| Cooler Master Centurion 532 Case
|
Conclusion:
I have used the Cooler Master Centurion 532 case for over a week now and I can't find anything that I don't like about it. Installing parts was simple with the tool-less design, and only due to my modified optical drives did I have to use screws. There seems to be a good amount of room inside this case and nothing interferes with the connectors on the motherboard.
One of the biggest advantages for me was the fact that I can use two 120mm fans instead of the four 80mm fans I was using in the ATCS case. The noise factor has dropped and I haven't seen any rise in temperatures. Overall the fit and finish of this case is very good. I like the Centurion enough to finally have found a replacement for my aging ATCS.
A quick check of PriceGrabber shows the Cooler Master Centurion 532 (without window or power supply) retailing for well under $100.00, even under $80 shipped from some stores. If you prefer the factory windowed side panel to be included, the Centurion will set you back about another $25.00.
Until I can find the "Perfect" case I will stick to the Cooler Master Centurion 532. I award the Cooler Master Centurion 532 4.5 out of 5 stars and a rating of "Highly Recommended".
Final Rating (4.5 out of 5 stars):  
Pros:
» Style
» 2 x 120mm fans (1 included)
» Top mounted user panel
» Full filtering across the front
» Well-done tool-less design
Cons:
» 5 ¼" tool-less devices not adjustable
