Cooler Master Centurion 5 II Case Review

Conclusions

The Cooler Master Centurion 5 II is a terrific option for users on a budget. Of course, it could have more features, but then we would be talking about a more expensive product.

Strong Points

• Excellent cost/benefit ratio
• Air filter for the front fan
• Air filter for the power supply fan
• A huge hole in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler
• Holes for routing cables behind the motherboard tray
• One 2.5” bay (converted from an internal 3.5” bay)
• I/O connectors of the front panel can be moved to any other 5.25” bay
• On the Japanese version the interior and rear panels are painted black, and the motherboard tray and disk drive bays are painted red

Weak Points

• Rear panel and interior not painted on the regular models
• Some users may want a model with at least one USB 3.0 port
