big thanks to msi for sending us to Computex this year we would not be here without them also thank you to lynda.com all right guys we're here at cooler master suite checking out the cooler master master case pro/5 and with the freeform modular system now what the heck is that we'll get into that in a moment when you first look at this case it looks fairly standard there's a mesh front panel there's a mesh top panel there's a filtered power supply thing on the bottom in terms of i/o you've got two USB 3.0 ports two audio jacks of reset button the power button a hard drive LED light and it's it's really really sturdy for some weird reason they let me stand on top of it I would super not recommend doing this but it supported my fairly large frame which was actually kind of impressive just under the top penalty of a drop mount to Radiator install so you could take that radiator mount thing outside of the case install the radiator there and then put it back in the case which makes it a lot easier also the side panels this is kind of a minor thing but the side panels when you unscrew them and slide them back they don't actually just fall off the case they'll they'll kind of hinge there for a moment and then they're easy to remove after that the left side window has a large kind of square window cut out for it and there's a little plate on the bottom which you can actually remove that plate is for covering the power supply so if you want to hide that area or again you can remove the plate and then show the power supply whatever you want that's kind of a sneak peak to the free-form modular system on the inside you have padded rails for the power supply and you have two different kind of Bay areas for the hard drives you have one that can hold two three and a half inch hard drives another one that can hold three three and a half inch hard drives there's two SSD sleds which you can have either in the front of the case or in the back behind the motherboard tray whichever one you want and there's a channel for cable management in the back as well along with some velcro straps to keep those cables nice and tidy in terms of stock cooling you have a 140 millimeter fan in the front of the case and a 140 millimeter fan in the back of the case and then for kind of the last feature we've got in terms of standard features you have the large CPU cutout but then we get to the truly interesting part about this video and that's the freeform modular system those hard drive bays that I talked about earlier they install in a kind of unique way there's a big circle small circle system on the back of the case and then some kind of screw areas on the right which allows them to install pretty much whatever the heck they want here yeah hard drive bays that's fine but not only can you move them around so you can fit whatever the heck you want in your case but you can also install stuff like a graphics card holder so if you have something like the Galax 980 Hoff which is very long and heavy and might droop in your case despite its pretty nice-looking backplate you can have something hold it up so you don't have to look at a droopy graphics card all the time or you could install something like a reservoir or honestly pretty much whatever the heck you want a big part of the idea here is that they want to work with the community so if you have an idea for say 3d printing something like an air channel they might work with you on that they can help help you bring that to market yourself or help your creation become a reality but it's not just where the hard drives go you can install a redundant power supply in the bottom you can install tempered glass panels which they're probably gonna have available on the sides or the top or even the front of the case it doesn't freaking matter you can do whatever the heck you want on the top of the case you can install handles I know my brother at cold SC on Twitter would love that he installed the cross handle on his cosmos - a while back and they've got stock handles here you could even stall your own you can change pretty much whatever you want some more standard stuff that you might do is say swapping out the i/o on the top of the case you can have USB type-c in the future they've designed it so it's not really really hard to remove with things permanently strapped in you can actually take that module out and it's no problem also you could say buy more hard drive trays or buy more sleds for your SSD it's not that big of a deal so what's the point Coolermaster is doing all this maker stuff all over the place this isn't the only maker thing that they have here at the event and their idea is that they're trying to unlock what people want there they're trying to let people run away with their ideas and that's actually really cool things in the computer space can get a little bit dry with certain cases it's like oh well every single build that I will ever see in this case will have a dual radiator in the top some other basic things and then we're done the idea here is that they want you to experiment with things and try things will actually help you out speaking of that comments down below let me know what you want to see in this case coolermaster will be paying attention I've got a guy in the background who's listening to me right now he'll read it he'll read those comments and he'll actually intake all of that stuff so if you want to see something available when this case is available or in the future let them know also let me know at Twitter at Luke or la Fr thank you again to MSI for sending us here we wouldn't be here without them in the link in the video description down below it's a bitly link they have all their products that they launched at Computex this year including their laptops with have Broadwell processors also thank you to lynda.com lynda.com slash Computex for a 10 day free trial you can start learning right away like dislike favorites subscribe share follow whatever if you want to see all the rest of our Computex content stay subscribed the line of sick tips thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
