whether you're looking for a pump reservoir custom GPU block or a complete loop and a box output Kools wide range of products can make your next water cooling adventure and easy one click the link in the description for more details and we'll go ahead and start right here in the front of the case which is probably one of the biggest differences is it has a piano finish here for the control panel I call the control panel because it's got your audio mic input reset button power it's got three USB a USB type-c connector as well as fan and LED control buttons it does have built-in fan and LED modules and we'll talk about that in a second but check this out right here on the front it does actually have five and a quarter expansion bays and the way you access them is not by a swinging door which has always kind of been a point of contention amongst cases that have doors people either love or hate them and the reason being is depending what side of the desk they might be on the door might open in such a way that it blocks your access to it or it might not even have a chance to open if it swings out at all if it's in some sort of a cubby then the door just as a problem and I've actually doubled that in the past with some of my older cases that I used so what Coolermaster has done is they've made this a little flip down and as its flipped forward it gives you access to the two five and a quarter expansion bays as well as access to the grill so you can blow out dust from your fans and whatnot and the thing actually comes off pretty easy too with just basic push tabs and think pops off you can clean it and stick it right back on but that's pretty neat because no matter where the case is now as long live access to the front of it you have access to your expansion bays and your fan filters now we're going to go ahead and move on to the top of the case which was another point of contention on the original case mastercase 5 was the fact that it had enough height to support radiators in all one water cooling loops but it did not come factory that way did not come with the bracket that you needed to mount the radiator you could mount fans in there if you wanted Coolermaster is now supported this out of the box and as you can see this top piece right here is actually just held on by a magnet and here is the top of the case once again you also have this little cover right here that opens up a filter so if you're not using top mounted fans which actually is not the way this comes pre-configured there are no fans on the top it comes with the bracket right here is you can see allow you to mount your radiator to it or if you have the existing master case five not the newest version you can upgrade your old one to these new features same thing with the front piece right here this door that flips forward you can buy this piece right here separate if you want to upgrade your older case as well so that's kind of a good thing in my opinion but it does come with the radiator bracket on top pre-installed but no pre-existing fans it does come with two 140 millimeter fans in the front and a 140 millimeter exhaust fan so it's supporting positive pressure the way it ships as well now moving on to the inside of the case this is where it's going to be pretty much unchanged there's not really anything different going on here with the exception of the fact that it now includes an LED light bar that is by the way magnetic so you can mount this pretty much anywhere you want because this is a steel case so it will stick to the top or the bottom wherever you want to put it now when it comes to drive bake your drive cages you can expand these you can buy more to put more and if you want you can see right here there's more room as I make the chicken arm there is more room right here for you to put another drive cage if you want but I pre-installed this here with a X power motherboard from MSI it's the titanium version it's a full sized ATX motherboard we've got a full size GTX 1080 in here I even included a master watt 1200 power supply in the bottom here to show that even though it's a mid tower case you can fit full length high wattage power supplies and still have plenty of room for the full modular cables right here as well as have enough room for the bends and even to put excess cables down though that you don't need and because the case is sitting so far off the ground even if this was sitting on carpet you could have the fan on this pointing down so that the power supply is pulling its own air and has its own little air environment without it affecting anything else in the case which is kind of neat but you can see right here there's plenty of room for SLI graphics cards you've got your mounts right here for your SSD cages you know if you've got nice SSDs you're going to mount them here and you're going to show them off let's face it but you also have grommets right here that allow pass through for your PCIe power cable so you don't have to try and route them through the back of the motherboard and then make a funky Bend you can come straight up out of here with them if you want to keep the cable routing more direct and a lot less if you will if you've got a power supply that's got real stiff cable sleeving then you know that trying to make sharp bends with them can sometimes be a real pain in the ass so they've definitely taken care of that but in terms of water cooling support because without something I like to take a look at you it does support a 120 on the back or potentially a 140 radiator if it's not too thick if it's too thick it might interfere with the side right here so you definitely would want to check clearance before you do that on the top it will fit a 240 millimeter radiator and some 280 millimeter radiators once again if they're really thick not in terms of thickness but in terms of widths sometimes they have extra width on them then it may not fit so once again you want to check your clearance on that but if you do remove this drive cage right here then