With its innovative styling and high quality construction, the Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW case lends a hot, edgy look to your system.

Pros: Great airflow! And I mean great! My old custom case was a death trap compared to this. The perforated front panel combined with the 80mm intake and the 120 outake fan is more than enough to keep this spacious case cool. My temperatures on almost all my components dropped almost 20 degrees! I also replaced the coolermaster fans they offered (which I bet are good too) with Apevia 120 and 80mm Red LED fans, after I get some cathodes my case will be a rich red color. its great! The looks are simple yet elegant, and with my Red LEDs going its looks darn sexy.
Cons: Basically none. Only two I can think of are that there is really no removabel motherboard tray (and this might not even be a con) and maybe that the front panel is somewhat tough to get out, but really all you need is a little muscle (Im starting to get concerned about the body build of the geek race as I read these reviews). Basically flawless in design and the size that others have mentioned as a con is really a big plus, better airflow and less cramped components.
Other Thoughts: Buy it if you need a nice case with good air flow! Dont hesitate!

Pros: Very sturdy, well built, and the fans are very quite. Beautifl looking, but not over the top. I wasn't into the flashy, expensive cases with cheap plastic parts. Toolless design is a plus.
Cons: One con but it's an easy modification. You have to pull out cd/dvd drives to remove front cover once they are installed. For those who don't like having to open side panel, unlock cd/dvd drives and then pull them out to remove the front oanel, just use a dremel tool and zip off those tabs on the inside edges of the front panel (you'll never see this) and then the front will slide perfectly over the cd/dvd drive, nice and flush. If you don't have dremel, heat with lighter and cut them off.

Pros: I have two C-M cases already, one of them the C-M Centurion 5 CAC-T05 UW BLACK W/O see through panel, and this is an excellent case, not only for it's looks, but what you can do to it for a nice gaming rig and potential air flow. I order this case Friday to build a gaming case for my son, and plan to dress it up with some nice lighted fans, lighted LED CPU fan , a nice video card with a LED VGA Cooler, and a lighted power supply.
Cons: Case is limited in routing and concealing cables and wiring. Since the power supply is at the top, and if your good with metal drill bits and other metal cutting bits and cutting tools for metal, you can cut extra nice clean outlets according to the size you need at the top an bottom of the Motherboard panel to run and conceal all your cables and other wiring to the back panel to give the inside a nice clean look that will show off your components and most of all, give the inside case maximum air flow. This case is a modders dream to fix up to look nice and showcase your components.
Other Thoughts: I was told to look at CFM or Cubic Feet per Minute is what you want in air flow, so look at the specs in the fans you choose. There are some good ones here for excellent air flow, but the tradeoff might be a little louder fan. I like the Thermaltake A2016 80MM an A2018 120MM Blue Case fans with adjustable fan speed controllers or the Silverstone RL-FM81 80MM an FM121MM case fans with adjustable fan speed controllers, and the Zalman CNPS 9700 LED 110MM, which gives you three powerful fans moving air though this case. You can also remove two metal brackets out of the top front of case and install another 120MM case fan. So now you have Four Fans; a 80mm & 120MM in the front, a large CPU fan pulling air through and off the CPU; and a 120MM fan exhausting from the rear, based on the adjustment off your fan speeds. A virtual wind tunnel that keeps you components nice an cool! COOLERMASTER makes excellent cases, and with a little ingenuity, you can mod this case to look real nice.

5870 WILL FIT!!!

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: I already wrote a review on this case. But I wanted to relay a message to people worried about buying this case because they are also considering buying a ATI 5870. Well don't worry THE ATI 5870 WILL FIT!!!! With out any case modding. All you have to do is make sure that you don't have any hard drives in front of it. I called Cooler Master and they told me it won't fit. They said it was impossible. Well being the non listener that I am. I ordered it any way and tried. So don't worry it will fit with an 1/8 of an inch to spare!
Cons: None.... except the stock fans stink!
Other Thoughts: Still a great case. I was sad because I thought I would have to get rid of this case when upgrading my video card to the new DX11 generation. Well I didn't have too. This case is great for modding. It also never stops surprising me with all that it is capable of! Two thumbs up still after 6 months!
