Cooler Master combined classic and modern design in the Centurion 532, to create a case that will last. Housing one 3.5" external and five 5.25" drive bays it gives you more room than most people would ever use. It also gives easy access to the two USB 2.0 ports, Firewire port, and two audio ports by placing them front and center. They finished this with a classic black case with modern silver trim to make this an icon for years to come.
That's just the exterior though. The interior is where it really shines. The four 3.5" internal hard drives will give you plenty of hard drive space. The front vents feature an ingenious vent system that feature an easy-to-clean filter. The rear 120mm fan will have no trouble pulling the cool air in, and the side air duct will happily expel the hot air from your CPU.
Creating the perfect system will be a quick and painless proposition, as well. Each and every drive bay, both internal and external, features tool free installation, as do the side panel and the seven expansion slots. Make it easy on yourself. Get a case that will support your frequent "tweaks" and changes without skinning your knuckles or cramping your hands.

Good product for the price
- Pros: Adequately packaged. Carton was a bit dinged/scuffed up but product was undamaged. Fit & finish are good. Paint is smooth and no large gaps in joints. Aesthetically pleasing with matching black drives installed. Perforated metal with filters used for case front allows for good airflow with minimum dust bunnies. No sharp edges encountered during build. Drive retention mechanisms all fit & function w/o issue. Card retention mechanism functions acceptably. My video card was problematic in lining up with backplane on previous case and same on this unit. While the retention method worked, I did not feel comfortable enough with it, so I secured with a screw as well (nice that the holes are there if you choose to use screws). All other add in cards seemed secure enough that I did not bother to add screws. Rebate was offered with this unit at time of purchase. As stated in review title this is an good product for the price. Even without rebate still a good value.
- Cons: The retention method utilized for the case front should be refined. Instructions indicate that clips on one side are to be disengaged & clips on other side would disengage as front was tilted away from case. I didn't find this to be the true. After a few minutes of trying to get opposite clips to release I removed other side panel & manually disengaged clips to prevent damage. Getting to the filters behind the cover for regular cleaning will be a bit more annoying (two more screws to remove). I still install floppy drives in my systems (out of habit if for no other reason) & was surprised to find that the second (lower) 3.5" bay doesn't have an access knockout through the front cover. I had planned to install a floppy & fan controller in these bays. Fortunately I also have a controller that mounts in PCI slot. Instructions sketchy in a couple of spots probably due to translation issues.
- Other Thoughts: Good case for a low/mid level build. Would be cramped for a multiple drive/RAID/GPU system. Not listing as a Con as nothing in the specs or pictures led me to believe otherwise. This is the first Cooler Master case I have purchased. Even with the few small issues I would recommend it to others.
great solid case
- Pros: case is not flimsy, looks nice, buttons and ports on top front are very convenient, tooless installation, comes with air for CPU, supports 120 mm fans, very quiet, worth the price, the front of the case is covered in air filter to keep dust from forming inside, works very well
- Cons: side door sometimes tricky to lock in correctly, once you figure it out then its easy thou, not a big deal
- Other Thoughts: I really like Cooler Master and Centurion cases because they are well built and priced, I own 4 computers in centurion cases and they are all excelent

Good buy
- Pros: Quiet, simple to install components, decent airflow. Nothing like that new case smell.
- Cons: Wish it had a side fan for better cooling.
- Other Thoughts: I bought this for a friend(former squadmate, and fellow Marine). I have a 534+, and owned a 690, so I had some prior experience with Cooler Master cases. This wasn't much more than the shipping cost of one of my spare cases I have, and he got something new and unmodified with a warranty.
Just built my best system
- Pros: This case purrs like a kitten. The included front fan is low speed and quiet. I added a low speed 120mm fan in rear. The mesh front panel design allows for adequate cooling with low fan speed. The thick case metal = quiet. Intel MB w/Q6600 CPU. Coolmaster vortex 752 cpu fan.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Cool Master makes the best cases. Actually, I have the 531 model - not sold anymore. 532 is very similar.
Nice case
- Pros: Great case nice features, everything fit into easily. Rails were a pleasant surprise. Good quality for what I paid for it
- Cons: none
