A large gaming case with room inside to work and fit a dual fan water cooler. It has a separate compartment for power supply and drives. It also enables concealing cables although space is a bit tight.

Otherwise, however, there's an awful lot of PC case here, even for nearly £140. Its big, brash exterior belies a chassis that's clearly been designed with a keen attention to detail and a quiet acknowledgement of the first H500P's flaws.

Attention-grabbing design; Acres of space inside; Excellent fans

Could have been more mounting brackets

It was way back at Computex that Cooler Master first announced plans to refresh its flagship line of PC chassis with a pair of new offerings. The all-singing, all-dancing Cosmos C700P arrived a couple of weeks ago promising everything but the kitchen sink for enthusiasts willing to hand over £280,...

Looks formidable; Includes dual 200mm RGB fans; Tempered glass panel is lovely; Keeps cable clutter out of view; Scope for high-end liquid cooling; Vertical GPU mount has potential

No front-facing USB Type-C; Some features require optional extras; Plastic top and front feel flimsy

The Master Case is unlike anything Cooler Master has done before in my opinion. Is it unlike anything else on the market? No, not really, it's innovative in its own little way, but it's not a huge revelation for the industry as a whole.

Excellent build quality; Sleek exterior design; Neat and tidy interior; Dual chamber design; Large high-quality rubber grommets; Modular drive bays; Water cooling support; 3 x 140mm fans pre-installed; Upgradable; Huge side panel window; Dedicated 2.5″ drive bays; Lots of cable management space,...

Upgrading Master Case 5 to Master Case Pro 5 may be expensive; Some accessories not currently available (coming soon and available on pre-order

In a break from the norm this is actually going to be two reviews in one. Why? Well because the brand new MasterCase5 from CoolerMaster is available in vanilla form and as the Pro 5 which offers additional features.

A Great huge case with fantastic cooling ability. Looks beautiful and has lots of space for the cable management due to the size. If you are building your system for the first time, I personally recommend this.

The MasterCase Maker 5t includes mounting brackets, cable ties, and a rolled-up pack of various screws in a decorative metal tin. Cooler Master adds a cleaning cloth to a separate bag that contains assembly and warranty instructions.

Excellent and finish; Tilt-out locking glass side panels; Hidden 5.25" bays are removable; Four USB 3.0 ports; Controller hub for six fans and four LED strips; Modular design with purchasable components

Stock fan configuration barely acceptable with our hardware

In this review I looked at the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t. This is a Mid-Tower case built on the popular MasterCase Series chassis and really pushes the limit on factory modded PCs.

Casemodding is the process of modifying your computer case to suit your needs. Sometimes this is something simple like a color change or can be more involved to support things like a complex water loop or hardware the case was never designed to handle.

With the mesh front. The two front intake fans as well as a rear exhaust fan and plenty of room for almost any build included stock the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t has the basis for a kickass gaming rig.
