When I was gathering up ideas together for building my new computer rig, one was very clear to me: I need a case that works and not one that is flashy or looks pretty. Whilst browsing others on new egg, I was suggest this Cooler Master Centurion case by a friend. It looked great, almost OEM and had a great price. After it arrived, the case looks much better in person than it does in the pictures. The old school screw-in technology for your drives is gone, now its an easy slide-n-push-lock via plastic tabs which makes the installation of any hard drive or disc drive a breeze; literally 10 seconds max! The locks for the motherboard cards are also snap in, which makes everything a breeze to install. There are 3 hard disc slots, 1 floppy and 5 disc drive slots, which basically are a nice buffer if you have a big power supply with a lot of cables. The case comes with 2 chassis fans mounted to it ready to be plugged into a power source, it also comes with a funnel for your cpu heatsink on the left side panel, with all the cooling holes and fans, everything was properly thought out, all you need to worry about it putting everything together inside, and fire up, no cooling issues here. Everything snaps in and off with ease and no use for power tools is needed. The only thing that this case does not have is the ability to flip the motherboard plate down on the right side, it is stationary. I got more than I bargained for with this case, the bang for the buck is massive, at 50$, you'd be a bafoon not to get one.

Pros: Great price. Easy HD/Drive acess. Front audio/usb connections. Side vents. 2 chassis fan included.
Cons: No fold down motherboard plate.
