Centurion, an honorable name, represents quality of Discipline, Integrity and Loyalty. With the Centurion besides you, now you can concord the world feeling safe and proud without having to be a Caesar.
Advantages: Great value, good features, tooless design, compact Disadvantages: Some parts are cheap, hard to work in, poor cable management
...The Coolermaster Centurion 530 is one of Coolermaster's budget cases, but in many aspects of the design this does not show.
Looks
The case looks excellent, with the two silver poles giving it a striking finish. When on, the front fan glows blue, making the case look very nice. The top two bays are stealthed, meaning that the front panel is a flap which is pushed down by the drive - this is handy as it allows you to use beige drives without worrying about the appearance. The sides and top are pretty unremarkable - there is no window, but on the left side panel are two vents; one for the graphics card and one for the processor.
Cooling
The case ships with 1 120mm fan - the front blue one, while there is another space for a 120mm fan at the back. 120mm fans are much better than 80mm fans as they have bigger blades and so can...

Advantages: Cheap, well ventilated, screw-less design Disadvantages: None for me.
...When upgrading my computer and installed the new parts in my old case, this proved to be a bit of a silly idea as the temperatures it was running at was too high.
Having largely spent out on the upgrade i wanted a fairly cheap case.
The CoolerMaster CM690 looked like it was to fit the bill perfectly, its was fairly cheap approx £55, it did NOT come with power supply, which for me wasn't a problem as I'd just bought a new CoolerMaster Real Power M620 620W PSU.
To start with this case looks very good and feels light when empty.
It also feels sturdy and well balanced on my desk and on carpet, although a carpet with too high a pile on it could interfere with the PSU exhaust and the mounting for another fan.
The front and top of the case is basically a big grille which obviously helps with letting the hot air escape.

...First of all the Cosmos S case comes in excellent protective packaging. A sturdy cardboard outer box encases two styrofoam blocks (top & bottom) which prevent the case from moving at all during transportation. The case is wrapped inside of a plastic bag, and then again, inside CoolerMaster's own fabric bag which is brown in colour and is strong enough to retain and use in the future whenever the case needs covering. It's the little extra's and attention to detail that makes a lot of difference in my opinion.
If first impression's are anything to go by, then this case ticks all the boxes. It's huge, beautiful and demands the attention of any passer by, whether they are interested in computers or not!
Along with the case comes a plastic bag containing all of the necessary bits and pieces to assemble the case and control the cable...

I purchased this PSU when I got the rest of my new system to build because I know Cooler Master have a good reputation when it comes to power supplies and computer cases, and I must say that I made a good choice in doing this, as I have had no problems... more
