the Coolermaster mastercase pro 5 not as cool as a master sword but pretty cool regardless this case is cooler master's attempt to glom on to the maker movement and feed into that mentality and they do this through therefore a free-form modular system what the heck does that mean stay tuned to find out and like this video if you want to see another trolling at pax prime intel brings ddr4 to the mainstream with their all-new core i7 6700 K and Core i5 6600 K processors click now to learn more so what the heck is the freeform modular system well at its base level what Coolermaster is trying to do is make a case that is largely constructed using screws and other modular connections so that you will be able to swap things out easily say you'll be able to swap out the top IO for something like USBC compatibility throw redundant power supplies in the bottom mounted reservoir in your hard drive bay area put tempered glass on the sides or even on the front hook up a graphics card mount support so you don't have heavy cards droop and much much more they're also planning on somewhat leaning on the community here so if you have any suggestions for anything be sure to let them know on Twitter at coolermaster now let's get to the base system case we have here today the unmodern aster mastercase pro 5 this case is quite sturdy as you can see I don't actually recommend standing on this case but it's an impressive sight nonetheless moving on we have the front of the case there's two five and a quarter inch bay covers and a large filtered front panel below that up above we have the IO on an angled part of the top of the case up here you have two USB 3.0 ports a hard drive activity light power and reset buttons and a headphone and microphone jack on the left side panel there's a very large square cutout with a slightly tinted window and in the bottom there's an option for a black panel that will cover your power supply and some hard drive gauges this is easily removed by removing two screws if you do want to show off that sweet sweet juice machine the right side panel is fairly plain but both of them feature hanging thumb screws and when you remove the panel it won't fall off right away the bottom of it will hinge on the case until you lift it out a nice touch moving to the top there is a removable bracket which houses a filter and covers up another removable bracket which you can install to 120 or 140 millimeter fans and their respective radiators this is nice because you can do the annoying set of screwing in your rad and fans outside of the case instead of fighting with it on the inside last of all there are handles up here possibly immediately apparent but they're there and they seem pretty sturdy as well on the bottom of the case you have the power supply filter and to bottom supports which have two rubber feet each these support legs are removable as well which is great to see even though the majority of you will probably be leaving them on the back of the case supports one 140 millimeter and 120 millimeter fan in the same spot which can be placed slightly higher or slightly lower in order to line up with your air cooler of your choice and the power supply is mounted using a nifty little external bracket so now for a look at the inside of the case starting with the front we see mounts for three 140 millimeter fans two of which are included you can also choose to mount a 280 millimeter radiator here but because of the cases top shroud you can't install a triple rad just behind these fan mounts is a modular drive based system the master case comes with a total of three drive cages two for hard drives and SSDs and a third for your two five and a quarter inch bays if you're still into those kind of things the position of the hard drive cages can be adjusted vertically for better air flow or cable management or just removed completely if you're not really using any mechanical drives and that can be easily adjusted or taken out with thumb screws one thing that I liked is how the cages didn't just fall down after I took out the thumb screws you have to pull on them just a little bit so they don't go crashing down into the floor of your case each cage has two lists slide-in mounts with anti vibration rubber pads now thing we haven't seen before but still nice one of these cages is in the basement area that's becoming more common on cases these days it contains both the power supply and a mount for the hard drive cage that we mentioned before or some maker stuff if you want to go that way which can be moved from the front of the case if you need extra clearance or something like that radiator that drops down on top of the basement or a pair of SSD brackets that are to install with just a single thumb screw but keep in mind that these brackets do hide your SSDs which you may or may not like depending on how you want your bill to look you'll also find a power supply mount down here which includes anti-vibration rails and a removable dust filter which we've mentioned earlier and when it's time to do something with all those cords coming out of your power supply the master case offers some pretty good cable management options you get three large rubber lined grommets along the right hand side of the motherboard tray two holes on top and two more holes on top of the basement for SSD cables as well as anything that you might need to plug into the bottom of your motherboard the back of the motherboard tray inside the backside of the case has velcro straps for all of your front panel cables which are neatly pre managed as well as a couple cable loops for your eight pin connector and while these things are nice I would have liked maybe some more stock cable management features but in the accessories bin there are two stick honorable cable loop things which you can utilize and speaking of the motherboard tray the accessories kit includes a little standoff socket that you can place on the end of your screwdriver enabling you to screw them in with just a screwdriver instead of struggling with your fingers very cool so in conclusion it's a pretty standard case a good standard case but standard nonetheless for the moment at least it has the chance of evolving in the future that chance relies on the community giving coolermaster feedback and an input on what they would like to see this case grow into and it relies on Coolermaster following up on those suggestions and unlocking the various possibilities that they have thought of and that the community has thought of as well
