Cooler Master is looking at chassis design in an entirely new way in this latest chassis. Where they have been known in the past to come up with some really top tier offerings, and have always offered low-end and mid-range solutions as well, whatever your...
This is a bit strange, as in essence, we are really looking at two different cases in this review. First, we have the more basic MasterCase 5. Here we find a very solid foundation with the use of plastic and mesh to add the styling without being overly a...

Some builders must modify, and Cooler Master thinks it can help with the MasterCase 5 mid-tower. But is modularity enough to win an award?Designed to offer builders a wide range of component layout options in a single ATX mid-tower shell, Cooler Master's...
High quality materials, modular interior, secondary 2x 120mm radiator mount on front, strong carrying handles.
Primary (top panel) radiator mount, which is standard on the Pro 5, must be purchased separately for the lowermodel MasterCase 5. Designed for radiators, the mesh front panel lets too much noise escape from fancooled internal components. Both version lack...
The MasterCase 5 is a great case for liquid-cooled system builders who want the flexibility to place additional components, such as reservoirs and pumps, more conveniently. Users who want to add a top-panel radiator can choose between purchasing the upg...

In essence Pro 5 is a 5 with the addition of a windowed side panel, an extra fan at the front and a liquid cooling mount in the roof of the case. We didn't know what to expect from Maker 5 apart from ‘more than Pro 5' not least because the whole ethos of...
Impressively quiet, Tempered glass accessory panel is superb, USB 3.0 type C port on I/O, Heaps of options for installing extra cooling, Very tidy looks, Easy to move hard drive cages around, Two optical drive bays...
Price is rather high, Fan control is crude with only two positions – High 12V or Low 7V, Lighting control is single colour with three modes, Very limited range of accessories, Cable management is hindered by the fan/light hub which gets in the way.
Cooler Master has been teasing us with the MasterCase Maker 5 for quite some time and finally the wait is over. We have previously seen the MasterCase 5 and Pro 5 (and rather liked the Pro) but what we really wanted was the Maker 5.In essence Pro 5 is a 5...
