of but remain put if you want them in. No hazardous sharp edges.Many opportunities for cable management by way of MB tray perforations to thread cable or attach with cable tiesTooless style great for HDD (see con beneath) The "air filter" for the PSU can not be effectively cleaned without having removing the PSU. Just throw it out. I want the energy/HDD LED was any color other than bright white. The reset button cannot be pressed by human fingers-need a pen, etc. Tooless design and style for 5.25" bays a bit flimsy. Just use tooless on 1 side and a few screws on the other and you are set.The plastic clips for tooless expansion cards are uncomplicated to break and as well weak to reliably hold a huge card. I just use a screw to hold it and snap out the plastic clipFront fan is fine. I want the second fan was 12cm fan for the back rather than a 14cm fan for the top.

Very nicely made case; Front bezel can be removed quickly for cleaning; hdd rack style is uncomplicated and integrated hardware is much far better than other CM cases using comparable design and style; straightforward access to the back of the cpu mount area; detents for cable management tie-downs; bottom mount psu make for quickly replacement and superior case airflow Mesh "dust" screen beneath psu can only be cleaned if psu is removed; not all five.25" devices mount securely with the tooless design and style; incorporated 140mm fan buzzed when run at slower setting; tiny reset button This has been a quite fantastic case. I have utilised this case as a desktop and migrated to a out-of-sight server. It is effortless to operate with, and is sturdy. At the moment it holds 10hdd and an Asus microATX mobo serving up to a home network. The front panel eSATA and well spaced USB make it simple to transfer information w/o moving stuff around or obtaining connectors pressed too closely. The front bezel comes off very easily, but not so effortless as to be concerned about it falling or bumping off.

This case has migrated from gaming rig, workhorse and now a server. Given the appropriate fans(quiet ones) this case tends to make a great all-about statement. The front panel is simple to get rid of, but doesn't feel loose. Front panel ports are effectively spaced for USB devices requiring 2 ports for power&data. five.25" covers keep in placed, but the tabs aren't so stiff generating it challenging to get rid of w/o breakage. CM tool-significantly less hdd bay is nice and the drives are held in location securely. The restart button is as well small. five.25" tool-significantly less design and style leaves substantially to be desired. Mesh material can be challenging to get totally clean. Inside of the case isn't black. Front stock fan can get loud as it slows down. Not possible to clean PSU filter w/o removing PSU. I'm giving this case five eggs b/c in spite of the cons the price tag range is really great. The case is sturdy even w/ the side panels off, when nonetheless being fairly light for its size and almost everything is accessible w/o a tear down. Be cautious with fan selections, and hold in thoughts the 14cm fan is low rpm. If the rear exhaust fan isn't a great match it will make the best fan near useless. I identified this out while sitting at my desk on evening.

Sturdy. I was going to get an Antec, but this looked a tiny far more sturdy and I want this make to last a lengthy time. -Front panel eSATA was DOA, broken internal wiring. I didn't RMA this because my MoBo doesn't support eSATA. I was fortunate, although; it looked like any of the front panel connections could have met the same fate.-Only comes with enough dust filters for the fans it comes with. I ordered three other fans to fully outfit the cooling, and I had to make a filter out of some thin foam I got out of my MoBo box. I thought that possibly the fans would come with dust filters, but no. Truly, although, they must have included enough with the case. If it weren't for these two items, it would get five eggs. This case does it's job at a very good, low price.

I only just took it out of the box, but the pros are clear-- usual good CM cooling, HD space, position and mounting, cpu cooler MB mount acces in rear of MB, basic wire management, appears -- on sale for แ.00 with free of charge shipping, I couldnt pass it up. I own 3 CM instances, and all have been good. This a single gives a lot of great simple characteristics not generally discovered in this value variety. Lots of cooling opportunities to be had with all the multi sized fan mounts 鲸-140mm) and the CM mesh front. I dont see how this case could not be adequately cooled with all the airflow, mesh and fan ports offered. There are no holes for water lines, so either mod for it or purchase another case. Bottom mount P.S. is uncommon in low priced case, filter is supplied and ps can be mounted up or down. E-sata port is also provided, as effectively as switch to turn off front fan led's. Testimonials indicate theirs space for for massive video cards also. I knew the price tag would jump back up on this one, so I grabbed it-- Just one small 1 - I would choose an alternative to direct screw mount my card reader, a nicely created bay adapter is included, but has to be installed using tooless and not as safe. This can be dealt with though, and I knew it just before so not going to take off for that. The card reader screws into the adapters inset brass threads, but the reader and adapter assembly are to be held in spot with the tooless locks, remains to be observed if this is secure sufficient for pushing and pulling cards. Appears like if spacer washers are inserted in between the adapter and bay screws may lock it safe. Once again you could mention it not being punched for cooling tubes, but a single can make that selection before hand, if not required its a non problem. Really hard to beat Coolermaster for a case in this price range, just about all of their situations are average or above overall, and the sales figures & critiques assistance that. the feature value in this case is a no brainer. If you like the looks and functions, youll like the case. I will say its a little pricey at the typical value of ๖.00 plus shipping.

Quiet, sturdy lots of features Poor manual This is a bottom mounted energy provide so make confident your current PS has long enough cables for each the mother board principal energy and the 12V p4 energy.

Highly decent case for the cash, a lot of capabilities you would uncover in more high priced instances. None yet

This is a fantastic case for a excellent price tag. Pleanty of fans 1 140mm and 1 120mm included with area for 3 a lot more. Filters on intake air good mid unit front panel wǘUSB ports. A couple of burs but I removed them just before I started anything. You can get a deburing tool from any tool supply house and you will use it on everything from plastic to metal.

