Cooler Master MasterBox 5 White with Dark Mirror Front Panel Computer Case 'ATX, microATX, Mini-ITX, USB 3.0, Window Side Panel' MCX-B5S2-WWNN-01

I purchased this case to build a new PC and have been very impressed with its build quality and features. I love the removable HDD bay enclosure, the multiple locations for mounting a 2.5" drive, and the additional width of the case which allows for cables to be ran behind the motherboard mount section. All of my cables can be ran behind the mount plate and then reappear in the appropriate places for connection to the motherboard.I was able to fit a 280mm radiator for a water cooler to the front of the case & mount 2x 140mm fans on the front to pull in fresh air. The power supply cover really helps keep the cables coming out of the PS hidden and clean. The feet keep the case off the ground, and the intake for the PS fan has an easy-to-remove filter/grate to reduce dust and dirt intake. The power and reset buttons are subtle, and both USB ports on the front of the case are 3.0. There's no place to put an optical drive, but that's okay. This is my first build w/o an optical drive, but realistically I haven't needed to use one in ages.I love the white case with black trim; paired with my own RGB/LED elements, it makes for a very attractive system build.

Okay, first and foremost, case arrived in perfect condition, no damage to the box or case, was packaged well.-Pros--Plenty of room-Easy cable management-Nice simple looks-Front panel is elegant (see cons)-Fans that come with it are okay and fairly quiet-Cons--No front dust filters.-The front panel looks lovely but unlike the black version of this case the panel on the white version is a solid pieces of smoked acrylic-like plastic. This looks gorgeous with some LED fans behind it, but it does not offer good airflow, the only air intake is through tiny vents around the panels edge and a small pass through built into the front case foot.-The PSU cover is a nice idea but this one is plastic and has no front end so cables can just kind of "ooze" out the front if not secured incredibly well.-There is plenty of room for a 3rd fan mount at the top of the front panel but there isnt really built in provisions for it, solvable with a bit of zip tie engineering.So Its not a bad case, looks nice, is quiet considering the solidish front, but it isnt as strong at cooling as the mesh version. I increased the amount of air that can be pulled in a bit by taking the entire front panel off the case and removing some of the structural plastic under the front edge... it doesnt seem to serve much purpose and you can easily open up several square inches of space for airflow.If this had been done from the factory or at least ventilated properly I would have given it 4 stars easily.Oh and if you throw some blue led ring fans in the front it looks niiiice.UPDATE: 6/30/17Ive dropped the rating of this case a notch, while out of the box everything I previously stated is true, Cooler Master is a nightmare to deal with, considering how they keep trying to push these "customizable" cases, just getting additional SSD trays for the thing is like pulling teeth and im stuck searching third party sites. If you are going to make a modular case with the promise of additional accessories then you should actually make and sell those accessories.

I just finished my first-time build with this case, so keep that in mind with my review. I love the look of the case (I got the Masterbox 5 white mid-tower case for $68) and I like the weight and feel of it, and it is pretty easy to open and move things around as needed. The cords are also labeled pretty well, but unlike most cases (at least what I read in TomsHardware forum) the wires are not color coded for positive/negative. THE ARROWS ARE THE POSITIVE.I did like the case, but it basically comes without instructions. I had no idea what any of the screws were for! I looked on Cooler Master's website for hopes of a more comprehensive instruction booklet with no luck. Computer forums were my only friend, and while I eventually figured it out it's super stressful to not have that information, especially as a first time build. Lack of instructions is what makes this 4 stars.Pros:Very versatileSturdy (but not overly heavy)Pre-installed case fansCons:Horrible instructions (not a big deal if you've ever build a computer before)Little pricey (I suppose it's an investment, right?)

This is a good case. Built my first PC in it and I was able get everything in it well enough. Cut myself on the metal so some grommets would have been nice. The back fan slot only works with 120mm fans not 140 and the front fan mounts were weird for me to mount a 140 and 120 fan but I'll chalk that up to me being a first time builder. Cable management is pretty ease with a lot of holes for it and a decent amount of space behind the panel a little more would have been nice especially if I was using a non modular psu instead of a semi that I went with for my build

Amazing case for $60. Unfortunately side window had a big scratch on it that I decided to just deal with rather than swap out but the case construction is great. If it was a $100 or more case, then maybe 3-4 stars because a lot of the screws seemed pretty jammed in there initially and a few key parts inside the case were black; I ended up taking some white rust-oleum satin spray paint and using it on the power supply cover, 2.5 SSD, and 3.5 HD trays. SO GLAD I DID. Looks insanely clean with the LEDs, etc. The attached pic has circles around every part that was black that I ended up spray painting. Oh, also no disk drive space so if you want to load your CD's onto this guy, get a different case.

With this being the case for my first pc build, i love the look of it and i love how there is a side panel for all the chords to make it awesome for cable managment. The glass is going to look awesome if i get some lights for inside the case. Can not wait to be done with it.

Il case è ottimo, la spedizione ha avuto grossi ritardi.

Pros:Beautiful CaseUSB 3.0 ports and microphone jacks are high quality.Lots of internal spaceGood cable managementBig Case, fits my Hyper 212 evo wellCons:The fans included aren't great.A lot of heat accumulates at the top of the case.Could have used more exhaust ports near the top of the case.Pleased non the less, would recommend liquid cooling vs air as the case has plenty of room for a custom loop.

Me costó 1,500$ y se ve increíble, de los problemas a denotar serian la falta de ventiladores superiores o que fue algo dificil de atornillar la motherboard debido a que la caja tiene diferente profunidad por si instalas una Micro ATX, mini ATX, ATX o EATX, por lo tanto no le puse 5 estrellas, a pesar de que si pude atornillar correctamente la motherboard.

great case, but didnt come with lot of extras like other cases come with

I didn’t mean to purchase this case believe it or not. But I’m glad I did.
