I like the aesthetics, and for a case in the $50 range it comes with some great features! If anyone is in the market for a cheap case, seems like CM has nailed it with this one :thumbsup:

I agree I think CM is my new favorite maker of cases, my friend's 912 was amazing!

I also am a fan of Cooler Master case. I much liked the CM Storm Sniper I reviewed. They also make great periperals as I still use the CM Storm Sentinel Advanced Mouse I reviewed.

This particular sample with the red interrior appears to be a special edition of the case so I'm not sure that one in particular would retail for ~$50 like its counterparts. That and it seems to be hard to find a Centurion 5 II in stock anywhere let alone the one with the nice red inside.

:biggrin: Looks like I was a little late for this one ;)

Comp, seems like your right! I am having a hard time finding the case in stock anywhere, let alone the red interior version :dunno:

This is the first time I've seen it in a review here, but the case that was being reviewed was put in the first graph line(far left), this made it a lot easier to compare with the other cases for me. Every time I see them in order of performance but that makes it hard to find. I know on GPU reviews it can be hard to see where the GPU under review is, with so many comparisons. Would be great to see this done on every review.
