Cooler Master Cosmos S - Review
Review of Cooler Master Cosmos S by
AndrewMB
Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing
...bag, and then again, inside Cooler Master'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 ... ...bag containing all of the necessary bits and pieces to assemble the case and control the cable management. The plastic bag contains; tie wraps, cable management fixings, screws of varying sizes, 3 1/2 inch fixings, and a motherboard speaker. There is a huge surplus of screws and fixings, so don't worry about running out!
To open the case (either side) there is a quick release latch on the top rear of the case that when pushed upwards releases the ...

Smart, cool and quiet.
Review of Thermaltake M9 VI1000BNS by
DAkuma
Advantages: Great airflow, Looks very nice, great features
Disadvantages: side door is removable type with thumb screws, not swing door
Firstly, let me point out that I have the window version of this case, which has a very wide perspex side window with vents and options for fit various size fans to the side. It also has a blue LED fan at the back, lighting up the internal components, and in my opinion looks really good when you dim the lights in your room. This version if you look around (I got mine from Laptops & Supplies) is about the same price. Also, there are 9 drive bays.
... ...weeks of Googling to find a case that fitted my exact criterea... I needed it to look smart, a little flashy, but also serious. Tick a box here.
Dimensions:
I also had a problem finding another case looking like this to be not too deep that it would stick out from under my small desk and dig into my knees. Believe me, most of these style of cases are extremely deep and in my opinion detract from the looks as well as practicalities. This case out-performs ...

Antec Fusion HTPC/ Media centre case
Review of Antec VERIS Fusion 430 -UK by
Dancake2008
Advantages: Stylish, Can fit full size GPUs, Easy to set up
Disadvantages: Standard Tri-cool fans are too noisy, VFD display functionality is a bit limited
I have been running the Fusion now for six months with now problems. I am running an Intel e6600, geforce 8600GT and an Audigy soundcard in this case- all fit perfectly and dont warm the case up too much, even with the 3 speed fans set to the lowest setting.
The VFD display on the front of the unit works well and it is a variation of Soundgraph's IMON device. The only disappoining part of this is however that the Fraphic equaliser does not seem ... ...Vista Media centre, this is not much use.
My main problem with the unit is the noise from the "Tri-Cool" fans; even on the lowest setting they are too loud for a media centre: With the volume down on the TV (ie now at 12.15 with my wife in bed) I can clearly hear them droning away- quite annoying.
Fans aside (you can buy much better ones for less than £20) this is a great looking case and it comes reccomended. (NB it can also be used with an MCE ...

Excellent yet unassuming...
Review of Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05 by
dc6118
Advantages: Great design, tool-less parts work, does everything it should
Disadvantages: Front vents clog with dust
I built my computer over a year ago, and decided to push the boat out a and spend a bit extra on a case. After reading some good reviews I chose to go with the Coolermaster Centurion 5 in blue, and am glad I did! I never really imagined the choice of case could make too much difference but this really is excellent. The design is simple and unassuming, yet somehow very classy, the brushed blue aluminium and blue LED's work well. Functionally it works ... ...fiddling with screws on expansion brackets (although the screw holes are there should you wish, but it is very secure) and the drive bay holding clips simply work, I transport the case a lot and have had no slippages. The case includes a rear 120mm fan, which is very quiet but very effective. My only problem is the front vents (surrounding the power buttons and in the empty drive bay holders) which contain a foam for stopping dust entering the system. ...

Worlds Thinest PC Case
Review of Hiper Desktop slimline by
richooooo
Advantages: Small,Looks Good
Disadvantages: very small inside not enough room for full size graf card
Hiper Media Center Case:
Bought this Case for me bedroom to go with my new television, The first thing I thought when I seen the case was how small it was looks similar to a DVD Player in size and you would not fink you could fit a pc in there. The Case its self is Black with a Small button in the centre of the case, this is the power button to turn the computer on. On the Right Side of the case there is a Plastic panel the size of the CD Drive ... ...a built in remote sensor, Hiper have soon fixed this with the latest model it has both LCD Screen and Remote sensor but it is double the price
I bought this case for £55 from Ebuyer and it cost £15 for the Low Profile CPU Cooler and it cost £12 for the PCI Riser card these were both from XCase, all in all I would say that it is worth it if you want a very tidy media center pc in your living room, Well worth the money but you need to make sure you ...