you have access to install another 240 or 280 millimeter radiator on the front so you can actually fit two 280s in this thing which means you would have more than enough radiator to actually cool a CPU and two graphics cards if you want it and then you could even mount your small like laying DDC pump down here on the bottom run tubes up through here if you wanted or mount them right here on this mid tray and get rid of the SSD trays if you wanted to so there are some flexibility options on there when it comes to water cooling given how much you can actually fit in here that it's even though it's a mid tower case is I think kind of a big deal I might actually have to try doing a full custom water cooling loop in this in the future just to see how much you can fit in there now in terms of graphics card support you can see right here I have a full length 1080 in there and it fits no problem but it does get kind of close to the hard drive cage so if you are going to leave the hard drive cage installed you're not going to be able to fit big giant behemoth graphics cards like this ZOTAC amp extreme because as you can see it does impact on the cage and I cannot install it but if you did get rid of this cage and say you only had your SSDs here and a couple of hard drives that you can mount down here on the bottom you can take this cage out and then you can put any length graphics card in there dual length graphics cards like the 295x2 the Titan Z whatever long graphics cards would fit in there without any sort of problem now moving on to the back of the case right here this is where you start to see some really nice built in features they've got a recessed channel right here with velcro straps allowing you to run your cables through here without binding up and getting too thick the back panel to actually slide back on if you've ever built a computer and you know that you have a lot of excess cable if there's not a lot of room between the motherboard tray in the back case panel then you know that sometimes getting them to fit could be a problem you've also got plenty of room right here to actually put cables if you need as well or you can stuff them down here in the bottom but as you can see right here it also can include this module which is a LED and fan control module which is used by those buttons on the front of the case which I already showed you so it's got specific LED mountings right here you've got four of them so you can add additional LEDs to this as well as one two three four five six fan slots that are going to support three pin fans so you can control the fan speed on the front of the case without having to use software or anything like that this is also something that's available separate from Coolermaster if you want to add this to another case so you can definitely keep that in mind but look at the size of this motherboard cutout right here there's going to be no problem getting to the back of your motherboard to do things like cooler installations waterblock installation no problem whatsoever but all of that is nice but none of that is what I think is the coolest accessory yet for this case and let me show you that right now now like I said earlier in this video I like side panels but the problem is usually they're made out of some sort of acrylic or soft plastic and they scratch really easy you spray them with Windex you wipe them with even a soft microfiber or cotton and they scratch over time there's swirl marks everywhere and then your LED lighting all it does is light up and accentuate all of the scratches in your side panel well coolermaster has actually come up with a replacement side panel here that you can purchase which is a tempered glass this is actually a glass side panel and it looks freakin amazing because you know or maybe you don't know glass side panels actually do not scratch very easily and it even has this key right here that you can use to lock the panel in place so it's not going to accidentally fall and break and as you can see then your entire side panel is become glass and not just the the portion of the window that shows like on the plastic side panel because as you can see the plastic side panel here still has that frame the tempered glass one does not and this thing looks phenomenal yeah I I'm actually going to now probably look at doing two for glass for skunk works because it looks amazing unfortunately it weighs like a metric but tonight not that heavy obviously but it is heavy now it is a tempered glass which means if you drop it it's going to shatter so be careful with it we're going to take a look at the whole line of maker products I've got keyboards now they've got the power supply which I've already showed you got some really neat smart app functions so you can actually see what's going on with the computer and power usage live on a smart phone if you've ever wondered how much power your computer is actually using so we're going to take a look at all kinds of stuff and because of this tempered glass I wasn't sure if I was going to actually do a full build in this but the temp the tempered glass side panel alone made me go that that that's an elegant bitch right there I definitely need to build that so I guess we're gonna see I think this with good LED lighting and some sort of like a rigid tubing Bend and the nice bright fluid maybe something like a bright purple or something might look really and not not purple because that's color masters color but pink has already been done by Kyle and I've already done things like red and orange and blue and I'm doing green and skunkworks I know we'll see this is a bad look in case once you put that tempered glass panel on so I guess we'll go from there anyway guys sound off in the comments or hit me up on Twitter to let me know did they nail this one did they hit it out of the park or do you think there's still some changes that need to be made sound off obviously they're listening thanks for watching guys and as always I will see you in the next video
