Great tower

XION Onyx XON-303 Black/Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
XION Onyx XON-303 Black/Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case is large and roomy, making everything easy to get to. Lots of extra drive bays to add extra burners, card readers, etc. Considering there are 3 fans included with the kit (plus a space for one more) this thing is whisper quiet. Motherboard fit like a glove, with plenty of room for my massive CPU cooler. Love the enclosed front, clear side, and all those lovely blue LEDs... Would not hesitate to buy this one again.

Cons: Motherboard plate doesn't detach, but isn't a problem because it's so roomy. Screw holes for mobo are raised, so you can't use very thick spacers behind the mobo without causing an alignment problem with the rear I/O ports.

Overall Review: Looks great, quiet and cool. Very solid construction. Very impressed by this brand.

Does its job, light and fast

Pros: Perfect for portable use (notebooks, TVs). Extremely lightweight (you have to hold the unit to insert and remove discs) and very slim. Has secondary USB plug for extra power if needed (wasn't necessary for me, but there if you need it). Fast and quiet.

Cons: No complaints yet.

Overall Review: Good performance, excellent company, decent price.

Pros: Very easy to install, rock solid on the motherboard. Amazingly quiet, love the blue LEDs. Oh, and it cools like an arctic blast!

Cons: Huge. And I mean HUGE!! I was worried before I installed that it wouldn't fit within the side of my case, but it did, by about half an inch. Definitely don't think of using this on anything smaller than a mid-tower case.

Overall Review: Would buy another, without question.

Quality Case!

Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Extremely well constructed, durable steel. Fantastic air flow, thanks in part to wire mesh material used on front panel. Solid and roomy. Very attractive. Good placement of USB/Audio/Firewire ports.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I build a lot of computers, but this was my first case from Cooler Master. Based on this quality, I will definitely be using them again.
