We make no bones about the fact that Coolermaster is one of our favourite case brands. We’ve reviewed, loved and, in some cases, continue to use models like the HAF series, and the various CM 690s. Even the Sniper and Scout cases are not without their...

As PC enthusiasts, we tend to gravitate toward bigger and better, but not everyone needs a huge case with all sorts of fancy features and accessories. Sometimes small and simple is better. Let's say your mom finally decides to take you up on your offer...
Installation was a bear. Other than the tool-less drive locks, it was a fight the whole way through, to get everything in. I would have scored it a 7 out of 10, but I added a point because of the low price. For the MSRP of $59.99, I can put up with an...

Though low-cost cases are everywhere, a limited few are outfitted with the extra cooling capacity required by gamers boasting performance hardware. This is just as true for budget builders as it is for high-end systems, since the budget parts often are the ones that get overclocked to match the speed of pricier pieces.