- GG: In answer to the 2.five" install dilemma, I also found the toolless holder and adapter lacking when I attempted to install my card reader. There are 2 problems to repair here- the adapter has small plastic ears and the devices mounting screw heads just go through the substantial holes of the small ears and crack 'em. A extremely helpful repair is to use longer screws with the very same thread and some little washers with an outside diameter (larger than the plastic ear), but the similar inner diameter--primarily a tiny fender washer. Feed the screw by means of the adapters outer hole, place a washer on the inner side of each and every screw with needle nose pliers, run all 4 screws into the device this way and it will be tight in the adapter-- tedious but it works nicely. Then remove the cases slide lock by prying up at the rear stop & remove springs by bending up the little tabs that hold them. Then simply use the standard length screws that came with the device to mount the bay adapter. Adjust for fantastic face fit My major components wont be here till tomorrow, but I was putting in the card reader until then, and ran into this mounting situation myself. I nonetheless love the case, this is just one particular of these design oversights that could be corrected with a diverse adapter possibly. Its seriously the only severe flaw I see, didnt realize it till I attempted mounting my card reader. Im essentially considerably happier with it mounted this way, a card reader demands to be tight so it doesnt move when pushing and pulling cards in and out. I like toolless mounts, but I practically often end up using screws to install the two.five" devices, from time to time I even supplement the other bays with screws as well if required. I dont remove factors often enough for it to matter. Components coming tomorrow, if something else modding I will relate it then.

Possibility of a higher flow case with relatively understated exterior. The case has the capability to accept 4 140mm fans and 1 120mm at the very same time or five 120mm fans. The placement with my zalman cooler and my asus mobo blasts hot air ideal out of the major of the case through the CPU cooler and the 140mm that comes pre-installed. Tool-less design is fairly progressive. Bottom mount PSU with vent holes for intake on the bottom of the case preserve temps particularly low for the PSU itself and enable for fantastic air flow out of the upper back finish and best of the case. Make top quality wouldn't be pointed out here since general I've been satisfied however there is the tiny problem of 1 of the tool-much less optical drive mounting brackets being broken upon arrival (nothing that would have occurred during shipping clearly a high quality handle problem). I'd still advise this case to a buddy. I presently have four 120mm and 1 140mm fan installed, I'm hunting to change that soon because other than the 140mm and 120mm that came with the case I used antec and thermal take case fans that I had lying about from prior builds. I'm not necessarily going to go with 4 140s as lengthy as I can find 120s with excellent CFM and low'ish decibels.

Comment:
As a lot of other people have stated. I look at this an upper end price range case rather than a mid-level. Greatest bought when on sale. That hard drive mounting problem. The tool free of charge design is very good but you have to mount with the drives with the connectors facing away from you.This is not a case for really lengthy video cards.

Comment:
The case is absolutely stunning, effectively built, really roomy, and has remarkable airflow. Even with my new Athlon xII 240 OC'd at three.6Ghz, I'm idling at 20c and 40c below load. This case is properly worth the investment.For the price, I was expecting something a lot a lot more flimsy with sharp edges, and so on., but I was surprised that it's truly really sturdy and the workmanship is superb. none The only thing that could have produced this case any better is the drive bay covers could have been created so that they can be re-attached after removal.

Comment:
Great style for a windowless case poor tough drive cage area had to mount drives with connectors on the other side of the case due to side pannel clearance. I am not a huge fan of top mounted fans to uncomplicated for stuff to be dropped in to case.

Comment:
Extremely great, elegantly developed case. Images do not do justice when you initially see it with your own eyes out of the box.I fell in like with the tooless mounting, quite straightforward and fun to install drives.Overall metal excellent is outstanding for the value.Extremely suggested. Bottom psu style, my cpu power cable barely reached motherboard cpu power connector. Buy it!

Fantastic looking situation - appropriate for an office environment. Side mounted tricky drives leave plenty of space for my EVGA GeForce GTX260 ྪ.five") card with sufficient space to route cables around it. As opposed to previous reviewer, my Zalman 9500AT CPU fan fit on my GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard devoid of any case fan clearance difficulties. This is my second Cooler Master situation - I seriously like their design and high quality. Quite minor nit - The expansion card tiedown clips perform fine, but are hard to unclip with your fingers - they tend to grab your fingers as they pop open. Easy workaround is to use a screwdriver, important, pen, and so on to release the locking mechanism and keep away from a finger pinch. In these rare occasions when the clips don't hold the card in location really properly, just use a screw (like old occasions) to hold the card securely. One particular has to wonder about the competency of UPS. The driver came earlier than usual, and left a note on the door. He did not really feel comfy leaving the package on my doorstep - (NewEgg shipped the case in its original package - it was bright and showed a laptop or computer on all its sides). Fine, understandable - even in my really neighborhood. I named UPS that evening and told them I would pick it up at the depot. The 800 quantity gave me the incorrect operating hours, but the proper address, therefore I showed up a hour just before the location opened and had to return an hour later. They could not discover my packages, said they must not have been taken off the truck, so the truck will deliver later that day, the operator send the driver an email to deliver ASAP. I wait all day, but no package delivered. I get in touch with the 800 number once more, and they inform me it was last scaned at the depot. The next morning I again drive across town - The depot, immediately after an half an hour of searching lastly come across my packages. Yikes!
