Modular Design, Top Cover Kit Gives Plenty Of Room For A Dual Radiator, More Than Ample Wiring Cutouts, Well Engineered But Not OverEngineered, Removable / Movable Components Made For An Easy Build, High Quality, After Market Add On Kits, Clean Sleek Line
None At This Time, None At This Time
We had high expectations for the Master Case 5 and Cooler Master didn't let us down. The Master Case 5 and Master Case Pro are probably the most well thought out and correctly engineered cases we have seen to date. Every place we had to run a wire there w...

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...

The MasterCase 5 is a well-built, great looking mid-tower case with modern cable-management features and a unique drive mounting system that may have other purposes in the future, depending on what Cooler Master decides to do. Unfortunately, the ‘Make It...

Cooler Master's aspiration to design a modular computer case was definitely not small or simple. As a concept, the design of an upgradable and modifiable case existed for many years now but there were very few attempts on actually designing and retailing...

The MasterCase 5 is a big, hefty case with some equally big ideas behind it—and they mostly work. The FreeForm system is more flexible than competing modular setups from Fractal Design, for example, especially for 3.5" storage. I found the family of add-...
Solid build, Great level of engineering internally, Excellent cable-routing possibilities, Velcro strips for cable management pre-installed, CPU coolers of up to 190 mm will fit, Very flexible interior, Ability to hold extra large radiator in front, 2x 14
Full cover for top does not hold as well as it should, ODD tool-less system does not hold so well, Case handles not very comfortable to use
The Cooler Master Mastercase 5 goes for 125 euro including taxes or 110 US dollars excluding taxes. Expect to see a price premium of 25-30 euro/US dollars for the Pro version. Solid build Great level of engineering internally Excellent cable-routing possi...

Case Handles, Excellent built Quality, Adjustable rear I/O fan area, Excellent cable management features, Good enough clearance for most users, Replacing cable tie loops for velcro strips, Multiple placement options for HDD cage, Large and open front pane
Two USB 3.0 ports, On the expensive side in India, No preinstalled brass standoffs, Concept needs special addons that are not available in other MasterCase variants, Could have given a couple of more 140mm fans or windowed panel for the same pricing
Let's look at the standalone case first. The case's built quality is pretty good and having two handles makes it easy to move the case around. The removable top panel frame is good to easy maintenance and installation though I really wish Cooler Master di...

Strap yourself in, this is going to be a rough one! Ok, first the good stuff. The CoolerMaster MasterCase 5 and Pro 5 are both very well made cases, in fact, and we don't mean this in a bad way, they are much better built than a lot of stuff we've seen fr...

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...

What case is best for you depends on the purpose you have for it. If you want a silent case, you might be willing to sacrifice some of the cooling performance. On the other hand you might tolerate a bit more noise when you are building a heavy system th...
